David Bazan - Cold Beer & Cigarettes

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

This is one of my favourite tracks by David Bazan - one of many, actually - and I found this street performance of the song by David in San Francisco last year. I really like the way the video has been shot and it’s a great performance of the song itself. But enough from me, check out the video yourself:

That’s not my name

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

I literally cannot get this song out of my head - the same thing is happening to Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles at the moment and so he feeds my condition by playing it regularly - so I thought I’d share. Anyone else like it? It’s called “That’s Not My Name” and it’s by The Ting Tings.

I really love songs that have a lot going on towards the end - especially if there are contrasting vocal lines playing over each other. I feel like it gets me every time, always a winner - yet the only other example I can think of while here at work away from my ipod is Taking Back Sunday’s “Cute without the e (cut from the team)” which is the only one of their tracks I like, but I really like it. Thursday do it a fair bit too on Full Collapse, I really like that album too.

But enough chatter, here’s the video:

MUTO: A wall painted animation

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Jonny sent over a link to a remarkable bit of graffiti stop-frame animation today - check out the video here.

An ambiguous animation painted on public walls. Made in Buenos Aires and in baden (fantoche).

I had to share… that’s just amazing, I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to complete.

South Park Studios

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

I was a big fan of South Park back in the day, but lost touch with it for a while. It came back to my attention when Jessi insisted I watch an episode from the latest season (12) called “Canada On Strike”. She was right to insist, I was in hysterics the whole way through - absolutely storming stuff.

So I was having a bit of a blog-about today, as I’ve taken to calling the practice of following people’s blogrolls around to find new reading material, and came across a link from Sean Klassen’s blog (awesome design, too) to South Park Studios.

It’s an official site which lets you watch clips from the show but also Full Episodes online. Or at least, it does if you’re in the US (and maybe Canada… I can’t be sure) - due to contractual obligations, at the moment you can’t view the episodes in England. While this was disappointing (as we have no way at all of watching full episodes of South Park online…) one thing that softened the blow was the way I was informed of this fact - check it out:
Sorry England

That’s pretty funny.
