Son Lux: We love electronic band Son Lux and their new music video for ‘You Don’t Know Me’, created by The Made Shop and directed by Nathan Johnson. From Son Lux’s fourth album, ‘Bones’, which is out now through Glassnote Records, this awesome vid stars Tatiana Maslany, the fantastic actress who plays at least seven different roles to perfection in the cult clone series ‘Orphan Black‘. Check it out 🙂
Apple: We loved stumbling across this retro-futuristic concept video created by Apple in 1987, where they imagine what the the future in 1997 will look like. It’s an awesome flashback that’s full of things that would of then seemed innovative, such as video glasses or web connected homes and pretty funny when you compare it to where Apple and technology in general is today. Gold! 🙂
Freaky Flowers: A beautiful time-lapse video by photographer Greg Krehel, ‘Freaky Flowers’ compares the flowering of cactus from the Echinopsis family, with some real natural fireworks. So amazing – Happy Friday, everyone! 🙂
Dream Koala: Created by Les Gentils Garçons and directed by FABULOUS 3D (Adrien Peze and Albin Merle), ‘Earth’ is the beautiful new music video from French musician Dream Koala off the EP, ‘Earth. Home. Destroyed.’. Set in an apocalyptic ‘end of the world’ landscape, ‘Earth’ leads us into a mesmerising, dreamlike, and slightly haunting space opera. Check it out below – awesome track and video! LOVE
The Wizard of Oz and Age of Ultron Mashup: We LOVE this short video by Australian visual effects artist Darren Wallace, who has put together this awesome The Wizard of Oz and Age of Ultron Mashup. It’s a must-watch – so clever!
Hoverboard: If you are anything like us, you have been patiently waiting for this legendary flying skateboard since you first saw ‘Back to the Future II’ many moons ago. Well, peeps, the wait might be over as it seems via the Lexus SLIDE project, Japanese designer Haruhiko Tanahashi has created the first real hoverboard. However…although what we see on the Lexus website is beautiful, and apparently usable, we can’t get too ahead of ourselves – this prototype currently uses superconductivity via magnets and liquid nitrogen in order to fly above a metal plate 🙁 So don’t expect to be flying around the streets hooked to the back of a futuristic car just yet…but we’re getting there! YES, YES, YES!!!
Strokemon: There are times in life when even WTF is not enough! Presenting ‘Strokemon’, a terrifying porn parody of ‘Pokemon‘ created by the Woodrocket studio who specialise in adult parodies of cult series and movies. This will definitely add some fuel to your nightmares for the next 10 years…and then some. Can’t. Even.
LINDEMANN: ‘Praise Abort’ is the first video from LINDEMANN’s (a collaboration from Rammstein’s Till Lindemann and Pain’s Peter Tägtgren) upcoming debut album Skills In Pills.
Directed by Zoran Bihac the clip features Tägtgren and Lindemann as anthropomorphised swine and is layered in subtext, check it out below.
Albums like this don’t come along often: violent, visceral and courageous, Skills In Pills is a listening experience like no other. The final revelation is that this album was never meant to happen: it was only ever supposed to be a throwaway collaboration between two friends. As Tägtgren explains: “This is the result of a year of fucking around with sounds! We had no idea that we’d go as far as releasing an entire album, but this thing has just got bigger and bigger.”
The twisted product of two uniquely creative minds, Skills In Pills is your new medicine. Take it now.
The New International Sound Pt. II: Produced by Bromance Records and directed by Inigo Westmeier, the official music video for ‘The New International Sound Pt. II’ by GENER8ION + M.I.A. features 36,000 students of Shaolin Tagou, the biggest fighting school for kids in China. WOW, this vid is epic and will have you totally mesmerised! Check it out.
Freddy Krueger: Ready to kick it old school? We’re heading back to 1988 to hang with The Fat Boys for their rap single “Are You Ready For Freddy”, which was released as the theme for A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. The video opens with the hip hop group meeting a lawyer, outside of an slightly haunted and suspicious looking house, who informs them that in order to receive Uncle Frederick’s (see what was done there?) estate, they must stay the night in the house. Once they enter, all hell breaks loose, with the scares set to the freshest of beats. The best part is definitely Robert Englund appearing as Freddy Krueger who even provides his own raps. It’s lame, it’s awful, but it’s so damn good! Happy Friday, peeps! 🙂
