Lou Barlow<\/a> unwittingly walks right past the Get Up Kids\u2019 frontman, Matt Pyror, in the video for the Kids\u2019 new song called, ahem, \u201cLou Barlow.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the clip, Barlow \u2014 who fronts Sebadoh, plays bass in Dinosaur Jr., and records as a solo artist \u2014 ends up paying the price for not noticing Pryor when he does everything he can to get into the Get Up Kids\u2019 concert, right down to presenting the club\u2019s door man with a copy of the Kids\u2019 new LP, Problems<\/em> (due out Friday). He points at the song \u201cLou Barlow\u201d on the back cover and shows the bouncer his driver\u2019s license to prove who he is, but has no luck getting into the club.<\/p>\n

The song opens with Pryor singing about how he had once spotted Barlow walking down the street and so badly wanted to be noticed that he started humming Barlow\u2019s songs, \u201cbut he refused to sing along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyrically, though, the rest of the song is more about how people change and grow apart than about Barlow in particular \u2014 and Pryor\u2019s lines like \u201cWe\u2019re not where we belong\u201d fit the Get Up Kids\u2019 chunky punk guitars and new-wave synths better than his ones about stalking rock stars. That said, the fact that the band got Lou Barlow in the flesh for the video makes the whole thing that much better.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe kept joking how hilarious it would be if we could get Lou Barlow to be in the video for \u2018Lou Barlow,’\u201d Pryor said in a statement. \u201cIt was absolute luck that we both happened to be in New York on the same day. When he agreed, we were thrilled. When we saw how much he put into the video, we were floored. He was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

For his part, Barlow\u2019s official statement is to the point: \u201cI acted the shit out of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Get Up Kids will be hitting the road<\/a> starting this week on Problems\u2019 <\/em>release day, with U.S. dates planned through mid December. They will be hitting more U.S. cities next year in February and March.<\/p>\n

Barlow, meanwhile, will be playing U.S. dates with Dinosaur Jr.<\/a> through the end of the month.<\/p>\n
