a visual collective outlet of inspiration
pick a year any year, the man is just gorgeous! i was watching some of his early clips and was thinking why did he fix his teeth? or eyes or anything for that matter. i hate this homogeneous world we live in today… nothing of interest… by dd
music
first and last and always: when goth was in order
nine while nine by sisters of mercy. still a good track and good lyrics for the time. i saw that we had posted this other track by sisters of mercy a while back too, which was rerecorded and covered by nouvelle vague. by dd
will shine tonight
if you are extremely gentle, charming and soft spoken you may want to peek in. now don’t flood the gates, this could be a private invite, but since no one comes here i thought it’ll do no harm. hope that’s o.k. mark. I’ll be there. by dd
director nicholas mendez on pasolini
ok don’t kill me for the 16 image post but im obsessing over nicholas mendez film. it’s like a cliff notes on pasolini and may i say it’s more successfully disturbing than the film itself because of its very sporadic, short clips. not sure i’ve seen another music video as effectively lingering as this. like to meet nicholas for a coffee one day and i’m sure ill be visiting pasolini on the screen again soon. by dd
famous guns – elvis presley’s doctor’s gun
damn you pp you beat me to it posting that elvis gun, i had grabbed this a while back but was waiting to post and you beat me to it. that said i must admit that presley’s doctor had better taste than elvis himself. no idea who the hell he was, but the dude killed the king in style, not like that lame ass michael jacksons doc. that’s fo’ sure… by xy
Pier Paolo Pasolini and the scissor sisters: invisible light
pet shop boys? frankie goes to hollywood? relax… it’s the scissor sisters. not a fan of the band nor the song but the video references to pasolini & bunuel are awesome and unexpected for such a pop video. some nice moments and a nice enough girl mireia contreras. produced by canada, director nicholas mendez. by dd

janelle monae: funky town tight rope
was flipping through videos today and came across this little funkstress’s tightrope video. first off its refreshing to see a “no tits-and-ass” in a R&B/funk/soul/hip hop music video. the retro references of motown, james brown, and street music of the 60’s are just lovely and well done, not to mention that our girl happens to float like a butterfly. the beat and her moves remind me of andre benjamin (andre 3000), one of the coolest brothers in the business. i was sure his hand was involved in this but sad to find out that it was p.diddy who signed her. at least they got big boi on there. well done beautiful girl. by m+m
