PJ HARVEY AND JOHN PARISH: BLACK HEARTED LOVER, DIRECTED BY THE CHAPMANS
The video for the latest single by PJ Harvey and John Parish, 'Black Hearted Lover', is directed by artists Jake and Dinos Chapman. Commenting in the Guardian, the brothers said: 'Making a pop video is obviously different to making art. While the time pressure is greater, that's alleviated by the resources. It's the difference between building the Eiffel tower and the pyramids: it all depends on how many slaves you've got. There are also expectations of the form; public and commercial interests may converge but the creative urge will always head in a different direction. Videos are usually made to help to sell a record. But we'd like people to watch our videos, go out into the street and burn their Porsches.'

This video isn't made to sell records? Why not have PJ go out and burn a Porche (whatever) herself.

I wonder if they will burn their own porches, the video is a rip off anyway.

Brilliant video, this album equally amazing. "pig will not" is probably my favourite, such an inspiration!
