Adanowsky Has Surreal Orgasm with Stoya In New Music Video
Adan Jodorowsky - AKA Adanowsky - (son of cult filmmaker and artist Alejandro Jodorowsky) stars and directs in his new music video, alongside pornstar Stoya, for the track Would You Be Mine. In a bedlam of forrest and jungle animals and two geishas, Jodorowsky and Stoya embrace in multiple, sometimes sacrilegious (if you count sodomy with a crucifix sacrilegious), positions until the pornstar comes to a climax in beautiful liquid form. Oh, and then they fly away together. Watch the video above - we won't judge you if you need to be alone.

“We dressed up as Princess Toadstool and ran through LA in search of a Castle. Costumes were created by Jessica Owen and Vanessa Gonzalez, our guitar player and keyboardist who also happen to be costume designers. Running around in a group of princesses was extremely fun and I hope to have the opportunity again some day.”

Young Fathers Premier Music Video for 'Shame' Off New Album
Edinburgh based Young Fathers, who last year won the Mercy Prize for their album Dead, premier a new music video for the track 'Shame' off their new album - entitled White Men Are Black Men Too (Big Dada). The video was brilliantly directed by Jeremy Cole, who remarks that it "...reflects the dichotomy of the track’s mix of intensity with joy and euphoria." The band has a grander statement about the video and about the Post Pop genre as a whole:
"What. Now? Can’t we just leave it to moulder away in the corner? Do we have to keep prodding it with a stick? Frankensteining it? Remember the melodious sweet times, the soundtracks to the moments, the whistling and skipping along, the arm in arm, girls together against the world, the boys trash it up, smash it up, school leaving day, first day at the desk-face, did we just make a baby groovy times? It died, didn’t it? Just passed slowly away. In its sleep. We’re feeling mischievous, though. Wanna mess it up. One more time for daddy. One more dance around the maypole. Do the zombie twist. For the memories. No shame. Squeezing the last few drops before it’s over-analysed into the very computer screen, a shadow burn of an ecstatic smile. Just another product. This, is just another product and that’s the way you should take it. There’s no shame in that."
