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

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
this seems to be the official one – but looks like some “monkey ai business” was involved (?) did theu redo this?
another version – 993 remix and remastered track on top of the earlier video.
saw a documentary on him the other night, and i was thinking how funny that as a young boy, it never occurred to me that freddie mercury was gay. i mean the band’s name, his elaborate outfits, etc. were all obvious cues… the fans, as with most rock bands, were quite manly and it’s funny to imagine the dilemmas he had to go through in his performances. in any case, he was a genius and as cheesy as this pop song may sound i have to say when i heard it and saw the video (for the first time last night) i kinda liked it. there is something terribly sad and beautiful about freddie mercury. by dd
ok it’s disco week at tomorrow started…. here’s another one from the same era but remade by glass candy. funny enough, this song was originally written by a french band during the disco era that scored just a few hits before fading into history. the lyrics are funny especially the intro, when done with a french accent. by dd
funny enough, chances are they were wearing original YSL suits, and they were simply regurgitated by mister stefano pilati. cute. by dd

auburn and ivory, a mesmerizing track by them, saw them while on tour with cat power and that was an experience for sure. cat of course as we’ve mentioned, in our humble opinion, is the artist of the decade. by xy
