Peter Gabriel - Lovetown

Peter Gabriel's song 'Lovetown' was first released in February 1993 on the soundtrack to the film 'Philadelphia' and was included on the film's soundtrack album. The video for the track was inspired by the art work of Yayoi Kusama, who Peter collaborated with on the video. He had also worked with Yayoi Kusama in 1992 when Yayoi Kusama was one of 11 artists who created images for Peter's 'Art From Us' project. Lovetown was not included on the 'Us' album but was released as a single in 1994. The video was released as part of a compilation of Peter's videos entitled 'Play' in 2004. Yayoi Kusama also worked with Peter on the "EvE" CD-ROM, released in 1996.

Yayoi Kusama has an exhibition forthcoming at The Tate which runs from the 9 February -- 5 June 2012. For more information follow the link below.

Great video! And too the comment about the 1%, they paid over 45% of the nations taxes last year, but they aren't paying enough? Why are we criticizing those who have achieved the american dream? And I say that as one of your "99%"...

Well! This is the first time I've heard/seen this highly creative piece - seems relevant to a needed group consciousness globally - now - but with a remake on the video to feature the mega-mansion 1%... sucking up the basic 'needs' of too many like some super-vac attack... to satisfy insatiable appetites unable to sustain warped egos in some Sci-fi Disney Drama of the 'Sand Worms' from "Beatlejuice".

Just purchased a copy of EVE to use on one of my ancient computers I have lying around.

I think it'll be awesome. Thanks and wish me luck, Peter!
