Freaks Unite
The new White Stripes album Get Behind Me Satan is released today. Watch the Blue Orchid video here where Jack White, Meg White, and Karen Nelson get their freak on. There are good freaks, and there are bad freaks (see previous post, re: tom cruise) but these three are definitely good freaks. Robo-Meg pounds away at plates with a mallet, the new bride (yes, this model/singer supposedly wed Jack White in Brazil this weekend) is rolling around on the floor amongst white snakes and a white horse, else she's walking down the stairs in unbearingly high heels, and Jack White has a couple of seconds with an uncanning similarity to the ever-popular Johnny Depp and/or Willy Wonka...Sorry, Jack, but it's true. You're still hot though. But perhaps it's just the top hat, or the crazed look in his eye, or maybe it's just the pirates of the caribbean mustache. The Blue Orchid video is directed by Floria Sigismondi, and some of her cool photos are posted here.
"Floria creates a hyper-surrealism using images derived from hallucinatory dream-states. Poetic and often macabre, Floria's images exist in a theatre setting that is both narrative and starkly visual."
