I don't know why all the structures and furniture in Valley Lodge frontman Dave Hill's apartment are actually naked, studly men, arranged very strategically (both to resemble recliners and couches, and to conceal their junk). Maybe he's feeling insecure about he stacks up to all the other men who have wooed the pretty woman who has stolen his heart. Whatever it is, I just hope he realizes that he should twice before he jiggles that light switch. Directed by the duo Dave & Rory, based upon the "naked human furniture" work by artist David Blazquez.
