the smiths – this charming man

i was never the biggest fan of the smiths (sometimes remind me of kate bush…) but i have to say i love the fact they used this photo of jean marais by jean cocteau without permission… even if the damn thing was taken out of circulation really quick and replaced with something else… and about the original artwork, well… it’s very the smiths 😉 by pp + ps

social distortion: short film premiere

so cal rock and roll veterans social distortion recently released a music video for the song “machine gun blues” from their new album “hard times and nursery rhymes“. this isn’t just a music video, it is a short film based on a fictional bank robbery in la circa 1934. i think it’s great to see such a core band putting themselves out there by making more than just your ordinary watch-the-band-play music video. it’s a nice production that tells a story.   by jr

NIKE BE FREE: BY barnaby roper & tristen bechet



here is another one by the dynamic duo barnaby roper and tristen bechet (services),  for nike. this, to our understanding, was one of the very first times the duo worked together. the film was commissioned by nike and creative directed and produced through the new york agency ceft and company. it made the top 10 list at number 3 on “fashion film network top 10 fashion films” losing the top-spot to non other than our very favorite lady…. gaga’s: “born this way” filmed by nick knight. the photographs associated to the film were taken by french art photographers denis darzacq. the best part is that the entire series were presented as 2 ipad apps allowing interactive features. keeping an eye out for barnaby’s next great thing. by xy

jammin’ with sam the sham

a little egyptian touch from sam the sham and the pharaohs. the lyrics were so hard to understand that some radio stations banned the song. that’s the attitude, if you don’t understand something, ban it… just in case! by bn
