Behind the Video: Cosmo Jarvis' Gay Pirates

Today Cosmo Jarvis tells us the story behind the new video for "Gay Pirates" from the "Gay Pirates" EP which is set for release on January 23rd. Here you go!

Well the video initially began with a concept of mine that revolved around being on a boat. A big ass square rigger. Now I had written a treatment for an extremely serious, very raw and literal visual presentation of events and characters in my song. The video was to be brutal in educating the audience of what really went down on that pirate ship. Not a single gimmick or anything ever able to be classified by anybody with an opinion on gimmicks to be a gimmick, was to be allowed anywhere near this piece of drama telling the story of two gay pirates bound together by fear of the homophobic captain. I wanted all the events I described in the song to be there: the pirates sticking glass in the soles of the persecuted pirates' sandals and forcing him to wear them by threatening violence against his true love, the fact that they are only truly at peace with each other as they are forced off the plank one after another by the entire crew of the pirate ship. These events, in my mind, had no other way of being shown unless it was with the profound seriousness I imagined when walking though the story for the first time. But can you imagine the insurance and extra crew needed to shoot an insignificant music video on a fully sized square rigger ship that required twelve crew.? I firstly felt like if all the "MTV-wont-play-it-if-its-got-blood-and-gang-rape-in-it" advice really ended up being true ( despite my answering "it'll be honest, they'll understand, i cant compromise because it'll be so easy to notice and then I'll look like prick who makes sh*t videos with no substance or meaning,) that I'd look like an even bigger prick.

It ended up that the boat thing couldn't happen. Was never gonna. So, while thinking to brew up another idea that was both honest to the intent of the original work and also 'doable', I thought of creating a situation in which the story could be conveyed as if the events in it were considered similar to any other well known tragic tale of love and misfortune. The characters in the video are telling my story to the audience for me but the fact they are doing it through a performance medium suggests they are paying a homage or tribute to, or showing recognition of characters that were conceived to fool people into forgetting that some 'things' need not be things at all. In this instance, Gayness. These show 'a people' still relating to a story years after its fibres began intertwining are honours that legends, saints, martyrs and historical figures receive years later for the journeys, sacrifices, deaths and stories we remember them by. Little things like songs, plays, puppet shows and books. So yeah, I thought it would give the story a more objective take on itself while still maintaining its slightly abstracted core.

I shot it in a village hall in Holbeton, Devon. I used crew I had worked with before for the most part. Not many crew, just Dan Broadley as Camera Operator but also D.O.P, Rosie Hiller painted the set, Chris Roberts controlled the lights, Robyn Egan did make-up and my brother, Fletcher, was production assistant. Everyone helped out on some level with a drill or by making food. The cast were guys I knew, Sebastian, the pirate I kiss is my actor friend Dave Egan. We rehearsed for two days and shot the final take on the second. I insisted that it be one take, firstly because I wanted it to be like watching the show the characters playing the characters are performing. They wanted close ups and sh*t but It would have been worse video for it, what's the point? The Rig was a little thing I call the cross dolly. Its home made dolly resting on two tables pointing at the stage with another ladder dolly positioned on top at a ninety degree angle pointing either side of the stage. This meant that the camera could travel anywhere within an square area of space, almost the width of the hall and able to track forward into more concentrated action onstage or back to show a full view of everyone on stage. This meant the one take thing could be a little more interesting.

Secondly I wanted it to be one take because I love Wes Anderson. Also, one other thing - one take: no post, a little light grading but nothing much at all. It did kinda suck directing it, purely because I couldn't always see what the show looked like because I was onstage. Also, from the work I've done on my shorts, I'm pretty used to acting and directing. But When your acting - on a stage, and directing on a stage in front of everyone else there, like Wendy who did catering, you can't help but wonder if you sound like a little sh*t who wants his own way and is calling the shots based on some idea for a music video about gay pirates. The best thing was playback because everyone was into it. Never worked on anything like that before, where all the actors come out and welcome the realization that they f**ked up that take because they want to improve it next time. Everyone did ace.

Now that you know the story behind this video, you can watch it for yourself right here!

Elvis Is Back

Legacy had this big news for Elvis fans: Two words exploded worldwide on December 19, 1957 – "Elvis Drafted!" – but three words resounded across the universe even more explosively on March 3, 1960: "Elvis Is Back!" The album that Elvis Presley began recording in Nashville on March 20th, and finished in the legendary overnight session of April 3-4th, is widely regarded as possibly the best album he ever made.

A half-century later, Elvis Is Back is now coupled with 1961's Something For Everybody, an album he recorded back in Nashville one year later. Along with one dozen hit single sides recorded (also in Nashville) and charted over roughly the same period of time, the deluxe Elvis Is Back: Legacy Edition will be available at all physical and digital retail outlets starting March 1, 2011, through RCA/Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.

Elvis Is Back: Legacy Edition follows the template of the recent RCA/Legacy releases, From Elvis In Memphis: Legacy Edition and On Stage: Legacy Edition. With each title, the definitive version of one of Elvis' most essential albums has been expanded to include another historically significant album from the same time period, along with the hit singles associated with both albums. more on this story

Trent Dabbs Sets New Album Release

Trent Dabbs has set a February 22nd release date for Southerner, his sixth full-length record to date.

This project is both a return and a departure. The album is a return to Trent's heritage, and recalls how the South has shaped his art, but the tone is also a slight departure from his previous pop and rock-driven songwriting. The track titled, "Leave To See", the first song written for the album, fittingly describes the paradox of more clearly seeing your home from a different place, a different perspective.

Trent says that on Southerner he, "wanted to peel back the layers . . . and portray ten separate stories that have been woven into my southern life". Growing up in the rich literary and religious environment of Mississippi, and then moving straight into the country-soaked musical world of Nashville, Trent has many stories to tell. Like Flannery O'Connor with her short story collection, A Good Man Is Hard To Find, Dabbs pieces his own spiritual and relational questions into a coherent, haunting compilation. The ghosts of Johnny Cash, old gospel-choirs, Neil Young, and Nick Drake are heard roaming the halls of Trent's songs. more on this story

James McMurtry Reissues Announced

(Conqueroo) Lightning Rod Records will reissue James McMurtry's Childish Things and Live in Aught-Three on February 1, 2011.

Live in Aught-Three has been remastered since its original 2004 release and will be available on vinyl for the first time. The deluxe double LP also includes a copy of the album on CD. McMurtry will also embark on a rare solo tour this winter corresponding with the reissues. His 2011 touring plans also include a co-headlining run with the Bottle Rockets.

While 2005's Childish Things isn't an overtly political record, the centerpiece has to be "We Can't Make It Here," McMurtry's commentary on the state of the union. Novelist Stephen King, a longtime fan who has written about McMurtry several times in his Entertainment Weekly column (including the January 7, 2011 issue, where he hailed McMurtry as "the best songwriter in America"), described "We Can't Make It Here" as the "best American protest song since [Bob Dylan's] "Masters of War."' Childish Things and "We Can't Make It Here" won the Americana Music Awards for album and song of the year, respectively. more on this story
