Jared Leto certainly dreams big when it comes to his band 30 Seconds To Mars and the music videos he makes under the guise of Bartholomew Cubbins. "Hurricane" is meant to be the magnum opus, an ambitious 13 minute excursion into sex and violence that sometimes plays like an action flick and other times like an art film. Purposefully provocative, Leto/Cubbins lets the images pile up: Religous leaders burning books, flag-draped coffins, s&m eroticism, bondage, fight scenes, rampaging gimps and so much more. It's all a bit of an enigma, complete with keys and locks, clearly made for the die-hard 30STM fans to rewatch and find the meaning to it all.
Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson passed away last week. Although best known as a member of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, Sleazy also directed an impressive array of music videos.
Director Tim Nackashi combines old-school and new-school trippery in this beachy video. Faded and scratchy footage that seems like a sunburnt artifact from the '60s gets blended with datamoshed hallucinations as Theophilus London wanders down the Malibu shore, to meet up with a ladyfriend who looks like just another figment of his imagination.
