Friday Videos: Wednesday Edition - Nov. 24th, 2010

I'm going to take a few days off from the computer / blogging for the Thanksgiving break so I'm going ahead with this weeks playlist even though it's a few days premature. Just think of these as conduits for conversation pieces with your family when there is a lull.

• Nic Cage Losing His Sh*t - four minutes of Nicolas Cage doing what he's known best for.. freaking out.
• Murder, She Wrote New Theme Song - it's dumb.. real dumb.. but in the most enjoyable way. Via Paige.
• Offering Time Dance - I am genuinely impressed and fascinated with this guys moves. The fall backwards / quick recovery is phenomenal.
• Fear in the US News Media - maybe a bit of a thinker piece but I love the quote about "nothing, of any significance, will ever happen to you in your entire boring life." Lots of NSFW language and maybe a bit vitriolic for some but I am loving his guy. Also, via Paige.
• Why Can't We Walk Straight? - Robert Krulwich lets you know that, blindfolded, you can not walk in a straight line. I dare you to try this with your family over the break. via Kate.
• Baby Otter vs Stuffed Walrus - sometimes you have to get your cuteness quotient in and this more than covers you for the long holiday.
• The Blue Whale - I love nature / animal documentaries - so this little CGI walkthrough with David Attenborough inside a blue whale is right up my alley. The heart is as big as a car and pumps 10 tons of blood! Facts!

BONUS

• "Two Hearts" - Keegan DeWitt - great song, great video. It will make your day feel better, so listen to it.
• Silestone - "Above Everything Else" - supposedly this is 100% computer generated. I'm not sure I believe it because it looks entirely real.
• "Remember This One" - Action! via Dillon Landcaster - the bands favorite pick from their open call submission. It's a great one. Watch them all here.

Have a great Thanksgiving break. Oh, and don't forget to go download that new And The Relatives album.
