What starts as a dark taste of the underground turns into something beyond when our fair maiden descends to leak some gold through a sewer grate. (And yes, that's kind of a fancy way to put what happens there... but, it's a lot more magical than whatever golden shower you might imagine).
There's not usually a fine line between reality and fantasy in a music video. If anything, most music videos are highly distanced from reality — unless you care to pretend that even the most mid-level artist can like like Hugh Hefner. But things are quite blurry for the lonely woman in this new Arctic Monkeys video, who finds that she's not just passively watching her favorite band on TV, but actually communicating and connecting with them as if they are actually right there with her.
PS: I'd be willing to bet that more people would be into this than 3D TV.
Where part one of this ongoing trilogy was all snowy coldness, part two burns with eroticism. (And if you're one to look out/for this kind of thing, there's also nudity. So, consider it NSFW). [SG]
Katy Perry told me to watch this — ok, fine, I read her tweet about it — and she's onto something. Originally released back in December, this Elliphant video highlights some gorgous Icelandic landscapes, the lovely singer herself and two other ladies, a randy dog, some horses and perfectly askew filmic POV.
