Hoppipolla

January 26th 2009 00:33

Sigur Ros are a wonderful and beautiful Icelandic band. Many of their lyrics are not even in a genuine language, but an invented one called Hopelandic, based on Icelandic sounds and open to interpretation.

Hoppippolla though, is predominantly in Icelandic. The title means ‘Jumping In Puddles’. The lyrics reference a group of friends having simple childhood adventures. The film clip porteys this with a childlike group of elders, and is a wonderful piece of film.

Tori Amos – 97 Bonnie and Clyde.

January 23rd 2009 08:05

I find great difficulty in expressing the awesomeness of Tori Amos. Her music is classy, emotional, intense. Her work is… more pretentious than I tend to like. Artistic to the point of pointless. But that’s no thing. It sounds awesome.

One thing about Tori is that she’s a feminist. So as one might be able to simply assume safely, she’s not the biggest supporter of the following song;

Horrified that people were dancing and enjoying music about the murder of a mother, Amos performed her own version of the song, keeping the lyrics essentially the same. In the recorded version, Amos sings from inside a box to give the feeling that she is in the boot of the car – giving voice to the voiceless mother. This here is a recorded live version of the song.

Matt Preskenis is mad

July 18th 2008 07:19

Matt Preskenis is nuts
Matt Preskenis was brought to my attention with the ‘I Am Drugs Series’.



Clearly the man is mad. Not only is he featured as the personification of PCP in the above video, but he wrote all the videos in the I am Drugs series. And it doesn’t end there.
You can find an assortment of Matt Preskenis material over the net. His personal page is here;

His page here also has a piece of information about things Matt likes and doesn’t like. Hopefully he won’t hate me for reproducing this piece verbatim;

If you're going to beg me for money, that's fine.

Hell, you could be my uncle - yeah, that uncle no one in my family talks about until he magically appears every seven years at Christmas...

But even if you're not my uncle, you can ask me for all the money you want.

I may give you some...

I may not...

I have only one comment:

The moment I tell you, "I don't have any money," and you say, "hey, motherfucker, don't make me pull out my gun!", you are no longer begging me for money...

You're robbing me.

This has happened a couple of times.

I know, the world is funny. Call me crazy, but as far as I'm concerned, every time you threaten to shoot me... you're robbing me.

What's funny, is so many times, you don't really have a gun...

And that's just sad.

Now...

I've been robbed.

My friend Alex and I once had a guy stuff a Glock 9mm in my face while we were in search of some late night entertainment in DC, I've had a Polish cop stick an AK-47 in my face until I gave him the equivalent of $27, and I once had a disheveled guy in Houston threaten to pistol-whip me with a Colt 1901 and/or a Heineken bottle and/or some French handcuffs unless I gave him a quarter...

In all of those cases, I coughed up my dough...

But if my bullshit sensors go off, and you say you have a gun, but I KNOW you don't have a gun...

I'll call you out on it.

And you won't know WHAT to say.

Because if you haven't shot me in the thigh by the time I'm laughing at you, you probably won't be shooting me until some time late tomorrow afternoon...

And that's fine with me.

Hell, I'm not fast, but if you give me a good eighteen hours or so? That's plenty of time.

You think I'm kidding, but the last time some random homeless guy threatened me with a non-existent gun (last weekend on Bleecker Street, for anyone keeping track), I got a free chicken kebab out of the whole exchange, after the shop owner realized that I'd solved an entire night's worth of gun-related problems with one quip....

Not a bad deal.

Sad thing was, I was going to give him my change from the kebab.

So there it is. The great Matt Preskenis. If only we could all be like he, writing beautiful prose, kicking invisible gnomes across the land, wandering off into the sunset.

I've made this film clip one day when I was bored - I made the song a few years back using looping software and some sound effects on my computer.

This is the result

Anne Coulter - Nowhere to hide

July 7th 2007 07:12

Anne Coulter, the dear sweet lady who most Australians regard as everything they dislike about Americans lumped into a nice pair of legs, is an extremely good debater. Not because she makes any kind of sense, but rather the lingo to fight off attacks.

In a rare blow to her ability to make shit look like gold, she gets pretty pwned in this clip when John Edwards wife rings up to basically ask her why she needs to be so nasty

OK so it's a little long... but it's well worth a look. This is a piece of Jim Henson goodness from before the Muppet days.

Watch in Horror as an old anti-drug propaganda film becomes putty in the hands of a pair of talented editors.

Warning - contains scenes not for the faint hearted
