Don’t know too much about this video, but I love watching things getting smashed and exploding in slow motion.

Dog Days Are Over

Tags: music, music video
Great video for Florence and the Machine’s Dog Days Are Over directed by Legs. I mentioned Legs video for “ I Wanna Be Your Dog” a few weeks back that was a subversive take on the casting process but this video seems to be inspired by drag queens.

To Live and Die for Bacon

So many people I know are obsessed about Bacon. It seems to have an addictive quality that makes people love it !

I found this excellent vintage book cover from one of my favorite inspiration sites and it made me think about my friends ♥ for bacon . The book was designed for the Danish Bacon Factories Export Association and probably dates from the late fifties to early sixties.

Tags: electro, Inspiration, music video, video
I am loving the work of Radical Friend. Their new video for Yeasayer’s track One is an 80s new wave meets 90s rave with a touch of 70s Pink Floyd. Check out the Dark Bubbles video and read more about them at the Spy Films blog.
Lady Gaga feat Beyonce “Telephone” Video

Tags: music, music video, video
This video is channeling Russ Myer, Windy O’ Williams in Reform School Girls, Natural Born Killers, and finally Thelma and Louise. What am I missing? See if you can find Gaga as her brunette self in the video. I must say, it’s pretty damn fun to watch!

Hyper, 2007
I love these photos from French photographer Denis Darzacq. I’ve seen suspended motion photographs many times before but what makes these stand out is the supermarket and it’s vibrant color as a backdrop.
