Father Tiger - Safe & Sound (Taylor Swift Cover)

Wow, if someone had told us when we were making our morning coffee that we'd have a Taylor Swift song on repeat later on we'd be sure they were mistaken. Especially a song from The Hunger Games! Who knew? No disrespect, just that it's never happened before. Well it's a fact now as L.A electro duo Father Tiger have done a beautiful cover with a hypnotic beat. We actually think this treatment suits the dark lyrics a lot better - they shine in a whole new light. Plus, how can you go wrong with Casper the Friendly Ghost as the star in your video? Exactly. It's lovely! Click here for the original with Taylor Swift feat. The Civil Wars. Visit Father Tiger here for their own material if 80's tinged electro floats your boat. Which we certainly hope it does! Enjoy!

Hot Chip has some of the most gorgeous and trippiest material out there. We love it. This brand new video is no exception thank goodness. Night & Day stars no other than Terence Stamp and Lara Stone to name but a few!

I Am Because We Are - A Sunday Documentary

Last week we presented Paris Is Burning - and the similarities to I Am Because We Are are striking. Living with HIV/AIDS, poverty, homelessness, murder. But also warmth and some happiness amongst all the sadness and trying to take care of each other. The first time we saw I Am Because...we were absolutely shattered afterwards. Simply because we know that it's not unique events that are displayed in the film - cases like this exists all over the world really. Malawi is hit the hardest though as it ranks among the world's most densely populated and least developed countries. Out of a population of 15.4 million, almost one million people in Malawi are living with HIV. AIDS is the leading cause of death amongst adults in Malawi, and is a major factor in the country’s low life expectancy of just 54.2 years.

It's very easy to forget just how privileged we all are if you have had access to sanitation, a safe home environment, health care and education growing up - and just how important that is for your self-worth. We too lost a parent at a very young age, and we know how that sadness tugs at your inner core. We donate time working with a sanitation and safe sex project in India and give money to Amnesty every month - anything to try and be part of the solution. 

This documentary came out in 2008 and is written, produced and narrated by Madonna - one of the world's most recognized. But the events in it are really of concern to us all because the title says it all. I Am Because We Are. The player for some reason states that it's the trailer - but it is in fact the whole film. 

We'd love to hear your thoughts after watching it! Comment below or Facebook us!
