Messer Chups “Bikini Rama” 2012
Who else could pull off a garage-surf anthem that sounds like a lost 1960s exploitation film soundtrack?

This BAD video has everything! Joe and Paul (The Clash) play the old fashioned cops, a futuristic DeLorean, 80s fashion girls, even JRotten gets a scene. A chaotic contrast of the past/future, a modern blend of sounds. 41 years later and the entire album is still so unique.
1985: Big Audio Dynamite drops “Medicine Show”
Mick Jones + Don Letts creating something completely unique. Ahead of its time then, still unmatched now.

Ever heard the new-wave version of this Dusty Springfield classic ?
The Tourists’ 1979 cover of “I Only Want to Be with You,” with a pre-Eurythmics Annie Lennox and a very slick-looking Dave Stewart.

It's origins may be in the Celtic harvest festival of Samhain, with its traditions being Americanised and then commercialised over the years: Trick or Treat, Jack O' Lanterns, slightly flat parties with people covered in toilet tissue claiming to be a mummy, etc...

One of my favorite sets I got to decorate as a set dresser. Shot at the Sepulveda VA Medical Center in North Hills, California. Any guesses what this is from ?

Can we talk about how this video looks like it was financed with a handful of loose change, a roll of duct tape, and a dream shot on a heavily discounted soundstage ?

1927. Almost a century before AI, Fritz Lang showed a machine being given a human face, and the world falling for it. Metropolis wasn't science fiction. It was a warning we watched in black and white.
