Crank this up for Friday, it is amazing. AM played this for me a while back and it blew my tiny mind…when the beat kicks in, wow, play it as loud as you can…the beat is ferocious, the 1974 choreography is fierce, the dancers are rubber-limbed funky, and the lyrics are Italian gibberish that someone wrote to sound like English. It messes with your head…you keep thinking they're singing something real, and it sounds so cool, and that beat, and the mirrors and dancers, and that hobo guy…
This is so tantalizing. Obviously this guy has some mad DIY skillz and there are some fantastic sounds being created, but I want them to coalesce into some great performance. Maybe I've gotta see him live.
ok, check it out. this guy (vik muniz, the artist) took installation
photos of sculptures at the Whitney. then he took dust from vacuums
that had been used in the rooms where the sculptures were. he used
that dust to "paint" a copy of the photo. then he took a photo of that
dust painted copy. that’s what you’re looking at. conceptual enough
for you?
the perfect vibe for a Friday…let's go for a Japanese style reggae walk while consuming lots of pickles cucumbers…satisfying the munchies, meeting hot chicks and making great friends like Steak Pretzel…
This vid has a fantastic soundtrack, and a story that feels like a Saturday morning cartoon gone all pcp demented. It moves from weird to weird with a beard, and this is a good thing. In another universe this would be a big hit.
It's basically about this vulture guy who has a dream that he builds an inter-dimensional car for this evil pilgrim snake, who is in turn thwarted by Magnificat who has a magical cane that can turn into things (clouds, saxophones). I think that was one of the plots Shakepeare was considering for Hamlet, but he went with the whole ghost/king/death/crazy instead.
I offer this to you to help you get through your Wednesday. Use it liberally.
Wow you guys. So there's this whole South African rap thing going on around the internet tubes, and some of it is amazing. This particular vid is so fresh.
Sometimes I wish I could be with you when you see something, you know? To experience that fun, full blast awesomeness of something great. I wish I could be there to hang out with you while you watch this video, it's so freaking good. I wish I could see the look on your face when the big hat shows up. You'll know what I mean when you see it. Try to remember the look on your face when the big hat shows up.
