Yes, it’s the third Tings Tings video for That’s Not My Name – this one (after the first was rejected and it’s somewhat controversial replacement) is for America.
Actually it is the best of the three. It sees them back with AlexandLiane, makers of the award-winning Shut Up And Let Me Go – and the directors [...]
Amy Studt doesn’t think much of nice boys – including her gentlemanly co-star dancers in Paul Minor’s video.

And what with the indoor lightning bolts, now [...]

Well, when you have a cardboard city populated by finger-people and a careless sleep-walking giant (Richard [...]
MVA ’08 winners Eran Creevy and James Copeman are both featured in the current issue of Arena, in the magazine’s Future Is Now feature – and do fair impressions of male style mag models into the bargain.
