Here's Bob's take on the video: "Doug Martsch and I have been friends for a few years now. The first time I saw BTS was in Paris, opening for the foo fighters. I liked 'em then, but man they've gotten better and better with each album. When Doug asked me if I'd shoot a vid for them I jumped at the chance. The song, "Hindsight" from their latest album is a beauty. Sweet, sad, cool...another really affecting song from one of the best songwriters alive. Doug is a very humble guy, so he's going to hate that I said that about him...but listen to this song! I had the concept of a dance party (in the future) listening to Built To Spill (from now) play the song as a hologram band. So, these oldsters listening are YOU in about 40 years. Hope that's encouraging. We assembled some real dancers, thanks to great help from Brant and Hannah at Warner Brothers! They were game for anything and brought all their skills...check out those spins! Doug and the Band played the song many multiple times at varying speeds. Our lead male dancer, the lonely guy who conjures up a girl from his past to dance with, is a gentleman named GENE DEWALD. Gene is 85 f'ing years old, and he'd be REAL MAD at me for swearing just then, as he is a gentleman. The guy is in incredible shape and a great dancer. The girl from his past who dances with him was the wonderful and extremely generous--. Thank you.... Al Levine edited it. Fantastic job, Al. And the Memorator is the remote control that operates the ceiling fan in my bedroom. Thanks Doug and everyone for letting me make this bit of magic as a backdrop to this beautiful song. I hope you like it."
