The music video for Sonic Youth' "Death Valley 69" was directed by Richard Kern back in 1986. He made short films for two years at this point, so he was relatively new to the movie industry, although those were 2 pretty prolific years. If you have seen some of his other works, you may recognize his touch in here. There is some obscenity, some violence, some blood, some knife action and also some concert footage.
The song did not appeal to me at all and the video quality was pretty horrible too. It doesn't look 1986 at all. It's obviously on purpose to make the piece look raw and artistic, but it doesn't do anything for me. Not recommended and I suggest you only take a look if you like Kern's other work.
