In other news, MTV has reposted that Stephenie Meyer will direct Jack’s Mannequin new music video. According to Andrew McMahon, there are going to be lots of water in the video - sadly no vampires. Here is an excerpt:

“Yeah, there are no vampires in the treatment. There may be a mermaid, but I’m not sure. I don’t want to give away too much, because we’re letting [Meyer] run with her vision. … I mean, I will say there’s a good amount of water in the video and … what else can I say?” he said Thursday (August 28). “It’s cool. It’s not some sort of exposé on my life. … It’s nice to know we’re going to make a video for the sake of making a video. [We're] making something that’s kind of fantastic and different and exciting but isn’t about the song specifically, and it isn’t about me specifically.”

“So I said, ‘Can I reach out to her and see if she’d be interested in writing for the video and coming out and directing it?’ And we got her music, and she was fantastic, and we’ve been working with her ever since,” he continued. “And it works so well, because [with my music], I always try to create something super-visual and create a backdrop where people can take a bunch of experiences but relate them. And she’s done that in a huge way with her books.”
