lolcat...again...

I find the internet's really been failing me these days. Either that or i'm getting pickier. I just find it's been really hard to find some awesome shit these days. And lolcats are just one of those things that do it to me every time. This one is cute as shit...especially when it jumps up on the chair and meows.

On a side note, you know what i hate? I hate that when you watch a super hilarious movie (like role models) and then try to find a compilation on youtube of all the funny lines, the shit people put together sucks balls. Makes me want to do it myself. I should.

Anyway, lolcat:

Love Japanese game shows...

...they're so creative. Some are a little creepy, but this one's wicked. Watch this and then check out "Wipeout," a North American obstacle course-based show...we're so fat and lazy...

This is how i drive...

I do love my music, just like this guy. I actually had a cab driver who kinda danced like that...but while sitting. He just clapped mostly and offered me cigarettes. It was just a bit much for 7 in the morning. Turned out to be a great start to the day though.

Spanish-speaking soap operas are just amazing...

...and apparently there's a new one on Univision (never heard of it) that features a surprisingly large amount of "cat fights." Watching this, i realized that my life lacks a great deal of intense anger. I don't think i've ever looked at someone with the same fire in my eyes as these women have during the entire "conversation"...the cat fight seems pretty "realistic" until one woman pulls the old sonya blade handstand move...dramatic.

Shit, the 3rd video from the NASA Music Project's good too!

This is the third video from the NASA Music Project that i've found and it's wicked too! This one is directed by Syd Garon and Sage Vaughn, who also created the art.
The track is "Way Down," and features RZA (I love RZA!), vocalist Barbie Hatch, and John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers.)





Another music video from the NASA Music Project

and it's pretty cool too. Totally twisted.

This is "A Volta," featuring Sizzla, Amanda Blank & Love Foxxx. Video by Logan, with art by The Date Farmers. I think i'm gonna have to take a look at this NASA music project.


I've been obsessed with David Byrne lately...

...and i don't even know why. this is a really cool video from the upcoming music documentary N.A.S.A., with art by Marcel Dzama and animation by Syd Garon. The track is "The People Tree," and features the musical stylings of Chali 2na, Gift Of Gab & Z-Trip. It's pretty good as a song and beautiful as art.

famous people when they were young...

Just two...Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. I must say, watching these videos, I was surprised to see that these two were actually as talented as they are when they were younger. My very cynical assumptions about the contemporary pop music industry is that these new people aren't really found as much as they are created. To find out that Britney Spears (especially after her openly lip-synched concert tour "Circus") actually can sing...it's surprising. And that's sad. I'd say it's a damning of our current expectations of musicians. That joke of a tour, too, gives proof to that low-water mark we've reached in the culture of music - to be okay with a SINGER not SINGING at a CONCERT says so much about what we're willing to accept. It's bullshit.

Anyway, here are the young Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake (JT i like).

The future of the future...latest Augmented Reality

Pretty rad...this has a lot of potential influence for the future of video games, online interactions and, i'm sure, advertising. It's a very cool use of Augmented Reality, but with a particular camera/viewing screen. The fact that they use Skittles as a method of interaction obviously implies the marketing opportunities.

Cute Lolcat inspires you today

Awwwww

Pretty fuckin epic - 2012

Crazy trailer makes this movie look insane! It's like every disaster movie you've ever seen, but in one John Cusack movie!

And, in the immortal words of a friend of mine...this one's scarier and sadder than Titanic because "this could actually happen"...amazing.

Pretty sweet new trailer - Zombieland

Love zombies. Love'em. This looks pretty sweet. I like watching the progression of our treatment of zombies, from slow but numerous to fast and freaky. "Fido" suggested they could be domesticated and used as servants and now we're dealing with zombies by making a sort of sport out of killing them. A certain irreverance is healthy, i suppose, but i hate the idea of trivializing the terror that zombies have consistently created.

Wickedly awkward meltdown...

...I have been known to watch the occassional moment of ANTM (American's Next Top Model, for those not in the know), CNTM (you can guess...) and even Make Me a Super Model (MMSM). And it's all for moments like this. But this is worse. this is from She's Got the Look (SGTL) and features one of the most mental breakdowns i've ever seen.

It may be gone soon though, so be sure to check it out.

Cute cute cute! Lolhamster!

I think if Richard Gere were to see this, he'd shit bricks...of excitement! This hamster is like Lemmiwinks from South Park, but instead of climbing through a gay man's intestines, it's just a simple obstacle course.

Come to think of it, this is kinda boring.

but CUTE!

Dedicated to Katz...the lover of the iFart

The funny thing is that this is a commercial for "The Pooter"...but an iFart will do just fine.

Sweet news report on bears...

...they're soo scary. That big hulking frame, sharp edges and cold, stone-faced stare...

Pretty awesome video about...CARROTS!

Hooray! Deliciousness. Carrots are good for your eyes and this song is GREAT for your ears. Hmmmm.

Shorty but a goodie

No need to say more.

The future is here...and it's the beginning of the end

This is a rad video of a bunch of robots with weapons that'll definitely bring down the end of civilization. The middle part, you'll know what i mean, looks like one of those videos they show in movies like i-robot or whatever as a brief and creative way to explain what the hell went wrong. Then Will Smith has to spend 2 hours killing all these damn rabbit-eared robots.

Great new music from Dirty Projectors

This is Knotty Pine with David Byrne. The video's shit, but the song's great.

They're coming to Toronto too! Lee's Palace on June 24th. Or 26th. I think the 24th.

Great remix - The Cure with Jay-Z

Granted, it is probably pretty easy to do this...just speed up one to match the other. But this is a great combination...

It's a dog's life...

Do you remember these from Sesame Street when you were young? These are so cute! I love when the dog licks the bread...so cute. In case you think "Those look familiar," they are! They're Will Wegman's dogs.





Cuteeee

Video Game Post!!!

So e3 is going on and there are some exciting things to be seen, that's for sure. Great new technologies are being shown off like the Xbox Natal and the Motion Controller Demo from Playstation. Below are a bunch of these technologies plus some of the games that I am just so excited for.

PS3 demoed a cool new motion control technology that could be awesome - if it works. In the immortal words of my friend baldy, "Remember Red Steel?"



This is the Xbox Natal technology that also looks awesome and could have some very interesting implications for advertisers and other industries.


And now the games.

From the same team that did Shadows of the Colossus, this is "The Last Guardian."



And, while there are a lot of new trailers for the second Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, this is a really great trailer.
