Folks, the forecast is in: 100 percent chance of Northern-born Nashville transplants telling us we are bad and dumb at snow days.

I knew that they initially tried to make Patrick Stewart wear a wig for Captain Picard but I’d never seen the test photo and now my day is complete. https://t.co/VadkGygtrI

Friday Videos - Jan 12th, 2018

posted January 12, 2018 #

While the East Coast recently experienced a "Bomb Cyclone", the South is currently experiencing a Flash Freeze. Apparently it's been named Winter Storm Hunter, not quite as threatening in my opinion. It does serve as a nice reminder to enjoy this guy slipping.

Wherever you are, hunker down and enjoy a long weekend. Here's some distractions to kick it off:
  • Slipping Guy - here it is again in video form. I am confident I can watch this for an hour straight and never tire. How is there not a 10 hour version of this?!
  • Bowling Disaster - you know exactly what's coming and it's no disappointment when it happens. I think this may be my new favorite search term.
  • The Road Movie - no, not the brutal Cormac McCarthy film but, rather, a feature-film with theatrical release of Russian Dashboard Cams. The trailer is great but definitely nerve wracking.
  • VRChat - Want a glimpse into the future? This is it. Social VR mixed with a baffling array of avatars, largely infested by racist Uganda Knuckles. The quotes are from the Wakaliwood movie Who Killed Captain Alex?, in case you were wondering.
  • XTC: This Is Pop - new Showtime documentary on XTC. If you don't know them, watch this film and dive in deep. The whole catalog is solid top to bottom.
  • Reptaliens - UBIK - I posted this previously but I've really been enjoying this album and the video matches the band name vibe perfectly.
Stay safe. Be warm!

Here’s a weird one for you: Last week, I called out my former boss @danharmon for sexual harassment, and today I’m going to ask you to listen to his podcast. https://t.co/BEZAWH787V

Elvis & Dimmi

posted January 11, 2018 #

If you've never seen the Paul Robertson / Ivan Dixon collaboration for The Simpsons intro, go watch it right now. Great, now you've got a basic understanding of the powerhouse of animation that they are capable of.

Next, go watch their new short film Elvis & Dimmi. There's an absurdly long scrolling intro but once the actual story kicks in, it's a real treat. As with many other Robertson pieces, there's a whole lot of absurd violence but it's so, literally, cartoonish that it's okay to let yourself enjoy it. In fact, the two protagonists of this particular story are complete assholes. There's nothing good to champion about them but their absurd adventure is certainly worth 12 minutes of your time.

Maybe this exposes a bit about me but I'm a huge fan of giant back patches on jean jackets. I don't care how it's perceived by others - too hipster, super lame, etc - I think it's a great look. Too Legit to Quilt, aka Dre McLeod, has an impressively large collection of offerings to adorn a jacket. There are mix and match, insanely huge or appropriately large pieces to choose from. There's a heavy vibe leaning into Egyptian symbols, underground cults and mysterious icons; all of which are exactly up my alley.

Highly recommending the feed of artist Jonathon Armstrong. Not only does he document some of his favorite pieces that he encounters but he shares many of his own creations as well.

Interestingly, his medium is largely based in quilting techniques; blending together fabrics, book cloth, found paper and thread into mesmerizing patterns. He's also got a sweet jacket.

Misha Mishajashvili

posted January 10, 2018 #

I recently became aware of the works of Misha Mishajashvili, an artist from Estonia that has a particularly fascinating discography of works. The latest album, simply titled 2018, is a mixture of choir and orchestral samples, big programmed drums and plenty of distortion. It's honestly like finding a mixtape from another planet. Misha was kind enough to describe some of the recording process.
I record all of the music - bass, drum, percussion - at home with the help of a tape machine - most of time I cut tape by hand to make sound fit to song. It is long process but often works! The orchestra and choir samples I record from church or pull from a tape I inherited from my father and mother. Then i mold all together with help of a tape machine (and sometimes the computer) for best sound.
It's a compelling combination of tape loop beats, 50's dancehall horns, orchestration and plenty of disintegration and decay,
