The new video for Swedish pop maestros Miike Snow had Vince Haycock hopping over from the US to delightful Hackney to work with Reg Hollis off The Bill.
No word of a lie. And this team-up with Reg (aka Scottish actor Jeffrey Stewart) is another rich character-driven mini-drama, to add to the marvellous Haycock [...]
Here’s a real gem. Clever Richard Ayoade has somehow unearthed the authentic blood-drenched trailer for Ricardo Elfio’s classic giallo Seventies horror Vlad The Impaler. And he’s attached it to a new track by Kasabian – called Vlad The Impaler.

Super slow-mo always works doesn’t it? You just sit there, transfixed, as they start to look really annoyed, really slowly…
But then, for his latest and one of his most enjoyable Zutons videos, Scott Lyon adds the magic, wet ingredient.
Water bombs: that’s a whole lot of fun at about six for a pound. And what’s more, [...]
