TMBG, Alive and Kicking

I had the great fortune to see They Might Be Giants last night during their Brooklyn residency at Music Hall of Williamsburg as a belated birthday present (complete with a visit from best bro Cody). Huge compliments to Becky for the entire experience.

The show consisted of the band's entire first album and it really struck me how entertaining and energetic the songs were even after 29 years. The band wasn't tired of them and the audience was eating it up. If you have the opportunity to see them at any point, I suggest doing so as they really seem to be in revitalized place (or maybe I'm just paying more attention). They're also going strong with their Dial-A-Song service - a new song every week. It's hard to think of a band that's been together this long that never took time off and still manages to be as joyous and fun as these guys.

If I took a whole chicken, wrapped it in a towel with an old Gameboy and buried it, that would probably really confuse future archeologists.

Friday Videos - Feb 20th, 2015

I'm not fully convinced my experiment was a successful one. I actually missed seeking out things to write about and posting about them - even if my pessimistic self doesn't think my writeups are really worth your time. I gotta do me for me, ya know?

Anyway, here's a playlist of distracting and amusing greatness. As usual, enjoy yourself.
  • Man keeps falling over while shoveling snow - I saw this in gif form yesterday and absolutely lost it. Is it fake? I choose not to wonder and embrace the insanity of it. Please watch at least 10x.
  • Sleater-Kinney - A New Wave - I don't have a terribly strong opinion about the song but I love seeing a good crossover between pop culture items, especially when it involves Bob's Burgers.
  • A Dog's Snow Day - strap a GoPro to a little pup and let them frolick in the snow. Imagine this when you've got your VR glasses strapped to your head.
  • Chmielewski Fun Time! - There's something strangely alluring about this dance. She isn't going bonkers but she is into it.
  • Freaks and Geeks - Uptown Funk - it doesn't sync up very well at all but Bill's dance is always worth a rewatch.
  • Garth Brooks First Facebook Post - the earnestness of this is way too much. God bless ya Garth but settle down!
  • Natalie Prass - Why Don't You Believe In Me - really enjoying this record and the simplicity and effectiveness of this video is spot on.
  • The Golden Egg - Short - a man by the name of Dave Cloud passed away this week. He was a Nashville gem - a strange character with a penchant for the audacious. He lived hard but made some truly excellent music. This short film showcases his personality pretty well - hard to understand and absolutely hilarious if you really get it.
If you still need more entertainment I dare you to watch this without skipping. No way you can do it.

Have a great weekend. Stay warm.

It's unfortunate that I'm using a still image to entice you into voting for The Gifys but there's just no way I can capture all the great animated clips in one contained image. Treat yourself and browse the categories - even if you can think of better candidates for every set you'll certainly enjoy the offerings they put forth. I mean, the "Animals" set alone is worth your entire afternoon.

Please take some time today to browse the portolio of Sim Chi Yin. The Burmese Spring set contains some unbelievable gorgeous captures.

Beyond that, there's also an excellent series on China's Rat Tribe - a collective of people that can't afford public housing and find themselves living underground. The name is certainly not a compassionate one because these folks are making it work but it's a sad state of affairs. Read more on it here.
