Through some happy accident, I came across this video by Pom Pom Squad for their song, "LUX," inspired by Lux Lisbon and quoting heavily from Sofia Coppola's adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides.
It's a microgenre, to be sure, but I love when musicians riff visually on feature films. Ex Hex is another, with their "Donna Wanna Lose" video taking them on a compressed journey through the visuals and plot of Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains.
And then there are the hybrids I want to speak into existence. HAIM should cover "Help Me" by Robin Gibb and Marcy Levy--THERE ARE HANDCLAPS--and shoot their best Times Square homage with Paul Thomas Anderson (acknowledging it may be too far from the valley to truly take and maybe something from Foxes--Janis Ian's "Fly Too High"?--would make more sense).
