Gone to Sleep

Moby and Kelli Scarr make a song based on this picture by artist Phil Toledano.


The video about their creation process (and the song itself) gives a great vibe of eerie desolation.




Author's note: the first night I watched this it inspired a fascinating nightmare about Changeling: the Lost's "Gentry", so I'm considering it prime fodder for that game at least.

Everlong (Foo Fighters)

An oldie but a goody.

Great portrayal of marauding tulpa, free-ranging nightmarish archetypes preying on the dreams of others. Also a neat example of dream shaping combat.

Bachelorette (Utena version)


I see this as a Fairest Durance, or a love affair involving Sidhe or Marauders.

Editorial:
Revolutionary Girl Utena the series was a fascinating, if repetitive, set of highly stylized vignettes. It involved a series of staged and structured confrontations at a boarding school each culminating in a sword fight. The ultimate goal of these confrontations to catalyze the metaphysical alteration of reality on a grand scale.

Revolutionary Girl Utena the movie was a completely surreal, bordering on nonsensicle farce involving the same characters and setting as the series. To those who've never seen the series, the movie will make no sense. To those who have seen the series, the movie will make little more sense.

However, one good thing did come out of the movie: Some industrious person recut the most interesting bits and pieced them together with bits of the series into a slightly more cohesive narrative. Setting the whole thing to Bjork's Bachelorette made it dynamite.

Bachelorette (Isobel version)



Love the recursion. Seems a good portrayal of a Durance.

Quicktime version available at Bjork's official site here.

I Lived On the Moon


A Sluagh father schooling his son in Dreaming lore.

One of my favorite videos ever. My hat is off to Yannick Puig and Kwoon.


Much more information and better quality video here.

Knights of Cydonia

Post-apocalyptic sci-fi kung-fu spagetti western has never been so cool. The kind of parody you want to live.
