We Love You So – Where The Wild Things Are – Spike Jonze

Cali Dewitt and Jenna Thornhill are basically the perfect couple. When they’re not busy with their respective publishing baron and rock star careers, they somehow find time to publish dreamy glimpses of their adventurous lives in the digital pages of DeWitt’s blog.

Cali and Jenna’s distinct personalities fuse together into an aura of immediate magnetism, crippling humor and totally next-level creativity that shines like a radioactive cockroach in these candid, arresting photographs. The surge of a show at The Smell, the trash-strewn beauty of L.A.’s silent streets, an intimate afternoon moment spent amongst friends– they’re all rendered powerfully real in a sea of glorious grain. No other photographers capture the texture of contemporary Los Angeles quite like Cali and Jenna.

Reasons to love this music video:

1. Great band (obvs.) and great song
2. Dinosaurs drinking apple juice
3. The masks
4. Wardrobe by Brian Lichtenberg
5. Shot at the Cabazon Dinosaurs, from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (they’re now a creationist museum)
6. Songs that end with explosions/asteroids are always good

The clip’s director, Steven Andrew Garcia, has a blog called Brain Sheer where he posts rad behind the scenes photos along with portraits of people and bands we love, like Where The Wild Things Are graphic designer Geoff McFetridge, Kim Gordon, Abe Vigoda– and whaddya know, he’s even got a couple nice pictures of Spike! Here’s a shot of Mika Miko minus the dinosaur masks and one of Geoff proudly showing off his bike:
