Exploit Me!

I never thought I would say this, but this album cover might be better than the Weezy mixtape series. And you know it must be good if that's what's on my mind.

One blog had the nerve to call the album artwork "scary". If by "scary" they mean "amazing" then I am in complete agreement.

So far the Aussie duo has 2 videos in which they appropriate cursory elements of wherever they are (ie martial art-like moves and a silk jacket on location in Shanghai; feathers, skull iconography in the Icamole Desert, Mexico—and of course a few native looking folks here and there to make it authentic.)

Part of me wants to hate on them, but it's hard to when they keep turning out great photogs (never mind the music!). The rest of me wants to join the Cult--oops I mean Empire at www.walkingonadream.com Then, the first part of me wants to hate on them again for their interview costumes, uh, I mean outfits. So many typos today!

The group plans to travel the world, shooting in a different location for each of the songs off the album and ultimately merging them into a feature film, so I suppose I have plenty of time to make up my mind.
