The Music Animation Machine

These are pretty cool. If you can get beyond the fact that the music is extremely methodical and technical, it’s at least visually stimulating and cool to see some kind of visual representation of some of the world’s most exquisite musical masterpieces. Check out the Music Animation Machine here.  And a different aesthetic to this one;     

Ingrid Michaelson

Chances are, you’ve all heard the music of Ingrid Michaelson without even knowing it. She’s the woman behind the “sweater” song being featured on the new Old Navy commercials, and her songs have also been featured on Grey’s Anatomy. I really enjoy her music and the texture of her voice. Plus, her album Boys and Girls has been on constant repeat on my ipod for the past week– that’s a solid sign for me that an artist is legit. Check her out, buy her album on itunes, and take a listen to her song “The Way I Am” below;

The Lonely H

Check out this vid from Port Angeles’ own The Lonely H. Miles Burnett and my good friend Jordan Thompson are the creative minds behind this music video– that’s been getting some airtime on MTV2 recently. Congrats fellas. You can check out The Lonely H here, Jordan right here, and Miles right here.

Chromeo @ Sing Sing!

So last Friday was the 1st Anniversary of Sing Sing, at The War Room and it was quite the night ladies and gents! It got started off right with Pretty Titty & FOURCOLORZACK holding it down. Then on to Flosstradamus and finally ending with an amazing performance by Chromeo. They are so dreamy. Anyhow, it was quite the night if I may say so myself, and I haven’t danced that hard in a long time! Team Savory (with the lovely Shelbs and JR) were out and in full force, and we definitely managed to be completely on point and completely out of pocket all at the same time. We’re amazing like that. There were lots of shots, donkey punches, year 2000 playlists, KA’ing, and “if you aint got no money take your broke ass home” yelling spouts. It was outrageous, and a small sampling of pics can be seen here. More photos to be posted soon.

Amy Winehouse

Check out this joint from Amy Winehouse, it’s pretty legit and quite hilarious. Only because we all know girls like she’s preaching about;

Blake Lewis X Doug E Fresh X Barry B.

Yes, this actually happened on American Idol last night…

The jury’s still out for me on this one…

Lip Gloss

Where can I get me some of that Lip Gloss?! Lil Mama’s bout to drop a cosmetics line– I’m calling it. This vid is hilarious to me, I don’t even know what to make of it. But I guess it’s better to have a 17 year old rap about her lip gloss than the wide spectrum of other shit she could be rapping about? Enjoy the vid if you haven’t already seen it;

And if you still want more, here’s a better look at the little lady;

Bizarre

I found this clip on YouTube today- and I really don’t know what to say about it. It’s sort of funny, sort of sad, but definitely bizarre. Here’s Alanis Morissette’s take on the Black Eyed Peas song “My Humps”

“Will Dance For Electricity”

Saw this short video over at Inhabitat.com and thought it was the most excellent idea/concept/reality. Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before?! I’d dance to keep the music playing, or walk to keep the streetlights on, or run to power the TV- the opportunities are endless. Read more here.

Ignore the shameless plug for Toyota.

Just another example of good parenting…

Saw this video and cracked up! There’s really no need for “earmuffs” when you can self-censor materials for the kiddies. What a good dad…
