Watch It

Jose Gonzalez "Leaf Off / The Cave" (Mikel Cee Karlsson, dir.)

It may seem like that olde time religion, by Jose Gonzalez is repping for Sunday Assembly, a "non-religious community that meet regularly to celebrate life" founded by two comedians in car (note: neither coffee, nor Jerry Seinfeld was involved).

While it's not religion, per se, we do get to witness little moments of transcendence and realization in portraiture moments as Jose performs and SA co-founder Sanderson Jones whips up the not-congregation.

Body Count "Institutionalized" (Frankie Nasso, dir.)

Ice-T doing the Suicidal Tendencies classic "Institutianlized" is beyond genius, but be forewarned that his royal Iceness has rewritten the lyrics to something more appropriate to his own life. Instead of raging against his parents in a quest for freedom and Pepsi, he's yelling at targets like his wife, customer service and an annoying vegetarian. And it works, perfectly.

Former Music Video Exec Sam Aslanian Announces New Photo Exhibit

Former DNA executive producer Sam Aslanian has announced his latest photography exhibition, Looking South, an artistic exploration of forgotten places in the Southern U.S.

Sam Aslanian, photographer: "n the late spring of 2014 I took a photographic journey through the back roads and the byways of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. These photos are as my cameras see the South — timeless, silent, still... untouched by the clamor and commotion of our lives."

Ariel Pink "Dayzed Inn Daydreams" (Grant Singer, dir.)

Punk rockers probably shouldn't age gracefully, but such is (debatably) the case with Mau Maus singer Rick Wilder in this portrait of the anarchist as a very old man for Ariel Pink. Wilder still looks the part — think Johnny Rotten, but older and skinnier — and still clings to his punk dreams, but his days are mostly spent just scraping by and surviving.
