Stemming from the same quiet joy one derives from peeking into a stranger’s shopping trolley (instant mash? really guy?), Todd Selby’s voyeuristic peek into the homes and workplaces of the world’s brightest creatives is as conflicting as it is fascinating. “Should I be looking at this?” you ask yourself. Do I know the subject better for it? I wonder if I can ebay that toy? etc etc etc.

This strange human compulsion to get all up in everyone else’s shit so to speak, becomes all the more irresistible when the subjects are people you spy walking around your ‘hood. Selby originally showed his Sydney-centric series as part of Monster Children’s Selby/Cobrasnake joint show but for those not present the bulk of the images have made their way online. Prepare for some crib envy and check out a few of our favourites below.

If that’s not enough Aussie action for you The Selby also enlisted Sydney graphic designer Jonathon Zawada to make a collage-style poster for his online shop. The Selby explains: “This poster was created by Sydney based artist Jonathan Zawada from photographs on The Selby. The signed and numbered posters are limited to an edition of 275. The poster is 24″ x 35″, offset printed in the USA on Glossy paper. Future editions of this poster will not be numbered or signed so get yours now.” Check it out below…

French haute couture designer Jean Paul Gaultier has enlisted Dragonette frontwoman Martina Sorbara and French electro Producer/DJ Martin Solveig to collaborate on a track for popular Jean Paul Gaultier fragrance Ma Dame. The end result is the clip and track for “Boys And Girls” a playful electro number that was shot in Gaultier’s Parisian mansion. Check it out below…

Time for a Dead Weather video overload!

Judging by the flurry of uploads on their youtube account The Dead Weather, that gin-soaked super group comprised of a White Stripe, a Kill, a Queen Of The Stone Age and a Greenhorne have spent as much time in front of the camera as they have in the studio.

First cab off the rank is a live video of “Cut Like A Buffalo” a stomping reggae jam that threatens to descend into a prog-style keyboard solo at any second - then makes good on its promise. It manages to sound both murky, punchy, ballsy and focused and at 1:40 it’s efficient to boot.

Next up is “Will There Be Enough Water?” a piano lead slow burner built on a meandering blues riff and Mr. Whites’ backwater howl. The accompanying video, a behind the scenes look at how a record gets pressed however, is nowhere near as interesting.

My two favourite videos however are the trailers for “Treat Me Like Your Mother” a short film Directed by Jonathan Glazer. Not too sure on the premise though if you’ve ever wondered what Allison Mosshart would look like as a gun-toting bounty hunter wonder no more. The answer unsurprisingly is fucking rad.
