Cant stop listening. So good, so so so good.

check out this video for Double Daggers song “Vivre Sans Temps Mort” directed by Cat Solen. Completely made with still photography and stop animation, a thrilling ride through the life of a small Asian model maker. Although they’ve been around for quite some time and with Pitchfork treating them like a handicapped grandchild I will say Double Dagger is a band to watch out for, minimal punk consisting of a bass, some drums and an anxious singer yelping to the heavens. Enjoy.

There have been some rainy grey days in Vancouver this fall, but it seems like the weather is going to be nice to us for a while.  Lets celebrate with some SCIENCE!

Check out this awesome video from 1952 called A is for Atom, explaining the basics of what an atom is and how atoms release energy. This is an artifact from the effort of the United States to promote the peaceful uses of atomic energy after the bombing of Hiroshima.

Will Oldham of Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy fame played the secondary role in a remake of Kanye West’s video for “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”. The video also features funny man Zach Galifianakis of the Hangover masterpiece. Now, I hate Kanye West with a passion, even more so than 99% of the people I dislike already. He’s a stain on modern society, a running joke, snorting hollywood sized lines of ego daily. Kanye stands for most everything that is wrong with music today, as he pretends to be cutting edge and “pioneering” trends.. birthing something that makes me puke: the popularization of Auto-Tune.

However if one good thing has come from Kanye West it is this music video. Set in a rural farm town, two ‘brothers’ (Oldham and Galifianakis) mouth along to the words with a sluggish mid-western town gusto. Flashy club scenes are non-existant and the only females in this video are a group of milk churning maids.  Tune out Kanye’s idiot image flashing through your mind and pretend these words are really coming from Galifianakis. Also watch at the 3:40 mark when Oldham makes a tractor his love toy.

PS.

I just read Kanye West will be serving 50 hours of community service for beating a paparazzi photographer in an airport last year. I hope Kanye looks good in an orange jumpsuit.

The song is called “Prisencolinensinainciusol”. Written by the Italian artist Adriano Celentano in 1972.  It sounds like the lyrics should be English but they are pure gibberish.  I never heard non-English speaking people trying to emulate English.  Its pretty cool.

I don’t know a lot about this video so I will list the things I do know.

The lady’s name is Ksenia Simonova and she is from Ukraine.

As far as I know this video is from a Ukrainian talent show, and from what I gathered in the 15 minutes researching this, she won.

She draws with sand that is sitting on a back lit table.

That is all I know, enjoy.

This video is awesome, I can’t remember where I saw it first but I have seen it upwards of ten times now and I am still not sick of it. Full screen, High-Def and your favourite drink are recommended.
