I couldn't resist the Pepsi / They Live mashup gif. Maybe it's a little on the nose but I still enjoy it. Alternatively, you can enjoy Shaq dunking an Oreo if that's more up your alley.

Uncle Skeleton "Jeux" - if you didn't catch it yet, there's a brand new Uncle Skeleton video from his latest album Cocoa Beach. Many thanks to MKAV for creating it.
Do I look like I know what a JPEG is? - I won't try to explain it but this five seconds is perfect.
Bootleg Bart - do you know the Bootleg Bart Blog? A repository of unofficial Simpsons ripoffs? Well, the site has it's own intro trailer. I can't remember the last time I read a blog that had its own trailer. Maybe never.
Missles in Iraq - drain the swamp, amirite?
Spoon - Hot Thoughts - nothing too crazy here except a well edited, 80's VHS'ed live performance. For some reason, parts of this song remind of this AIR remix.

Switched On SNES: A Link To The Past

posted April 14, 2017 #

Not unlike the Switched On Bach album of the late 60's, Switched on SNES strives to re-produce classic Nintendo tunes in a more accessible way. Here's the official synopsis:

Switched On SNES is a series of soundtracks played on analog synthesizers and drum machines. The goal of the project is to expose listeners to the musical masterpieces that have been overlooked - mostly because of the 16bit instrumentation.

While this seems like an endeavor for nerds by nerds, it's actually a wonderfully beautiful way to expose new ears to soundtracks they would have ignored before because of their chiptune style.

My only complaint is that it's far too short. Only one song exceeds 2 minutes and I just find myself needing more. That being said, I love that this exists and I can't wait to hear the future releases.

Casa Susanna

posted April 14, 2017 #

In our collective quest to be more empathetic, understanding, informed people (stay woke) it's always good to remember that the struggles of particular groups of people are not new, even if they're new to you. Take Casa Susanna, a 1950's hideaway refuge for trans and homosexual men to find safety away from world that was far from kind to them. These images were found at a flea market in the early 2000's and capture the joyful camaraderie of the residents.

It's not much but it's a healthy reminder of just how long it's taken for the rights of LGBTQ groups to make it to the mainstream. They aren't the only ones in that situation but at least we're making headway.

Waxy Returns

posted April 13, 2017 #

Thank God. Waxy has returned. Andy Baio writes of his unannounced hiatus, the shuttering of XOXO Outpost and the relaunch of Upcoming. But most importantly, he's started posting various links and insightful articles again.

I don't read a lot of true blog sites. Most of my Internet entertainment comes from Twitter, Facebook or enjoyable link dumps. I assume the same for most folks. I've always found Waxy.org to be of the thoughtful level of quality that I wanted to strive for myself, so it's nice to have that little beacon in my life return. Welcome back, Andy.

Rupert Sanders Instagram

posted April 13, 2017 #

I haven't seen the new Ghost in the Shell yet but I found the trailers to be a compelling - particularly the highly urban, Bladerunner-y, settings and character design. If you felt at all similarly, you should cruise through director Rupert Sanders Instagram for peeks into early sketches, hologram tests and 3D renders. Definitely worth a dive as it's not a ton of posts.
