Friday the 13th! Mercury in retrograde! A full moon! Werewolves everywhere! That's the general idea at least. People do tend to get crazy on nights like this so be safe and just stay in and watch this playlist on repeat.

• Country Dance Off - Every Friday the 13th (and only Friday the 13th) Nashville musician D. Striker emerges from the shadows and plays a show, releases a zine and generally has a great time. Watch his silly video for Country Dance Off.
• Super Mario Busters - I was rather skeptical of the effectiveness of this mashup but I'll be damned if it doesn't work quite well.
• Data Trails: Jer Thorp - absolutely beautiful animation by Erica Gorociao. The content is a little scary (tracking via data shares) but I love how it looks.
• New York Times - Modern Love - keep the theme of gorgeous animations, this NYT piece transfixes me. I could watch transitions like this for hours. And that color palette! Don't get me started.
• EVEN NOW...THE EVIL SEED OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE GERMINATES WITHIN YOU - nuff said.
• BIRDMAN - Official Teaser - kind of really looking forward to this Michael Keaton beast of a movie. Could be super good.
• Spoon - Rent I Pay - it's a simple concept but this Spoon fixed is great. Really happy they are back with a new album later this summer.
• Pug Watching Television - and now you can watch the pug watch the television. The Internet provides all.

Have a great weekend!
