An excuse, really.

Vimeo user Miss Lisa posits Malkmus & Co. over stock reels from NY's Prelinger Archives. Not a total fit, but phew such a jam.

"Me as Jared Leto...", 2010

Responds to recent allegations:

"I just want to take a moment to say I’m really hurt by the recent and false allegations of insensitivity and misconduct. I feel fortunate to work with so many extraordinary people each and every day. I’ve always been considerate and respectful of the people I photograph and I view what I do as a real collaboration between myself and the people in front of the camera. To everyone who has embraced and supported me and my work, I am so grateful. Thank you, it means a lot.

Terry"

"Do a post about butts shurrr" was the challenge issued to a wasted Hindu last night. 

"Yah OK" I said.

The team of Jean-Francois Moriceau and Petra Mrzyk have spent 10 years drawing images that undress the eye. Dirty chuckles that always end in bed. Sébastien Tellier is all about le derrière. Combined, we get a tongue-firmly-in-cheek dissertation on Brazil's most notable export: the juicy double.

Diamonds, latex, and lecherous hypnotism, all animated for the 10th anniversary of French label Record Makers.

They were also behind the delightful Electric Company-laced Health Ed. video for Air's "Sing Sang Sung".

Look.

Becoming Forever, 2010

The UK's Tom French defenestrates (an ongoing theme) mixed media in a billowing bang of charcoal and ice. He currently lacks a website so it's his brief flickrfolio or nothing.

Our unintentional photography week barrels on, unabated, with the seriously psyched work of 22 year old Evan Perigo. Remember Dov Charney's crowdsourced porno American Apparel's Best Bottom Search? (February.) Above, is a Perigo outtake that remarkably didn't make it. I know, mind blasted.

From his site:

"Evan has strived to bring the true inner being of each person and subject he photographs. A desire of perfectionism will always push him to work harder as he contributes to his ever-improving portfolio."

His flickr doesn't lie. Perigo's portraiture rules. And at 22? The fuck have I done with my life?

THIS. Comedian Peter Serafinowicz directed a deliriously COKED video for "I Feel Better", the latest from Hot Chip's stately One Life Stand.

You have no idea where this goes.

Terry Richardson—wotta scamp—descends from the rafters with a burly shoot for the Grindr age. And as Graham Kolbeins notes, dude nails it over and over (and over).

A classic directed by Derrick Beckles.

"The following 'Music Video' is a glowing tribute to our men and women in blue who courageously risk their lives each day, handing out tickets to people for riding their bicycles on the sidewalk. The song NEW VIOLENCE is ridiculously excellent as is but when combined with TV CARNAGE the result is nothing short of a Lethal Force."

Johnny Vegas, 2010

The arc of celebrity photographer Karl J Kaul is as follows: born in Vancouver, heralded in London, newly-minted in Los Angeles. Despite the changing timezones, Kaul continues to impress a welcome humanity upon his larger-than-life subjects.
