Going, Going Gwan

Under normal circumstances, the concept of a video of a guy walking around NYC with a mohawk would sound right up my proverbial street, but this being 2017, the `hawk just doesn’t mean what it used to, I guess.

So, Wattie Buchnan he is not, but Rostam is an erstwhile member of the equally celebrated and maligned Vampire Weekend (themselves no strangers to making NYC-centric videos), whose newly unveiled video, “Gwan,” finds the gent strolling around various areas of Manhattan and, I believe, Brooklyn.

Musically, I find it a bit twee (as my lovely wife would say), but to each their own. See what you think….
