Music Video of the Week #9

After a 12 year break up Ben Folds Five released a new music video for the song "Do It Anyway", from their new album Sound of the Life of the Mind. produced by Chris Hardwick from the Nerdist. The song is ok in my opinion, but why I posted it is because, it's got Fraggles in it! 

Trilogy Week #43 - Living With Aliens

So now that we know that their are aliens among us, how do we live with them. You can imagine that it might be something out of Star Trek, but in reality, it will probably be like these three movies. It will not be pretty for the new arriving aliens.

Music Video of the Week #8

THIS IS MY 100TH POST!!!!!!!!! Hurray!

Today's video is "New Noise", from the Refused album "The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts" This video blew my mind, when I first saw it in 1998 on M2. (that is what MTV 2 used to be called, to all the little kiddies out there.) Not for the video itself, but the song. I hadn't heard anything like it. I was a fan of punk, and I loved bands like Minor Threat, The Suicide Machines, & other bands that I considered hardcore punk at the time. But then comes this band from Sweden that showed me a new way that punk could be performed. Thus the name of the album "the shape of punk to come" which is inspired by the Ornette Coleman album "the shape of jazz to come", which also blew my mind. Their are very few bands that have shocked my subconscious awake, and have shown me a new way to see the world, or have given me a new form of inspiration. So that's why I am featuring this amazing piece of art.

Trilogy Week # 42 - Aliens Live Among Us

Have you ever had a creepy next door neighbor?, or knew a really strange weird kid in school, or just flat out saw some crazy dude, and thought "that guy has to be from another planet." Well they just might be. And these three movies blow the lid off the whole conspiracy! *whispering "the truth is out there."

Music Video of the Week # 7

Polite Dance Song, from the Bird and the Bee. An American indie pop musical duo from Los Angeles, California, consisting of musicians Inara George ("the bird") and Greg Kurstin ("the bee"). Kurstin. This song is off their second album "Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future." Directed by Eric Wareheim (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!) makes this a hilarious video, even using cast members from the show dancing in this weird but awesome video.

Trilogy Week # 41 - The Three "G's"

On September 3rd through the 23rd, Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles held the 3G art show. Where different artists made pieces inspired by The Goonies, Gremlins, and Ghostbusters. Three of my favorite films growing up, when I first heard about this show, I though "what are great paring of these three great 80's movies." So this week we are celebrating The Three GGG's.

Music Video of the Week #6

Radiohead's "Just" off the album "the bends" is one of my all time favorite music videos. The video was made by Jamie Thraves, who was hand-picked by the band, because they were big fans of his experimental short films. 

When you see the video, you see why I like it so much, by the little twist at the end, and you like me want to know what the man is saying, well Radiohead to this day have not released to the public what he's is saying, if it's anything at all.

Trilogy Week #40 - Silly Sci Fi

Everyone has a favorite Sci Fi movie, Star Wars, Blade Runner, etc. Being one of the most popular genres in film, it's also the most criticized by fans, for being scientifically inaccurate, historically inaccurate, or most of the time, just being plane stupid (Battlefield Earth). Just watch a Sci Fi movie from the 50's, the lunacy is very apparent. From the story line, acting, special effects, etc. So one would think, that now as our science progresses as a people, we would make better, science fiction movies. Well, not really. Even though science and technology has advanced, the stupidity of humans is still as consistent.
