Alright bitches, I'm gonna be completely honest. I LOVE SADE. Homegirl is like 60 years old and she still makes sexy thoughtful adult music for sexy thoughtful adults like myself. This song is great, and this video is pretty great too (if you assume the desert setting and Enya-esque mood is some kind of postmodern parody of itself).

New Video: 8 Bit Trip
YW co-founder and former writer (I think it's fair me to refer to the rest of the YW team as former writers and contributors) That Dude put me on to this video. Some bored Swedish dudes spent 1500 hours taking pictures of Legos, moving them slightly and then taking more pictures. The end product was this video.

Japanese TV: Pankun and James
From what I can tell, this Chimp/ Bulldog combo is about the best thing that came off Nipon-Koku's small screen since Ninja Warrior. Please watch these, and let me know what you think. That way, if your heart isn't warmed, I'll know you're one of the undead and remember to keep my distance.

Old Videos: Bjork
Sorry I've been a bit lazy with the posts lately, but I have been a combination of busy and, well, a pothead...so it is pretty hard to get things done. Anyway, I was watching some Bjork videos yesterday, and thought it a good idea to post, just in case we haven't seen em.
Bjork- Wanderlust
There is nothing about Bjork that makes me think she is sane. It certainly doesn't help when your videos make you look like a Sami ronin. Nevertheless, the video for Bjork's fourth single off her sixth album, Volta, is about as good as they get. Created by Encyclopedia Productions, Wanderlust uses claymation, animation, CGI, and live action to create the Norse dreamworld through which Bjork wanders.
Bjork- All is Full of Love
From Homogenic, All is Full of Love is a gem of a song. It strikes a balance which is perfect for Bjork, odd and industrial, yet cinematic and catchy. Chris Cunningham exhibits a refined directorial precision and timing allowing us to be enthralled and comfortable, even though the video is so topically strange (lesbian robot stuff).
Bjork- Hyperballad
Michel Gondry directed this stellar video for my what is probably my favorite Bjork Song; Hyperballad. The song comes from the album Post (an essential for anyone with good taste in music). It makes me think of the Matrix in paper-machete, and you can see the influence it had on videos such as Wanderlust.

First of all, C Murder is innocent. Secondly, das racist. Funny video though.

Looking for a Girlfriend...
This wilder is in a class of his own. "So if you live in Michigan and you're 16, I'll fuck you--if I can." Sensational!

Will You Be Here Tomorrow?
This is a safety video shown in training exercises for factory workers. Not only is it unbelievably funny but some of the special effects are pretty impressive. If you laugh when people fall down, watch this video. If not, your readership is not appreciated, and we'd like for you to stop visiting YW. Thanks.

Fwd: to your boss
I've slept on a lot of these SNL shorts with Andy Samberg and the rest of The Lonely Island, but the amount of wildin in this one is uncanny.

Hooked on the Penis Power
Props to Lynas for putting me up on this the other day. Do not make the mistake of cutting this video short. Just leave it on in the background if you don't want to watch for 9 minutes. It gets better and better.

PRE#&DENT PLEASE! A New Linguistic Phenomenon
Recently NY1 went up to Harlem to expose a new vernacular trend which replaces the word ni*#ga with president. Yes, it seems that, at least according to this reporter and a few convinced citizens of Uptown, the N-word is fading, and fast. I can't even...just watch the clip. Some of my thoughts and questions below.
- I can't decide if this trend is good or bad or stupid.
- I can't decide if it is culturally appropriate for me to decide that.
- This isn't a parody, is it? It is clearly NY1, correct?
- "It's a struggle out here man. Nothing rhymes with president. You know what I mean? It's multi-syllabic." Might be the best quote ever.
- Is that girl in seventh grade? Really? Not bad.
- Jamal called his enemy/friend (in the fight) a "bitch-ass president". Can the word be used in a negative way, or does it always have a positive undertone? Also, do you think that those kids staged their fight for the cameras? If so, well done gents.
- That professor teaches at my school.
- What the fuck is that Menace II Society: Re Release nonsense? That's a joke, right?
- That guy with the Sam Cassell dome really gets heated. In response to his conviction, I would present a situation in which one might meet or refer to a head of state. What then?
- I am not sure how I feel about this whole thing. I guess it is good that the n-word is being replaced (who am I to judge), but I cant help but feel a bit uneasy. Is there something racist about this clip? But what? Is it due to the quality of reporting? Or is it because I find this funny and it's not supposed to be and its about black people, which might make me racist? Or am I racist because I felt uneasy about laughing at it, as opposed to letting loose sans guilt when watching similar videos about white people? I don't think that is it.
I am uneasy because confusion makes me uneasy. I am confused because this is an incredibly weighted clip.
- Indeed, these are very strange times to be alive.
thanks to Liz for putting me on!
