Check out my interview with Marcel Castenmiller which was the first interview I've ever done! It was for Elision's Art Is Everywhere issue. This is still one of my favorites, get to know more about how Marcel Castenmiller shies away from being 'just a male model'. More of his art on: http://issuu.com/thisiselision/docs/1/72

Our Perspective issue is all about the many different ways many different people could view the world, and what such perceptions could produce in the fields of literature and art. It also features interviews with Cavan McCarthy of Swim Deep, SNL cast member Noël Wells on her photography, Bela Takes Chase, The Ransom Collective, The Aquadolls, and several amazing artists whose work you’ve got to see, as well as poetry, personal essays, watercolor, beautiful photos and more.

Robbers- The 1975 [You have no idea how much I love this song]

'Robbers' is a love song, it was originally inspired by my love of the Quentin Tarantino film 'True Romance', the story of an Elvis obsessed loner who falls in love and marries a prostitute. In the movie, the couple run away to California after killing her pimp and stealing his drugs to start a new life financed by a once in a lifetime drug deal. It's the sentiment behind the film that appeals to me, the hopelessly romantic notion that two people can meet and instantly fall in love, an escape story where love is the highest law and conquers all against all odds. Characters like Bonnie and Clyde always appealed to me as a teenager-couples so intoxicated with one another that they fear nothing in the pursuit of the realization of each other, actions fueled by blind unconditional love.  'Robbers' is an ode to those relationships. The type of relationship all humans long for. All or nothing This video is about when love makes two people feel they are the centre of the universe.  -Matthew Healy 

I felt like i was watching a film when I saw this, kudos to Tim Mattia for directing this. I love how The 1975 puts so much thought into their music videos, this one's one of my favorites.
