old smut and folk songs
What happens when you combine a graphic designer slash musician, a self-deprecating film buff, a modern dancer and a mid-19th century French poet?
Why, a trippy avant-garde music video of course! old smut and folk songs is a project my friends Stephen and Nathan put together seasons ago using found footage, visual effects, a video of me improvising in the forest, and a song Nathan wrote using a sample of Stephen reciting Baudelaire as his old answering machine message. I had never seen the final product until today when Stephen surprised me with a link in my inbox.
It’s 3 and a half minutes, it’s kind of sad, and it’s pretty in a way that really makes me wish I still got stoned. Enjoy!
why do you let me stay here?
Listen to She & Him – Why Do You Let Me Stay Here while reading to get the most out of this very Zooey Deschanel-inspired outfit.
Sometimes Zooey’s mass appeal, indie girl brand of cute is vomit-enducing, but the truth is she’s got a pretty voice and she makes lovable movies. (Impromptu dance sequence?!!! Dare you to resist.) Although I do believe her best work to date is her impeccable delivery of the line “THIS IS A HOUSE OF LIES!” in a certain best-movie-of-all-time.
