Video: Dam-Funk "I Don't Wanna Be A Star" + New Tour Dates

Dam-Funk does not, apparently, want to be a star. In which I'm thinking maybe he should stop making music as good as this jam "I Don't Wanna Be A Star" (?) I don't know just a thought. Otherwise, though, he has made his intentions clear in this new video, doing a symbolic drive-by on Hollywood and throwing up a big funk "U" sign to the whole dang star-SYSTEM. If he's failing at being a not-star, he has definitely reached his own self-defined goal which is to be "something else." Dam is on tour with Ariel Pink for September-October, hit the jump for full dates and catch a shooting something else at a fine musical venue near you.
