Dumbass "So many people think they can improve the situation or collaborate. I think that's very wishful thinking in this political structure. It makes people not very conscious of what's happening," he said

Vincent Belorgey, known as Kavinsky (or KΔVINϟKY) is a producer who is fixated with a stylized version of 1986, from his first single and video,
Testarossa Autodrive, to his
new (and first) album,
Outrun (Grooveshark stream). If that's not enough of retro neon French electro-house, you can
stream his other four singles/EPs on Bandcamp, and see the videos for
Dead Cruiser (animated sequel to Testarossa Autodrive),
ProtoVision (live-action sequel to Dead Cruiser),
Nightcall (as heard on the Drive soundtrack, and
seen in the international version of the trailer).

Welcome to
mcbess, a land of
odd illustrations in black and white*, something of a
dark and dingy take on Merry Melodies, where
the men are bearded, and
the ladies are toothy, busty (and often topless, in a vaguely NSFW cartoony way). There are also some
large-scale illustrations with all those elements, and more. Matthieu Bessudo, aka mcbess, is also in a band,
The Dead Pirates, and his art and music met with the video
Wood (Vimeo;
also on YouTube; more info
here).

Mina Caputo began her career as Keith Caputo, founder of the heavy metal band
Life of Agony. In the early 1990s the band became huge in Europe, and the teenage Caputo found herself trapped in the life of a macho metal superstar when what she really wanted was to be a nice young lady attending Julliard. She performed as Keith for over 20 years, then in 2010
Niko Bikialo's quietly devastating music video for Caputo's song
Got Monsters [brief nudity] put the viewer inside the mind of a
transwoman as she struggles to find her place in the world and make a friend of the stranger she sees in the mirror. A year later, Caputo shocked metal fans when
she officially announced she was transitioning.

It has been 30 years since it was first recorded, and almost that long since it was released as a
single and a
extra-long music video (alt. link:
YT), but
Thriller has remained at the top of lists for
best Halloween songs (
2,
3,
4,
5) and
best Halloween videos (
2,
3,
4,
5). You know
the dance, and you've read
Vanity Fair's extensive Thriller Diaries (
previously), or at least
Los Angeles Times' 25 Thriller facts, but have you seen
the almost hour long making of the video? Have you heard
the voice-over session with Michael and Vincent Price, with the bonus unreleased "rap" vocals by Price? You remember that
Vincent did Thriller just to make fun of himself, like he did when he
worked with Jack Benny and
Red Skelton, right? Or maybe you're in the mood for more of the comedic horror that Michael liked, such as
his collaboration with Stephen King,
Michale Jackson's Ghosts (HD, with Japanese subtitles and intro).
