The War On Drugs "Brothers"

The new video for "Brothers" from The War on Drugs is like an incredibly short horror film for the ADD generation.  It has all of the key elements: a girl who is not too good on her feet, a creepy guy who toys with said girl, an ominous dark house with no escape and—of course—an ending where we are left with more questions than we had at the start.  We're ready for a sequel!

MANIAMANIA Modern Utopian

You totally have my permission to freak out over the new MANIAMANIA collection.  I'll be right alongside of you wondering when all these pieces will find their ways onto our hands (and arms and neck). X - Jen

Stacey Foster

These decorative arrows by Stacey Foster are crafted out of wood, then hand notched and painted in an array of colors.  They're our latest obsession, partly in thanks to Katniss' badass archery skills from the The Hunger Games.

Maggie Lee Presents Video Syrup

A lot of my friends have been making some rad experimental films and I wanted the world to know. So, I curated a night of shorts called Video Syrup. There will be an array of classic and rare footage. Also, artists Tara Sinn and William Strobeck will premiering new work, huzzah! It's this Tuesday, January 24 at Spectacle Theater (124 S.3rd & Bedford) in NYC. -Maggie Lee

6 Over

6 Over is surely going to be the best new motorcycle film of the year, maybe even the decade, and you have genius photographer Michael Schmidt to thank. Enjoy the teasers and cross your fingers that this comes out as soon as possible! X - Jen

VHS Video Notebook

These VHS Video Notebooks from Mocha might be the best way to keep your thoughts private.  Label it "M.A.S.H. Reruns" and stick it between two old VHS tapes—we guarantee no one will pick it up.

SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS

SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS, a documentary focusing on the final LCD Soundsystem performance, makes us want to cry all over again.  Come back, we miss you.

Taxi Driver by Michel Gondry

Sweding (swē-ding) is the act of re-making something from scratch using whatever you can get your hands on—which is what Michel Gondry did in his version of Taxi Driver—a homage to film director great, Martin Scorcese. - Jennilee

Asher Bradshaw

This little dude can shred!  We can't wait to see this documentary about his life but in the meantime, this video by eDsanca will do.  Watch Asher tear up the infamous skate park on Venice beach.

Style Icon: Amy Blue from The Doom Generation

Foul-mouthed, cynical and totally demented, Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) from The Doom Generation will rip your heart out and eat it with some nachos. It's not just her attitude that will have you swooning, her style is equally awesome. Blue's all black ensemble, cat-eye glasses, and black bob make her one of the coolest chicks in indie film history. But some seriously dirty language and a "Buzz Off!" attitude are required to fully embody the spirit that is Amy Blue. 


Black cat eye sunglasses for driving in the desert...and to disguise yourself from the police.

Tough girls like Amy wear leather moto jackets, it's true!

A black mini-dress will really convey your feelings of doom and gloom.

Black Doc Martens are necessary for stomping out cigarettes and kicking people.

For lips as red as the Devil's soul.

The Poison Hit

Thank Obesity & Speed and Crystal Moselle for giving us the best new film of the year (that you truly wish would never end). X - Jen

Surfing And Sharks

The trailer for the documentary Surfing and Sharks is pretty intense.  Just the thought of sharks in the ocean makes us never want to go in again.  We're not sure if we love anything enough that we would risk getting bitten by a shark to do it, but then again, we would give an arm and a leg to date Leonardo DiCaprio.

What Would Veronica and JD Want?

Veronica Sawyer and Jason Dean (JD) from the cult classic Heathers are your typical high school couple.  They get slushies, play strip croquet and kill the most popular kids at school on the weekends. We know, we know. That doesn't seem normal. But they completely deserved it!  With friends like Heather Chandler, Heather Duke and Heather McNamara, who needs enemies?  So, if Veronica and JD inherit five million dollars the same day aliens land on the earth and say they're going to blow it up in two days, we think this is how they would spend it.


Veronica would definitely appreciate this notebook; we can just hear her reading the cover in her most sarcastic tone.  Plus, she needs something to draft her future suicide notes in.

They could use a new coffee mug for JDs infamous "wake-up cup full of liquid drainer."  Plus, Veronica can tell a Heather how beautiful she is again without even having to say it.

It may be a little flashy, but we think Veronica would enjoy this '80s sequin blazer.  We're just not sure if she would wear it to prom or to hell.

In a land of swatch dogs and Diet Coke-heads, JD is a complete outsider—especially in fashion.  Since the bomb blew up his last coat, we think he'd like this leather jacket as a replacement.  It's no trench, but it's definitely big enough to keep a gun in (one that only shoots blanks, of course).


With cool guys like JD out of her life, Veronica's the new sheriff in town.  We just think she might like to reminisce about all the good times they had with these Stackable Initial Rings.  (Well, we would anyway. JD may have been a mass-murderer but he was still a mega-babe. RIP!)

TimeScapes

Will someone please pre-order us TimeScapes?  Tom Lowe's footage from the American Southwest is seriously blowing our minds and we really want to see more!

Gauntlet Hair "Top Bunk"

Gauntlet Hair has released their new video for "Top Bunk," and let us just say that Arnold is back! The band collects old Schwarzenegger movies on VHS, so we imagine this video is something like a tribute to the hours of laughs the tapes have provided them.  (via Dead Oceans)

Girl & Chocolate

It's the moment that you and I have been waiting for: the next skate video (dare I say, film?) from the Crailtap family titled simply Girl & Chocolate. They've been making my favorite skate movies for a while now, not just because of the skaters but also because Spike Jonze usually has a hand in making them. This one's set for a 2012 release, I can't wait. Oh, and incase you were wondering the song is: "Without You" by Rainbow Arabia. -Bob

What Would Cher and Dionne Want?

Cher Horowitz and Dionne Davenport are like, totally the most popular girls at Bronson Alcott High School.  Whether they're dishing on dudes or making over one of their clueless friends, they are always the best dressed people in the room (unless Christian is around, of course).  Here's what we think these BFFs would be asking for this holiday, aside from Luke Perry and Murray with hair.




plaid skirt, thigh-highs, and a white collared shirt are school essentials, because having the right outfit is just as important as getting good grades.

Showing up to class looking like they just rolled out of bed? As if!  Here are some headbands that will give them that preppy put-together look and keep their hair out of their eyes while they're debating.

Where would Cher be without her signature skin-tight dress?  And yes Mel, they ARE dresses.  We think she would be butt-crazy in love with this Rodebjer Mira Tank Dress!

Bright red lipstick for Dionne is a must. Being popular means always being prepared, even if you're just making a cameo at a Val party.

For their next non-school book of the week, we think they'd enjoy flipping through 100 Ideas That Changed Fashion to help them with their makeovers of the ensembly challenged.

Finally, the Mystic Predict-a-Pen, for the answers to all of those deep philosophical questions Cher asks herself. (Did my hair get flat? Did I stumble into some bad lighting? What's wrong with me?)

Cool World "Donuts By The Water (Before I Die)"

Filmaker and UO employee Scott Ross and Philadelphia artist Alex Da Corte are taking hoola hooping to the next level with their video for Cool World's "Donuts By The Water (Before I Die)."  Partiers be warned: you may start having flashbacks.
