hawty of teh week – neo-hippie chairlift chick

Caroline Polachek, vocalist of Brooklyn psych synth band Chairlift is this week’s choice because she directed their new video (“Ceiling Wax”, see previous mv update post below).  She also gets to model Marc Jacobs with her boys as part of a Saks Fifth campaign where they also played in one of the company’s new NY stores.  Theres a string of videos of these chic kids doing random things in MJ wear. It’s not entertaining, but we all gots to pay the mortgage…

mv update #2

Chairlift – Ceiling Wax. Vocalist Caroline directed, and starring Aaron’s (synthesizer/guitar) sister stars as the interpretive dancer. Never cliche at least.

Antony and the Johnsons – Crazy in Love.  Enjoyed the overt tape tracking quality and the song is how a cover should be, beautifully rearranged to made to have its own identity. Tragic tonality.

YACHT – Psychic City.  What? Juxtaposing fictitious religions preaching nonsensical behavior satirically? Oh well, sounds like a summer jam. Whatever they’re preaching, you can’t beat them at their own game. Cinematic.
