Director Spike Jonze is getting a lot of attention now because of his big budget adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are.
Before Where The Wild Things Are, though, Jonze made some of the most interesting music videos in recent memory, including videos for Daft Punk, The Beastie Boys, Fatboy Slim, The Pharcyde and UNKLE.

UNKLE’s fourth full length record, End Titles…Stories for Film, to be released in July, will be a collection of soundtrack work.
The opening and closing tracks are from a documentary about director Abel Ferrara (Bad Lieutenant) titled Odyssey in Rome. Another track comes from a Spike Jonze skate video, titled Fully Flared, and Trouble In Paradise (Variation On A Theme) is from a television advertisement.
The 22 track album features contributions from Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Black Mountain, James Petralli (White Denim), Joel Cadbury (South), and James Griffith (from UNKLE’s touring band) among others. Read more…
