Two music videos are better than one

When the vocals kick in at the start, you somehow have no idea where the song is going. Then the drums come in, the beat picks up, and suddenly it makes sense. KAZU's Come Behind Me, So Good! is an appropriate track to accompany a pharmacological nightcap. But even if you don't care for the actual song, the music video is a visual feast, taking advantage of several recent breakthroughs in technology.

The behind-the-scenes processes that went into making this video are just as fascinating as its visuals, so director Daito Manabe shared a breakdown of the techniques they used in choreography, CGI, and photogrammetry, which reconstructs 3D data from 2D still images taken from multiple angles.

Kazu Makino, the iconic voice of the shoegaze/dream pop group Blonde Redhead, released the first version of her video for Come Behind Me, So Good! on September 12, 2019. It was shot in Italy by the award-winning director Eva Michon and features the songstress dancing inside a small church.

Which one do you think is better?

Taika Waititi's latest film is called Jojo Rabbit , a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis) who just so happens to have an imaginary friend in the form of Adolf Hitler (Waititi).

If you're into vintage erotic art, follow Cold Meat

It's not just the pictures of celebrities in skimpy outfits that makes Instagram interesting. But if those are the only people you follow, then you are missing out. The social media platform is full of some of the most talented artists of the moment, but one account that truly caught my eye is cold___meat , which is dedicated to vintage pictures of BDSM art and erotica. The account has been cancelled several times, but it's alive and kicking and is showing no sign of slowing down. Dazed recently interviewed Daryl, the mysterious founder of Cold Meat, to learn more about his background, his fear of another shutdown, and his mission to make "formerly clandestine and underground erotica available to a wider audience."

Funding the Funky

Look, let's be honest. For some folks, an art gallery is a source of awe and inspiration. For others, it's just an intimidating room full of stuff. Both descriptions are totally right. The viewer changes, not the canvas. It's a Rorschach test of culture—you can feel pure joy or just a massive yawn standing in front of the exact same piece. The main thing to keep in mind is that galleries are all over the place in terms of style and size. Some focus entirely on contemporary art, while others dig into historical pieces. You'll even find galleries that zero in on specific things like sculpture or photography. Take, for example, this small art space in Imus, which showcases the work of local artists and low-brow art from the next generation of pop surrealists. Think dream-like, bizarre images mixed right up with stuff like cartoons, comics, and movies. The results? Sometimes they're fun; sometimes they hit you with a darker or more sarcastic vibe.
