NEW RELEASE: Morrissey "You Have Killed Me"

Mozzer Morrissey
"You Have Killed Me" (Attack/Sanctuary)

AV Club, director | Anne Johnson & Ute Leonhardt, producers | The Directors Bureau, production co | Jesse Green, DP | Description: AV Club lovingly recreate a vintage, yet fictional Italian TV appearance of Morrissey and band performing this lead single off new album Ringleader Of The Tormentors. In a testament to AV Club's commitment to authenticity, the video was shot in Rome, Italy and the footage was appropriately fuzzed up so as to look like an old VHS bootleg. -- Watch "You Have Killed Me" at Myspace or The Director's Bureau

BOOKED: Bag - Casseus, director

The video for Bag's "I Can't Stand Your Face" will star a misanthropic man who wears a paper bag on his head. His various emotions will be reflected by cartoonish drawings on the face of the sack. As the one-man-band Bag is the first signing to Kiss genius Gene Simmons' Sanctuary label deal, it only makes sense The God Of Thunder will make a cameo.

Description: Kelly Osbourne leaves behind her pop/punk teen angst for something much more existential. The video for this cold electronic pop song stars Kelly in an equally cold and robotic world that seems  taken directly from a creepy French new wave flick. When not documenting the ennui of society with her camera, the singer takes subtle steps to spread a message of resistance.
