Friday Videos - August 19th, 2016

posted August 19, 2016 #

Remember that the new Birdcloud is available for pre-order. It's a hefty price tag but the packaging is deluxe!

Bobby Badfingers - Dueling Banjos - honestly, this is the only video I should post this week. It has everything an individual needs for Internet Sustenance.
Squirrel GoPro POV - in my heart of hearts, I know this was faked somehow. I choose to believe it is real.
Rogue One - Sabotage - a recut Star Wars trailer to Beastie Boys "Sabotage" should be something I could turn my nose up to but I absolutely can not. Pretty dang perfect.
Lasagna Cat 4/25/1979 - how long has it been since you visited the weirdness of Lasagna Cat? Too long I'm sure. Go for the bad Garfield, stay for the bad music video.
The Most Accurate Hacking Scene Ever - I couldn't even make it through the whole scene but the initial visualizations of the hack were well worth it.
Batman Converses with Himself - for everyone that ever made fun of Christian Bale's gruff voice in the Dark Knight series, see the other side of the coin.
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared Hidden Lore - I have taken a deep dive into this Youtube theory videos. The narration can be a bit burdeonsome but the content is worth a ponder. I am convinced that show has levels we have yet to understand.

If you're looking for somewhat disgusting but oddly entertaining visuals for your day, head over to Trimp, a tumblog of the best & worst variety or watch this video. They're unrelated but equally disturbing.

Sigil ARG

posted August 18, 2016 #

Excellent read over at VICE on this article These Mysterious Symbols Have Been in 19 Video Games and No One Knows Why. It's a mouthful of a headline but the content is quite intriguing. There's a rather hefty Wiki article on the phenomena but, in a gist, an alluring image was found inside of the source code of a game and inside that image was a GIF that appeared to be part of a larger map. After continuous investigations, this same symbol and more map pieces - 19 in total (above) - have been found. No one knows where this ARG will lead but the discovery process seems like enough of a reward.

Dream Dealer Reminder

posted August 18, 2016 #

Last summer, around this time, the full-length album Dream Dealer was released from Sleep Good on my own yk records. If you are not familiar with said album, please take a moment to familiarize yourself as I'm confident it will be a fine addition to your summer playlists.

I recommend starting with the video for X to whet your whistle and then diving in to the full experience - available on Spotify, Soundcloud, Apple Music, Bandcamp and wherever fine music is streamed. You can also order the limited edition vinyl as well.

When I Was Done Dying

posted August 17, 2016 #

I'm a little behind the ball on this but I just encountered Dan Deacon's video for When I Was Done Dying; a collaborative piece done with Adult Swim and nine distinct animators. Deacon has a long history of compelling music videos - see Drinking out of Cups for a prime example from 10 years ago - but this piece for ups the ante. I think the Tarash Rabowsky segments might be my favorite style but it's almost impossible to pick. I'll be deep diving into each of these guys and I'm sure I'll post more about them later.

Glob - Phobos

posted August 17, 2016 #

It's almost unwatchable but this highly glitched out, static-y video for Phobos is oddly entrancing and fits well with the somewhat brooding music underneath.

Pairs well with this guy.

Toro Y Moi: Live From Trona

posted August 17, 2016 #

I'm a casual fan of Toro Y Moi. I always enjoy what I hear from him but haven't ever been enamored with an album in such a way that I play it relentlessly. Like I said, casual.

However, when I saw that he was releasing the concert film Live from Trona, I was intrigued. He took his band out to the desert, setup a circular stage and a rotating camera crew... then played a full show to no one. If you're thinking this evokes Pink Floyd's Live From Pompeii - that is by design.

It's hard to stay compelling with concert footage and no audience but the environment and performances keep it interesting.
