Rip

In a response to my friend's blog ConcreteThought, I will now inform you guys of an awesome documentary about remixes and the fight for fair use and the 1st Ammendment. It stars Girl Talk who everyone should check out also. The documentary is called "Rip: A Remix Manifesto" and can be viewed online for free.


The end is golden, and has a remix of a Steven Colbert interview where he says he doesn't want the interview remixed. Funny story, immediately after watching the Colbert video I found on youtube, the following video was pulled by Viacom due to copyright infringement, hahahahaha!

Working for a Nuclear Free City

I recently discovered a UK band called Working for a Nuclear Free City. They're music is awesome. The cd entitled "Businessmen & Ghosts" reminded me of tracks that would be perfect for commercials and montages (you know, the ones that make commercials really cool, to the effect of any Postal Service song). These aren't official videos, and I have yet to learn how to post mp3's to Blogger, so just enjoy the music ^^

"Kingdom"


"Je Suis le Vent"


Then this one, that sounds like something straight from "Myst."

R.I.P.

I loved the throwback to Tokyo Drift in the new Fast & Furious movie. It was surprisingly good. I decided to finally get around to watching the entirety of the first Fast and the Furious movie, and it was pretty good. The second however, not so much. Three, awesome, cuz I love Japan and I love drifting. RIP Han...

Dancing Kids

So I think kids that can dance are one of the coolest things ever. They used to be in music videos everywhere. Here are a few examples why. I wish I could dance...

We all remember that little white girl from the Missy Elliot videos, aka, the girl from Mike's Super Short Show...Missy Elliot n' Luda's "Gossip Folks":


Then there's a Japanese group called the Polysics and in it is the daughter of a Japanese dancer called "Strong Machine," thus her nickname "Strong Machine 2"...Polysics "I Me Mine (Strong Machine 2 Version):

Tenori-On

So I love music, and music games, and techno, and dance music, and anything really with an awesome beat. No country though. GTFO country. But, my friend showed me this new gadget called the Tenori-On. It's a handlheld musical instrument from the future using lights and sound to create music. I want one! But, it's only about 2000 US dollars. More information can be found here (as well as some mp3s if you like what you hear): http://www.global.yamaha.com/tenori-on/index.html

Product Demo:


And, the Tenori-On in action:

Wonder Twin powers, activate!

Wonder Twin powers, activate! These toys I've gotta have. I mean, look at the Zan waterbucket! Classic. Then there's Gleek, but come on, who really cares about him? Too bad they're ComicCon exclusives. So sad.

Booty, more important that food

You've all seen it, you all love it. The only thing that would make this better is if it were done by John Stossel. Oh him and his crazy mustache. I bring unto you, Fleece Johnson. Watch yourself, and dammit, pull ur pants up.
