Shia LaBeouf directed the music video for his friend Cage’s new song, “I Never Knew You,” and was nice enough to make a cameo. Thanks, pal. Where are the robots?
Hmm. That was not very good. Actually, Shia LaBeouf’s weird non-sequitur dialog about post-break up dog ownership was probably the best part of that whole video. My apologies to him for implying that inserting himself into his directorial debut was kind of self-serving, especially since it overshadows his much lesser-well-known friend’s work. Also, if you are such good friends with him, Shia, you should tell him to stop doing that stuff with his face and his voice where it looks and sounds like he’s making fun of me for even listening to him. Friends don’t let friends make that face and voice.
Hey Cage,
“My finger aching for your doorbell like a random blog”?
Whoops, you wrote that.
Love,
Lindsay Robertson.

You know, it’s not often that I watch something and go, “Boy, I wish there was some Transfomer dialogue here.” I watched this and wished there was some Transformer dialogue there.
Ha. I used to work in that building on west 26th street.
Since I have nothing of real import, I’d like to offer a challenge. Name one thing you like about this video.
For example: I like Cage’s shirt. It looks very comfortable. If I had that shirt, I would probably wear it just when I was hanging around the apartment. But even if I got an invitation to go hang out with people at a club or someplace public, I wouldn’t feel it necessary to change. That’s how nice that shirt is.
I like rain clouds, especially when featured in not-cartoons. I mean, that’s ballsy.
I also found the chorus pretty catchy. No need to get up–I’ll let myself out.
The chorus WAS kinda catchy.
I kinda like his face, when he’s not trying to make his eyes explode, or whatever that is.
So shoot me.
Cage made a decent song once that sampled the theme from “Clockwork Orange.” That was at least ten years ago.
I do like his peacoat.
I’m totally into the lead singer’s(?) refusal to blink. That’s commitment and I can respect that.
I like seeing Aliens in America guy in something other than Heroes.
The golden guitar is pretty, even if it was making some pretty angry noises.
Can’t sing. Can’t write. The arrangement was nice, I guess. Good thing you have famous friends, Cage. Well…good for you, not so good the world.
One of my rules of thumb for bad music is if they rhyme “home” with “alone.”
Oh and also if they’re friends with Shia LeBeouf.
So this is what happens when white trash move to NYC with “the band”
Miserable.
Wait…. is this an homage to “Lose Yourself”?
Joaquin Phoenix is like, “Fuck, these little motherfuckers got some hot fucking shit, dog!”
Full Disclosure: designated “abandoned dog” as an indispensable tail rhyme for “random blog”.
Perhaps some double whoops may be in order?
Cage… That is all.
This guy’s ripping off Why?
“People said his brain was infected by devils….”
while i watched cage perform at SxSW, i thought, “jeez, zac efron has fallen on hard times.”
Look if he’s gonna rap, he should rap. If he’s gonna sing, he should sing. He can’t half-ass it like this.
And his face every time he says “solely for MEEE!” is the super-mega-douchiest thing ever invented.
Creepy. Is this song about stalking a girl and then raping her to death? ‘Cause that’s what it sounded like.
the first rule of cage video is you don’t talk about cage video.
That was a song?
Pro Tip: watch this on mute.
makes it that much more bizarre…. silent writhing is hilarious.
this song makes me wish ANYTHING else was playing…. it’s just awful.
I am a sometimes a fan of the non-singing/rapping-spoken-voice-about-whats-currently-happening style ( see the streets-dry your eyes mate for a successful example)
but this, this is sorta ruined by the lyrics/his voice/his face
Is this…art?
I kept waiting for the guitars to chime in. This “song” is all intro, with a singer having trouble not flapping his lips when he sings. Boo. Shia is a fucking HARD man, because he rolls with a guy with tattooed knuckles, whoa!
Is the new aesthetic for videos to make the star look ridiculous? If so, well done, Shia.
wait a minute…so the girl is glowing and sparkly until she gets touched by a man and then she’s in front of the audience and everyone’s applauding her because she’s not glowing anymore? or because she made Cage stop talking?

I don’t understand.
Best thing about the video is that i find Cage’s weird faces/comfortable shirt to be quite attractive. I always liked his creepy song about having sex with his comatose girlfriend(?), Ballad of Worms. The video was pretty awful, a cloud following him around, really Shia? That random blog line, really Cage? sigh
yes, this “song”, “flow”, “lyrical wordplay” is in fact, art, as is the video. I can hear the collective WHOOSH over the heads of those who can’t see this. What, you’ve never loved someone enough to kill them? If not, I feel bad for you.
Anyway. WHARGHARBL. Good luck releasing your own albums you talentless hacks. har har.
