Michel Gondry Readies Second DVD Compilation

Now that more than five years have passed since Michel Gondry's entry in the Director's Label series, the guy's about to release Michel Gondry 2: More Videos Before & After DVD 1. True to its title, the collection balances clips for Björk ("Declare Independence"), Radiohead ("Knives Out"), The Rolling Stones ("Gimme Shelter"), |The White Stripes ("The Denial Twist") and 16 others with random work like Gondry's Rubik's Cube videos, a segment from The Simpsons, and a drum duet with Booker T. Most of the material's been shown before in some capacity but "How To Blow Up a Helicopter (Ayako's Story)" is a new "documentary-style portrait of a girl trying to connect with her father (who happens to be Steven Seagal)".

Yeah, we're confused too. Michel Gondry 2 will be available on April 14 through the director's official site.
