Wicked Skate 2 video

I love that video games are giving people the opportunity to be creative in yet another way. These Skate 2 videos are awesome, people put a lot of time into it and with the filmer packs that let you edit and create skate reels, there are tons of them out there. While some people put a lot of thought into just the skating part, this video has a real cinematic air to it that makes it a lot of fun to watch. editing, intro and some great tricks go into what is my favourite Skate 2 video so far.

Loose Fur

Found some good music today. Good stuff.

Get this. Loose Fur is a collaboration of Jeff Tweedy and Glen Kotche (both from Wilco) and Jim O'Rourke! Great trio. So here's some beauty stuff.

"Chinese Apple" with a music video done by some guy...

Jim O'Rourke

I really enjoy Drag City Records. They've got some awesome artists like Bill Callahan, Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Jim O'Rourke. These guys have a nice sort of grungy and kinda simple sound to them that I really enjoy. Bill Callahan especially, gives me the same feeling as a good western movie or a Cormac McCarthy book.

"Therefore I Am"


This one's nice.
"Insignificance"


A little bosa nova (maybe)
"Something Big"


The album art is just classic.
"Ghost Ship in a Storm"


Some more bosa nova. Good times.
"Please Patronize Are Sponsors"


There's a sort of Christmas-y feel to some of these. Coooulllddd be the season, but hey, there it is.

Not so in this one, but shit, it's great.
"Prelude to 110 or 220 / Women of the World"


"Memory Lame"


"Get a Room" (i think)


And a little something from his latest album: "The Visitor"

Wu Tang - "M.E.T.H.O.D. Man"

Great song. I "can sing" all the lyrics for this song, but i'm guess that half of them are wrong. But shit, it's something to witness, let me tell you.

Oh shit, that's the jam.

Mega Man 10 looks mega hard

but honestly, who's surprised? These have to be some of the hardest games ever. But here's a little sneak peak of things to come. The music's always been so good.

Clash of the Titans feature trailer

This looks pretty damn epic. And, there's a little sneak peak of the kraken too, which looks rad. good times.

Iron Man 2 bitches!

Very exciting. Anyone who likes RDJr and hasn't seen "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" should totally do so.

Red Dead Redemption

Every once in a while i get cravings for very genre-specific movies. Lately it's been westerns. I just love the feel...the pathos...the slow and subtle style that permeates pretty much all western movies (save, maybe for 3:10 to Yuma). This is a new game from Rockstar games (GTA) and it looks just great. Seems to capture those exact elements...and it's an open world game. Exciting.

Youth in Revolt red band trailer

I posted the original trailer earlier, but the red band one's pretty damn great, so I'll post it again. Definitely looking forward to this one.

Star Trek re-edited

It amazes me that i've never posted this before. One of the funniest thing i've ever seen. Oh i have posted this before, but a long time ago...so here it is, all "fresh"...watch more of these when the video ends, some are hilarious but this is by far the best one.

And now...Cyborg!

It's a Van Damme-athon! Hopefully all parts are available.

As one commenter on Part 1 said, "this was an underated [sic] movie it was good as fuck!!" I agree.

My success with Lionheart has gone to my head. Make sure you catch Van Damme's sweet dance moves.

Van Dammmmmmme, he can dance!

No he can't. But it's great to watch.

Sitting at work, Bloodsport playing in the background, i couldn't help but think of another Van Damme classic, Kickboxer. The dancing scene is, arguably, one of the funniest things i've ever seen. So good.


- Funny bloopers R us

Fishing bloopers

I was just glad no one got a hook caught in their eye lids or nose or lip or neck or ear lobe or anything like that.

Or did they?



No, they didn't.

Nudity alert! Girls' "Lust for Life"

But the HARDCORE version. The best part is that on pitchfork, yes, where i got this video, the description is "This is the one where the guy sings into another guy's penis."

And yes, that happens.

Looks pretty rad - Ataque de Panico!

That's a fun movie to say. This is the five minute trailer for Ataque de Pánico! (Panic Attack!) by aspiring Uruguayan director Fede Alvarez. Apparently flashing the video around Hollywood netted the no-name a $30 million movie deal.

Modnation Racers looks RAD

With the potential to offer gameplay similar to Mario Kart and what looks like a really easy track creator, I'm really excited for this game. Look for its release in early 2010.

New OK Go....is pretty good

this song's pretty catchy and the video's nice and trippy.

Queen AND Mario

a bit of an addiction on both accounts. This is impressive, if not a little annoying. But fitting given my current addiction to Queen.
