This video features PRO SKATEBOARDER STEFAN JANOSKI. This is good. I wouldn’t want to bother with a video featuring an amateur.
Originally recorded for 1994’s NEW TIMES, this latest version of “I’m Nothing” sees a featured appearance from pro skateboarder Stefan Janoski. A lifelong Femmes fan, Janoski has also teamed with the band to create the Nike SB Zoom Janoski “Violent Femmes”– a one-of-a-kind exclusive shoe inspired by “I’m Nothing.” Designed by Janoski, the Nike SB Zoom Janoski “Violent Femmes” will see the words “I’M NOTHING” screen-printed in the skateboarder’s handwriting on the tongue of the shoe, while his exclusive artwork will be included on the custom sock liner. Chain stitched on the left shoe will be the word “VIOLENT” and on the right shoe, the word “FEMMES,” with a vulc tape mirror appliqué in Tour Yellow. The Nike SB Zoom Janoski “Violent Femmes” releases in fall 2019 – complete details and exclusive images can be found HERE.The band’s 10th studio album, HOTEL LAST RESORT was first heralded earlier this spring with the release of the LP’s plaintive title track, featuring the iconic guitar sound of Television co-founder Tom Verlaine. Rolling Stone hailed “Hotel Last Resort” as a “surreal new song” in its exclusive premiere, writing, “”Throughout the winding cut, Gano unfurls a series of intriguing lyrical vignettes (I don’t change the chords anymore/The chords change themselves; I’ve become invisible because one is not divisible) over droning acoustic strums and Verlaine’s textural lead lines.”
