Friday Videos - July 1st, 2016

posted July 1, 2016 #

Do you watch Jon Oliver? His joke last week on the Brexit about Britain celebrating their own "Independence Day" was too funny. Trust me, it was good. You should watch it. I chuckled aloud for real.

If videos are not your thing for whatever reason, please enjoy these Zoo Signs, these idiot kids and these Delightful Dogs. If you do enjoy videos, here you go!

Kitten vs Dog Tail - yea, that title is very AFV but c'mon, it's delightful.
Tiny Hamster BBQ - sometimes you just need some good natured, wholesome fun. Like these little buddies having a BBQ.
Shelley UHaul - you may need a little context but once you get it, it's pretty good. Also, try driving yourself insane.
Laughing Artic Fox - delightful.
Wooo Wooo - followup, also delightful.
Wooo Wooo Remix - let's keep going.
Why HeroQuest is So Great - gotta agree with this guy, I know nothing of Hero Quest but this guys demeanor is undeniable.
Blop! - headphones required... and before you get upset at this being tasteless and offensive, remember it's a Reality Show in which these folks are acting. It's TV, not real.
Dog leading the blinds - I think I've watched this 100x this week. Never unfunny.
#NeverForget Fireworks - this guys panic is still hilarious.

Cryptic Fantasies

posted June 30, 2016 #

I've been enjoying the output of Nashville psych-rock band Penicillin Baby for awhile but their latest release, Cryptic Fantasties is some next-level goodness. Not only is the artwork from yewknee fave St Francis Elevator Ride but the songs are just extra realized and perfectly executed.

Give a listen to the final track, "Working Man", and just try not to put it on repeat.

Blade Runner Type

posted June 29, 2016 #

Have I mentioned Typeset in the Future before? A blog dedicated to investigating the typography of popular sci-fi films? If not, let's make up for that now. I suggest a deep deep dive into Bladerunner or Alien study - as they have such a fine attention to typographic detail it's hard not to be impressed.

James Connolly

posted June 29, 2016 #

NYC artist James Connolly uses old LP covers as his canvas. He anonymizes faces and adds random ephemera (see Top of the Pops adorned with a laser vomiting shrimp) to great effect. For me, it works best when there's a somewhat sinister vibe to it; a melting couple or a choking smoke. But I'm not going to hate on a spaghetti couple either.

Fornax Void

posted June 29, 2016 #

The work of Fornax Void rides a very thin line between cheesy nostalgia and artful sendup. His creations are deeply entrenched in 80's / 90's style but they are entirely original. Meaning, they aren't just cheap reproductions of old box art or silly neon type. He is painstakingly sending these images through analog processes that would have been present when they were originally created. It makes for some meticulously accurate output; often impossible to discern between something that came from the era or not.

The Swiss artist is also a musician that creates a "musical interpretation of computer nostalgia." It's a nice soundtrack for browsing through the work. Dive in here, here or here.
