We don't post a lot of music video in these pages but we have been known to make an exception from time to time and hat is very much the case for Jooj, the current musical act for frequent John Cameron Mitchell collaborator, director in her own right and fixture on the Canadian arts scene Sook-yin Lee, who partners up with musician Adam Litovitz in this particular endeavor.We posted the first music video from the duo's debut album just a little while back - that particular effort helmed by Brandon Cronenberg - and they're back now with a second effort, this one directed by Yuula Benivolski. Check it out below!...

In Brandon Cronenberg’s directorial debut, Antiviral – two competing companies in the thriving field of celebrity disease transfusions make it their business to harvest viruses from famous people and infect customers with clones of that virus, so they have, in essence, fallen ill from their favourite celebrity. If that wasn’t enough to send shivers down your spine, there’s also a black market for meat formed out of cloned celebrity muscle cells. Antiviral is a satire of celebrity fandom – a cold and clinical look at consumerism, modern technology, and the stuff that is making us a little less human. This isn’t much of a horror film, but it does conclude with an abrupt piece of ghoulishly vampiric symbolism. Now Cronenberg and Dp Karim Hussain have teamed up once again to direct the music video for “Shoulder and Whispers,” which looks like the pilot episode of a Canadian version of American Horror Story.

Outside of Canadian borders artistic polymath Sook-Yin Lee is likely best known as an actor and director thanks to her appearances in John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus and Hedwig And The Angry Inch. But up here north of the border? Well, I don't use that polymath tag lightly and it seems that there's very little in the arts realm that Lee doesn't do. She's arguably the most popular and enduring radio host and producer that national broadcaster CBC has on the roster, while also working as a photographer, a choreographer and musician. And on that music front, Lee and frequent collaborator Adam Litovitz have a little something new on the horizon with their duo Jooj soon to release its debut album. Which leads us to this:Antiviral...

Sook-Yin Lee is often regarded as a bold actor and broadcaster. In 2001, for instance, she mooned TV cameras on one of her last days as a VJ at MuchMusic. And in the 2006 big-screen drama Shortbus, she performs non-simulated intercourse as the lead character, a sex-therapist.Which is why it's surprising that Lee is timid about the world premiere of Year of the Carnivore . she wrote and directed the feature . at the Toronto International Film Festival."I've been so scared!" the Vancouver native, host of CBC Radio's pop-culture show "Definitely Not the Opera," said in a recent interview."I love this movie, and you set it out into the world and you don't know if it'll get brutalized . or worse, ignored."So I've just been like: 'Oh my God, why do I make things? What am I doing?"'Year of the Carnivore . which...
