Noel Gallagher and Russell Brand Get Weird for 'AKA...What a Life' Video

Noel Gallagher's new video for 'AKA...What a Life!' is a real head-trip, to say the least. If you've ever wondered what 'Alice in Wonderland' meets 'Twin Peaks' with a little bit of 'The Odyssey' thrown in would look like if it was set in the wild American West, then this video will be something of a godsend. Yes, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds get pretty out there.

The video starts with a young diner waitress who wanders into the weirdest stagecoach in the world, where she is met by Russell Brand as a sort of Mad Hatter and two beautiful women who are his hit-men-like "nieces." After delivering a quite verbose and patently Russell Brand monologue, he makes his nieces "massage her gently" (not gently at all) before he pours an LSD-like potion down the fair waitress' throat.

Immediately thereafter, Mr. Brand is scared of by a vision of Gallagher, who uses his mind to push the heroine into a pool and pull her out again. This, if you're still able to follow, apparently rescues her from the stagecoach. Finally, the song actually begins and more psychedelic mania ensues. Phew. Check it out below.
