Volkan Ergen makes creepy & beautiful videos.  Just give yourself a moment to stop what you are doing…or several moments.

Collaboration between Wonderland Magazine, Dior Homme & Verso Films.  By Jose Otero & Hans Lo.

The Hoof & The Heel are an unsigned Canadian band that made a pretty music video. Directed by Bryan Schlam.  

My faith of storytelling in a music video is restored…

Ryan Gosling & Zach Shields are featured in this behind-the-scenes look into their band Dead Man’s Bones tour from last fall.

There is rehearsal footage of the starry-eyed St. Peter’s Children’s Choir, a talent/freak show with contortionists and an audition called “poop opera.”

59 Productions is creating the live show for Jónsi’s 2010 tour which will be a cross between film, art installation, theatre performance & live gig.

These New Puritans are a band that thrive on being misunderstood. Their 2008 debut Beat Pyramid was an album that claimed influence from, among other things, 16th century numerology, the apocalypse as ultimate artistic event, water, mirrors, magick realism, Russell Hoban’s Riddley Walker and circles. Pretentious? It didn’t matter.

Having come across them a few years ago from watching a Dior Homme fashion show, they were the unheard and only known as Hedi Slimane’s supergroup.  But now, I guess I can’t keep quiet anymore, so enjoy their new video.

For those who fell in love with Sigur Rós’ “Heima” a few years ago, here is something to steal your eyes for a few moments.

“The concept behind ‘go quiet’ was simple: it’s new year’s day in Reykjavík, and Jónsi awakens to a trashed house in the wake of his party. He avoids cleaning up and instead procrastinates by playing songs that reflect the night before, the bittersweetness of new year, and the melancholy of a year gone by.” – Director Dean Deblois.

Lovely duo Jason Schwartzman & Kirsten Dunst star in Gia Coppola and Tracy Antonopoulos’ Non Plus One, a short film featuring fashion label Opening Ceremony’s spring line & score by Coconut Records’ “Is This Sound Okay?”from last year’s Davy.

It’s like a mixture of French New Wave and Los Angeles kitsch exported into six minutes.

The small press superstars at Nieves just released a beautiful zine comprised of images from Spike’s new short film, I’m Here. Cinematographer Adam Kimmel’s gorgeous grain and seductively smoky light take center stage here, in a selection of stills that underline the exceptionally organic vibe of this subtle sci-fi tale.

Amazing hitRECord piece.
