So why own a vintage muscle car. One retired California schoolteacher’s perspective in this reflective short film by ALCHEMY creative.

I do declare I have discovered the most 80s thing in existence. This appears to be the high water mark for eightiesness. The one moment in which every 80s cliché invented is rolled together into one giant, non ironic monstrosity, after which the wave broke and stage was set for grunge and acid house to burn down the party. Essentially what you are about to see looks like a world where a Cyndi Lauper / Madonna clone and Billy Idol spend their time driving a slightly lame car through a dry ice laced cocaine factory. It’s an MTV advert for the Plymouth Duster, a car that was actually pretty cool in the early 70s, but by 1985 couldn’t be saved by a desperate attempt to surround it with every single signifier of youth cool the guys at the ad agency could rustle up. Brace yourself.

Check out D Double E from the awesome Newham Generals on a roll here delivering every car related rhyme and pun under the sun. Sweet. DIRTEE STANK IS THE LABEL!

…in which Hal and Nathan document their trip to the White Isle to support Tiesto at the world’s largest club, using a poor quality camera phone, meet Howard Donald, go swimming in the sea at dawn, drive a mustang and see a Daft Punk minimal acoustic set. Maybe.
