Friday Videos - Feb 17th, 2017

posted February 17, 2017 #

I don't know what it is about that GIF but it embodies the perfect amount of energy and absurdity. You might even call it the ultimate gif. :troll:

There's a few weird videos sprinkled in this week, hope you're okay with that.

death's dynamic shroud.wmv RARE EMOJI COLLECTION - everything from the title to the hynoptic, lo-fi, nature of the presentation is mesmerizing. Give a full 2 minutes and 30 seconds before you make any judgements.
put_that_there.mpg - this is an honest vision of the future we are embarking on now, sent directly from the past.
Skyway Man - Plane - from the forthcoming Seen Comin' From a Mighty Eye, out next Friday (Feb 24th). Enjoy!
Advice King: Episode 4 - not my favorite of the four existing episodes but still damn funnier than a lot of things out there. Thank you Crofton and crew.
Beyonce's Illuminati Performance Breakdown - if you didn't see Beyonce's Grammy performance, watch it first, and then listen to this guy rattle on about the Illuminati and symbolism throughout the performance. I'm not sure he's 100% wrong but I can't even tell what amount of this is earnest or joking.
Big Baby DRAM - Cute - this guy is crushing it for me. Feel good all around.
Bob Odenkirk Playing Stephen Colbert Playing Bob Odenkirk - I think that title says it all.
YMO - Firecracker (Soul Train 1980) - love me some old Soul Train footage. Love me some Yellow Magic Orchestra. Together, they are gold.

Talkhouse: Aidy Bryant + Jessi Klein

posted February 17, 2017 #

I love a lot of the conversations offered up on the various Talkhouse podcasts (see: Kumail + DANIELS for a prime example) but I was absolutely dying listening to this episode between Aidy Bryant and Jessi Klein. Aidy is, obviously, known for her work on SNL and Jessi Klein is Inside Amy Schumer's Emmy award-winning head writer. Together, they are hilarious. Can't recommend it enough.

Hair To The Throne

posted February 16, 2017 #

Ferris Plock has teamed up again with Day Dreamers Limited to create an animated series entitled Hair to the Throne. It's the tale of Drumpf's hair taking off from the top of his head at night to go out and do good. The intro video is great and I can only imagine a full series would continue that greatness.

They're running a Kickstarter but only asked for a $1 goal. So any money they raise is icing on the cake. And they have stickers depicting Drumpf's hair flying on an bald eagle. I know you want that.

The DistroKid Story

posted February 16, 2017 #

I use DistroKid for a number of yk records releases and it's great to read this post from the founder, Philip Kaplan, regarding how the site was made, how they keep things extremely lean (3 employees) and how they built their business to benefit the artist first, not themselves.

Granted, it's a bit biased as it's coming from Kaplan about his own work but I admire it and hope to see DistroKid keep thriving.

Whale Synth, Male Crimp, Jail Blimp

posted February 16, 2017 #

I admit it. I saw an ad on Instagram for "Whale Synth" and I clicked it. I didn't know what it was and I hate clicking ads but I did it. It's a delightful soundboard for making ridiculous sounds from Orca, Sperm and Humpback Whales. Oh, and it's part of a larger ad campaign from Mailchimp.

Riding the wave of "Mailkimp" - they've gone full-on with absurdly misheard versions of their company name and created mini-sites for a load of varitions - Mail Shrimp, Male Crimp, Jail Blimp, Snail Primp and Kale Limp to name a few. There's more. Really gotta give to them for such an entertaining and well executed variety of ad campaigns. See them all here and then go make some whale sounds.

Skyway Man "Plane"

posted February 15, 2017 #

Excited to see that Impose magazine has debuted the video for Skyway Man's newest song, Plane. It's a rather psychedelic affair - complete with ritual dancing in the desert around various totems, outlandish color phasing for days and 70's special effects. Oh, and it's an extremely upbeat and silly visual affair for a song about a plane crash. One of my favorites on the album actually. Go watch it.

The album, Seen Comin' From a Mighty Eye, is due Feb 24th on my own yk records and Light in the Attic Records and Distribution.
