For your viewing pleasure: the new Kanye West video, directed by Spike Jonze. Much like his 1995 vid for Wax’s “Southern California” (reminisce here), Jonze shows his penchant for slow motion and fire. Add a shovel-wielding lingerie model to the equation and you’ve got gold. Ironically, dousing a fur coat with lighter fluid has been deemed the most explicit part of “Flashing Lights,” not that we’re complaining. See for yourself.
Under Cover
Brooklyn’s Mobius Band gave its fans a special treat this Valentine’s Day with the Love Will Reign Supreme EP. It’s all covers, including MB’s version of Daft Punk’s “Digital Love”. Download it free at the band’s site.
Here’s another cover that made its way around the blogs this week.
