If you have been following my Facebook tweets you would have noticed I have mentioned this music video by the almighty Bonnie Tyler before. However I decided today that this simply needed to be blogged about as part of my Valley's blog period. The video is nothing short of epic as were all of Bonnie's video's this was Directed by non other than Jim Steinman a writer and Producer who had worked on previous Bonnie Tyler tracks also. It was nominated for seven Billboard Video Awards. And yes it does sound like Bon Jovi's 'You gave Love A Bad Name' as it has the same writer but was actually realeased before Jon Bon's version. The production design is amazing and obviously had never reached it's true audience, perhaps it was ahead of it's time hahahahahahaha.
Excitingly if you haven't already heard Bright Light Bright Light has signed a little deal with a fantastic new label called Popjustice Hifi Sounds as though he is very excited about the whole deal.
'Love Part II' is coming out as a single on Monday 13th September (12th on iTunes) as a deluxe CD also featuring 'Cry At Films' on which Rod's friend Del Marquis from Scissor Sisters does backing vocals and guitar, AND a remix by Pepptalk.
The Single will look something like this, which the Lovely Christa Holka did the Photography for and we are quite excited that the Music Video to the single should also shortly be gracing your screens which has been Art Directed by myself and we are all very excited about. Watch this space for further details.
Oh and please buy the track and support new artists!!
Since it seems at present everyone is hooked up to a set of wires I thought I would share with you this pleasant image of Kel @ Select models from my current shoot for Dazed Korea.

As I write this blog in the regional mountains of Wales I feel hugely inspired to create some epic happening or ridiculousness maybe I just need further distractions to take me away from reality right now or simply because I would like to put a Knife in the works of the everyday existence of people here in Wales. So as this video from the knife holds some similarities to the visual experience I'm seeing on a daily basis, football clubs, track suit wearing chavs, overpowering drag queens. Perhaps it is time for some Caribbean beats in the Valley's. As I am sure this video was inspired by Hedwig so this needs to be passed on too. Also Olof looks too hot here with his bomber jacket and dance moves.
Dir. Johan Renck / music The Knife / Sweden / 2003 It is the annual meeting for the local football club, yet the entertainment turns out to be not quite what was expected.
Today's business advice came from my 11 year old niece, wo over baking a cake together today told me that I really should be by now working with Ms Miley Cirus (Not Hanna Montanna she is totally passed that apparently) I was also told that Justin Beiber is not a sex symbol to all young girls and in fact he has hair that is a bit like a girls. However it was good that I have worked with Lady Gaga but would probably be better if I could work with Pink and definately should by now be working with Katy Perry as her song California Gurls is one of her favourites. So thanks for the advise Ms Saffron Gilley.
Saffron also mentionthat Miley's Raven costume was quite something and her new video for 'Can't be tamed' was definately worth the watch, so looks like I need to do my home work better, as the video is quite fun and all the costumes are brilliant, note to previous blog entry http://alun-davies-rogue.blogspot.com/2010/07/new-accessories.html these accessories were made before viewing any Miley Cirus footage haha.
Thanks to Homotography.com I came accross this piece of art i'm sorry but this is simply beyond any music video I have seen recently even a Lady GaGa video simply would not even come close. There is no Art Director credit so I guess the Director Roy Raz and the rest of the team helped create this visual masterpiece. And once again I am seriously impressed with Homotography's radar on current work right now I really am loving this site as a visual reference, thank you.
