alex and i did this amazing rendition of the babysitters club themesong friday night. all that's missing is the fade-in to kristy's dumb house, and of course the cord phone. and mallory. where is she now?
*ps, those are definitely alligators that we're using as microphones. innovative.
let's do! ps i really actually want this...anyways, on the 90's note i'd just like to say that the main reason i'm excited for caroline's visit is so that we can complete the long-talked-about project of making a 90's sitcom intro. don't know what i'm talking about? well, have you ever watched the likes of full house, step by step, or family matters? if not, i'd just like to say "how rude". during the infamous intros, all the characters are doing something like reading a book, or in michelle's case, playing with comet the dog, and then suddenly they creepily look up and smile as if to say, "oh, hello america, i didn't see you there!". i don't know what my random action will be yet, but i can tell you it's going to be good, it's going to be 90's, and it's going to be creepy.
check out congorock if you get the chance. awesome. reminiscent of vibesquad a little? like if vibesquad and florian meindl had a music baby. maybe it's just me. favorite track as of now equals step off, but this remix of runark is pretty fab too.
UGH i want to GOOOOO. Amber and Shae, if you don't go to this, i will mentally punch both of you in the face. i'm looking up flights as we speak.
this is like, the worst/best music video ever...it gives me hope that one day i too can harness the power of the green screen. regardless of quality, i'm still a big maria daniela y su sonido lasser fan, and i wish there would be more US cities added to the tour. oh well. just another reason i need to move someplace that is not america.
this is the stop motion intro for the documentary "handmade nation". it sounds pretty cool. it goes across the country, following this recent phenomenon of indie crafting and diy. i think the only screening so far is the premiere in sanfran, but i hope they add more soon...
i love japan even more after having seen this bizarre video of a robot conference. my favorite is the robot that can dance. and be programmed to follow you around the house. but that freaking scorpion robot is the dumbest invention of all time. why would any child want to play with that? if you bought me that scorpion robot i would stomp on it, or make bear grylls eat it. but anyways, enjoy this video and think about when robots take over the planet. that's gonna get weird. ps, do you think japanese robots wear japanese talking watches? i bet they do...everyone should.
i will never get tired of this video. or of total eclipse of the heart. although, i do prefer the original by bonnie tyler. great music video, too. it's like they made a video of my life.
yoann lemoine is one of my fave photog's. his main scene is movie production...he does a lot of animation, stop motion, things like that. he directed the music video for yelle's ce jeu (big fan). his illustrations are pretty cool, check them out if you get a minute, but i like his photogs the best. you can visit his myspace as well...
things i'm listening to that maybe you would like to listen to also:
if my life were perfect, i would own one of these japanese talking watches. i think everyone should own one in case an emergency situation arises where it's necessary to know how to tell the time in japanese. i feel these kinds of situations are highly probable.
