New Robyn Video: Be Mine

If you live in the US, there is a good chance you haven’t heard of Robyn. If you listen to XM BPM (#81), then there’s a glimmer of hope for you yet. Remixes of “With Every Heartbeat” and “Handle Me” are currently playing a few times throughout the day. And Why? Cause this girl is the shit.

“You cannot stop this. You cannot escape it and you cannot turn it off. So, I’d appreciate your kind consideration in this matter, Sir or Mam, would you please turn it the FUCK UP.
I present to you: the queen of queen bees, phoenix from the ashes risen. World record holder with a score of 2 GAZILLION in Tetris, two time recipient of the Nobel prize for Super-Foxiest female EVER, and wartime consigliore to the Costa Nostra.
She’s the founder and CEO of Konichiwa Records. The most decorated professional on the streets, with a perfect track record since kindergarten when she used to whup schoolboy ass.
In this world of tension, pressure and pain, she’s known for her wisdom, compassion and relentless determination in the quest to GET PAID.
- audio communiqué from Konichiwa Records Headquarters.

Anyhoo, here’s “Be Mine,”her latest single and video; the perfect follow up to “Handle Me.”

Mika’s so gay he shits rainbows. I really can’t deal with stuff like this, it sucks me in and makes me wanna skip and smile and wink at people. Its too early in the morning to wink at people.

Two mo’s fighting on a freeway

I’m not gonna say which purple hair freak i found this video on, because I don’t visit his site, but I had to show this. Homo’s are crazy, and by the looks, one was a little hefty, which is my second point: bears are crazy as hell. I’m just saying. Proceed.

Ectype’s End - Enjoy 9 Minutes of Your Life

Sometimes I hit on a digital short that captures the mind in a way that pixar just can’t. Right now, the culprit is “Ectype’s End,” a pleasantly surrealistic look at what happens when your daily drudge is suddenly filled with life.

A mix of hand animated characters, 3d graphics, and photo backdrops, “Ectype’s End” will make you wonder, make you think, but don’t get Zimmerman over it. Enjoy yourself, mmkay?

• Produced by: Rhubarb Zoo
• Year released: 2006
• Running Time: 9:28
• The Film
  3C70 is no more than a number. Forced into a clockwork world where his only purpose is to duplicate and multiply, he sets about his task without question. Within seconds, however, his small world is turned upside down when a strange plant upends the order of his simple life.
• Ectype’s End is a fast-paced and visually charged ride that combines hand-drawn characters with photographed locations. Featuring a quirky soundtrack that drives and describes the journey of its protaganist, Ectype’s End approaches the age-old issue of conformity with a story that is suitable for all ages.

Half-Life in 60 seconds

I passed this link over a few days ago from digg. I had assumed that “Half-Life in 60 seconds” would be some obsessed gamer exploiting a bug and getting all hack happy.” Or, Whatever. Then I saw it. If you never played Half-Life, its a pretty awesome FPS series for the PC. And after you shell out the 2k getting your rig all uberleet, lose 4 weeks of your life, your girlfriend, and maybe even your job, you can understand the hillarity of this video.

Dunnymation - Homestar Pwnage

Verizon cut out our internet at the office last night, but ok. I made lemon sorbet out of lemons, and composed a stop motion clip featuring my Dunny Army.

This is my first stopmotion video ever, and I know I made a few mistakes, but it was fun. I got all the little toys (minus the bastard HomeStar Runner Strongbad, thats Chris’) from Beth and Mark at Hero Design Studio on Allen. You gotta check out all the unique vinyl toys and indie band posters they have.

iDust - Blendtec answers the iPhone call

It’s about goddamn time the guys did up an iPhone.

Note: I do not hate iPhones, but there is something sweet and satisfactory about watching the brutal and undeniable destruction of a device that has cluttered my daily digest of feeds for over a year.

watch in delight….
