The coolest jumps in the history of...jumping

2010-04-23T16:37:00.001-04:00

Man, the 3rd, 2nd and 1st jumps are, genuinely, insane. I think i posted the full video for the second jump way back in the day. But this shit is nuts.

Brink Cinematic Trailer

2010-04-01T15:12:00.001-04:00

Actually one of the coolest trailers. This game is supposed to involve a "parkour" element, but mostly it's just a "point to where you want to go and we'll take you there quickly" element. Still, looks rad.

The best cat ever - the trololo cat

2010-04-01T15:09:00.001-04:00

So funny! You just can't help but lose it.

God i love video games

2010-03-26T11:33:00.002-04:00

New Ghost Recon: Future Soldier trailer looks so damn epic. You gotta appreciate the work that went into this. One of the best trailers i've seen, easily.

Wicked trail bike video

2010-03-25T15:32:00.002-04:00

This is just one of the easiest things to watch ever...good music, sweet skills. good stuff.

i'm always the last to post...here's the new OK Go! video

2010-03-05T10:04:00.003-05:00

...which is quite awesome. The song's catchy and the Rube Goldberg thing is just straight up great. So fun to watch.

Enjoy!

Zach Galifinakis is damn hilarious...

2010-02-22T16:41:00.002-05:00

This is the most awkward thing EVER. But it's so good. I've totally posted this before, i realize that now.

Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis from Between Two Ferns

Ninja keyboardist knows how to jump and play piano

2010-02-22T11:31:00.003-05:00

I think it's just awesome that a lot of the popular indie/electro/retro-revitalize bands (great example is the Valerie and Friends compilation) are actually creating music that sounds similar to the 80s as well as shitty German electro-pop (no offense). But i do really think it's great.

Wicked! Michael Cera in an Islands' music video

2010-02-19T16:31:00.003-05:00

Saw these guys at the Mod club (sans cera) and fuck they were great. really clean, super funky, just great to listen and dance to. here they are doing "no you don't" featuring Michael cera, which is just great.

New Caribou album could be pretty good.

2010-02-19T16:27:00.003-05:00

Caribou, a indie/electronic/pop band released their last (and first, i believe) album Andorra a year or so ago and it was pretty good. The're related to another band, I want to say Manitoba, with some of the same artists. I'm not 100% sure on that, so don't quote me, but their next album is pretty good. They're on Merge records and if you haven't listened to any M. Ward, who is also on Merge (i believe), you should. Anyway, this is "Odessa" by Caribou.

I'm actually pretty pumped for Kick Ass

2010-02-19T12:38:00.002-05:00

It looks pretty damn rad. And these red band trailers are great. the last one was brutally gory, which i think is just swell.

To be awesome

2010-02-15T15:51:00.011-05:00

So what does it mean to be awesome? It means a lot of things, too many to count. So instead of counting, let's list them.

It means growing a moustache for November, shaving it in December and then growing it again in January.
It means dancing in your kitchen with headphones on while making a grilled cheese.
It means writing a post about it.
It means being so full of awesome that it comes out your armpits in the form of sweat.
It means being able to bite your fingernails so precisely that you never have to trim them (awesome and pretty gross).
It means knowing who Dolph Lundgren is and that he plays drums, sings (badly) and is an actor, martial artist and model.
It means being obsessed with the game Robot Unicorn Attack!!!
It means having a bottle of liquor with a cobra in it that has another snake in its mouth.
It means being yourself (or being me).
It means being a source of new music for friends (that share your awesome taste in music).
It means constantly pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable and appropriate.
It means defining genius based on being able to make loose connections because you're good at making loose connections.
It means always being able to say "oh yeah, I saw that yesterday" when someone shows you a new and cool internet video.
It means picturing three wells when you say "Well, well, well."

It means buying what you thought were baby blue shoes off the Internet, only to find out they were teal and being happy about it.
It means loving the small things in life more than the bigger things.
It means recognizing that the last thing could be taken in a dirty way but writing it anyway.
It means stopping to pet almost every dog you pass.
It means being like, or knowing, this guy:

It means being grammatically correct in your text messages.
It means lovin' life.
It means knowing how to play frisbee by yourself.
It means being cool with having the last name "Notzl-Keyser."
It means not shaving for 6 months while you're traveling, looking like this and being happy about it:

Whatever "awesome" means...

This is just straight f'ed

2010-02-12T16:04:00.001-05:00

I don't know what to make of this. At first it's uncomfortable, then it's random, then it's more random and then it's violent and then it's just fucked. I love these kinds of videos...so unpredictable.

Dolph Lundgren will croon his way into your heart

2010-02-12T15:51:00.002-05:00

At first, when he was singing, I thought "this is pretty cool." But when he kicked the boards the guys were holding and then broke the ice blocks, i knew i'd found something special.

skip to the 1:20 mark if you're the impatient type...

A new game! Meat boy

2010-02-12T11:34:00.001-05:00

Meat Boy! a semi-traditional scroller, you're a piece of meat trying to go places (story of my life). Fun and addictive (story of my life).

Play Meat Boy

Another fun little game

2010-02-12T10:16:00.002-05:00

just so i can find it later. Simple game. Just press "x" to go from roof to ceiling and avoid obstacles and holes.

Robot Running Game

Most amazing game ever!

2010-02-11T13:23:00.001-05:00

Robot Unicorns...there are rainbows and stars and addictive gameplay. it's pretty much perfect. But, it's got music and stuff in the beginning, so just click the link below to play it. Super fun!

Robot Unicorn Attack!!!

Cuuute dog snowboarding!

2010-02-11T13:21:00.001-05:00

I knew they could skateboard, but snowboard?! Dammnnnnn! He looks pretty stoked. And it's interesting that it seems to be mostly bulldogs that are so good at this. Must be the low centre of gravity.

Really neat video art

2010-02-11T13:19:00.001-05:00

This is from an artist out of cologne. It's a beautiful play of images, movement, all within the city space (which i love).

Lionheart - the street fighter edition

2010-01-21T12:40:00.002-05:00

Who needs to see the whole movie when you can watch it without all the plot and character development that Van Damme movies are so well known for?

Aziz Ansari is less annoying than Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaandy

2010-01-20T11:49:00.002-05:00

Molina & Johnson plus some wicked gamin'

2010-01-18T09:45:00.004-05:00

This is a beautiful combination of gorgeous and rather heart-wrenching music with some fantastic old-school video gamin'. I talked briefly to the kid who put it together and he said there was something lonely in the video games that went well with the music and I must agree. Especially in the skill of the player...it alludes to the solitary nature of the player and the time alone required to reach such ability. Anyway, it's wicked.

The Morning Benders

2010-01-12T14:38:00.004-05:00

I just found these guys and i like'em. easy to listen to, which is always nice, with an up-tempo feel that just makes you want to swing your hands and snap your fingers.

2010-01-08T14:53:00.002-05:00

Operation Ivy!!!!

2010-01-04T10:40:00.002-05:00

I was finally able to find this album on...itunes...yeah...and have been listening to it non-stop for the last few days. the first song posted is the best.

Healthy Body:

Unity:

Take Warning:

Room without a window:

"The position being taken is not to be mistaken for attempted education or righteous accusation. Only a description, just an observation, of the pitiful condition of our degeneration." Love it.

Junkies Runnin' Dry:

So appropriate.

Bad Town:

Big City:

Boy Least Likely To - "Be Gentle with Me"

2010-01-04T10:36:00.001-05:00

A great song, so happy and nice - a great way to start the back to work grind. Nicer than the Operation Ivy i was listening to on the way into work...

Wicked Skate 2 video

2009-12-18T10:53:00.002-05:00

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

2009-12-17T14:14:00.002-05:00

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

2009-12-17T11:47:00.004-05:00

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"

2009-12-17T10:42:00.002-05:00

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

2009-12-17T10:22:00.002-05:00

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

2009-12-17T10:10:00.001-05:00

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!

2009-12-17T09:56:00.001-05:00

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

Red Dead Redemption

2009-12-16T15:54:00.004-05:00

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

2009-12-15T10:59:00.002-05:00

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

2009-12-14T12:05:00.001-05:00

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!

2009-12-10T11:40:00.002-05:00

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.

Van Dammmmmmme, he can dance!

2009-12-10T10:25:00.003-05:00

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.

Nudity alert! Girls' "Lust for Life"

2009-12-03T13:55:00.003-05:00

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!

2009-12-03T13:48:00.001-05:00

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

2009-12-01T10:59:00.002-05:00

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.

Surprised Kitty!

2009-11-30T11:55:00.003-05:00

This is the greatest/cutest video of a cat i've ever seen...makes me want a cat soooo bad. I still think that while scientists are playing around with genetic modifications, they should make some animals stay in their super-cute baby form for ever. Probably goes against all my morals and stuff, but hell, to have a kitty like this forever or a perpetual puppy...that'd be just great.

This monkey loves magic!

2009-11-26T23:59:00.002-05:00

2009-11-26T10:04:00.003-05:00

God i love michael cera. Just watched Year One last night and, gotta say, that's a horrible movie. The only shining light was Michael Cera...he's like christopher walken - he could read the news and i'd find it funny.

Clash of the Titans teaser trailer

2009-11-11T09:50:00.003-05:00

This looks like it's going to be pretty damn epic. I remember when teaser trailers were a lot more of a tease and a lot less of a please. i love this new definition.

Just as a sweet juxtaposition, here's the trailer for the original Clash of the Titans from 1981.

Perfect fall songs - Bonnie :Prince" Billy

2009-10-26T12:00:00.005-04:00

If Bill Callahan every did anything with bonnie prince billy, i'd lose my shit. OH wait, they did - as "The Sundowners." i must say though, i was very disappointed.

I see a darkness

A cover of Johnny Cash's original, this is a beautiful song. One of those occasions in which what came after is better than what came first.

Death to everyone:

For the longest time, i thought the line was "...and it makes Jose much more fun."

A minor place:

Ironically, one of the more uplifting songs from the album.

Another day full of dread:

That's all i can find quickly. But if you get the chance, pick up "I see a darkness" by bPb. so good. Look for songs like "Today I was an evil one" or "Song for the new breed." the whole album is just fantastic.

CAT MASSAGGGGEEEEE!!!!

2009-10-22T15:44:00.003-04:00

I used to give my cat a massage. Sometimes i give massages to strangers' cats, but i always ask first.

The key to this video is to not think about any sexual innuendo while watching.

Hahaha, flirting with magic.

Unfortunately it's sunny as shit out there, but hey, it can't always be sunny. If you haven't listened to Bill Callahan before, you should. Beautiful. It'll get you though - i listened to "Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle" over and over again and i got so down so slowly, i never saw it coming. The album feels like autumn - all about endings. But damn is it beautiful.

Ip Man was a great movie, with some of the most intense fight scenes i've seen. Unlike the majority of martial arts movies, the main character just straight-up kicked ass. I think in the entire movie he took 2 hits. Awesome. raw-fuckin-awesome.

2009-10-14T14:46:00.004-04:00

Feature trailer and it looks...promising? I don't really know what to say. With a cast like this, it better be the biggest action movie i've ever seen. Best line from the trailer:

"Who sent you?"
"Your hairdresser."

So maybe it'll be funny too...

Update: Due to some copyright crap, the video's been removed. But i'll post it again when it's available.

Ong Bak 2: The Beginning

2009-09-30T18:12:00.004-04:00

I have a particular issue with the naming of this sequel/prequel to the original Ong Bak movie. By calling it "The Beginning," I'm going to have to assume it's a prequel. I think that's a fair assumption; no asses are being made out of you or me. BUT, in the original movie he's a Muai Thai expert, fair enough. In this one...again, the PREquel, he's an expert at, like, 7 different fighting styles, including drunken boxing, wooshu (spelling?) and more. So what, did he forget all this shit in between the prequel and the original? anyway, this shit looks AMAZING!!!

To be honest, i don't think this has anything to do with the original Ong Bak, but i like to rant.

Book of Eli trailer

2009-09-30T18:06:00.002-04:00

You know, Taken, starring Liam Neeson, has really re-invigorated my interest in action movies starring mid-life men featuring actors you wouldn't particularly imagine being especially agile. Now, Denzel Washington has done his share of action movies, but his martial arts-based fight scenes in this trailer definitely harken to the honed abilities shown by Mr. Neeson in Taken. The same is true for an upcoming John travolta movie...the name currently escapes me, but it looks okay and I believe it was directed (or produced) by the same guy who did Taken. Anyhow, check out this trailer...it looks pretty rad.

Video for "Lust for Life" and "Hellhole Ratrace" by Girls

2009-09-30T17:40:00.007-04:00

Man, the Lust for Life video is a great. It totally represents the cathartic, crazeeeeee and beautiful feelings the song evokes. For two more tracks, check out two posts below.

P.s. if you get some rubbish Pearl Jam shit at first, it's just an ad, so don't turn it off too quick!

Lust for Life:

This second one, "Hellhole Ratrace," makes evident the fact that this guy's broken man. shit, he's had it hard and he's damn good at expressing it.

Hellhole Ratrace:

And, finally, "Lust for Life" "live"...a good way to see what we have in store for us here in toronto on November 10th...when Girls will be playing live at the good'ole El Mo!!!

The new Islands album, "Vapours" is awesome!

2009-09-30T17:29:00.002-04:00

I really enjoyed their first one "Return to the Sea," but this one's even better. Super danceable and this song, the title track, is the perfect example of said danceability. Enjoy!

Some tracks from the latest Girls album..."Album"

2009-09-30T17:25:00.003-04:00

Shit, the lead singer's song is sad as shit. I'll just quote some stuff from somewhere else for laziness' sake.

Girls frontman Christopher Owens grew up in the Children of God cult. His older brother died as a baby because the cult didn't believe in medical attention. His dad left. He and his mother lived around the world, and the cult sometimes forced his mother to prostitute herself. As a teenager, Owens fled and lived as a Texas gutter-punk for a while. Then a local millionaire took Owens under his wing, and Owens moved to San Francisco. There, he and Chet "JR" White formed Girls, and recorded Album, their debut album, under the influence of just about every kind of pill they could find.

Nice video by the Antlers

2009-08-19T10:40:00.003-04:00

The Antlers, from Brooklyn, are, I'd have to say, my new favourite band. "Hospice" is a heartbreaking album that's beautiful, poignant and just so easy to listen to (over and over again). This song is "Two," from the aforementioned album.

For fear of seeming obsessive, here's a nice "unplugged" version...kinda nice actually, the guy's voice is rad.

This is redband, so you've gotta prove you're old enough...just change 2009 to 1981 or whatever...anyway, this looks like it could be freakin amazing or pathetically cheesy. I'm guessing it might be the latter, but still, this trailer is worth the watch...

Smart smart smart

2009-07-28T13:04:00.001-04:00

This is a nice and subtle ad done by Toyota (but you wouldn't really know it) in which they use a car to create a font. I love how they play it off as a creative/artistic endeavour without focussing on the car and ruining the innovation.

Alyssa Milano workout video

2009-07-15T09:32:00.003-04:00

Everything about this screams porno....the soft-focus, cheesy music, her touselled hair and awkward closeups and the name of the damn video is Teen Steam?! Teen Steam? jesus! There's three more of these videos too...

UPDATE: after watching more of the first one, i decided i should put the remaining two videos. I skipped ahead in the first one to about halfway and Alyssa was doing some sort of squat that was about as pornographic as you could get...so for all you pervs out there, here are the other two...

[Sidenote: once, when i was younger, i caught a baby squirrel because it wasn't moving very fast and i picked it up and played with it for a while. It was cute but kinda sickly looking. I was with my parents and they were totally into it. After we let it go and walked away, my head was really itchy and my mom, curious, looked into my hair and saw all these little fleas in there. For the next hour or so, she picked at my scalp like an ape.]
