Information R/evolution

Really smart, elegant and somewhat optimistic explanation of how we create and share information online.

From the same guy who made this.

look at the size of that thing

A failure, yes. But what a glorious failure it is…

update: I realise this post needs a bit of context.

Explosions In The Sky – Catastrophe and the Cure (Live)

I risk heresy but I really do love Explosions fairly more than Mogwai. That’s chest-swelling, heart-pumping orchestration right there, man. Mogwai’s kinda like the Smashing Pumpkins of the post-rock world now, whilst Explosions are like…. I dunno, themselves.

SNL Digital Short – Iran So Far

Andy Samberg is singlehandedly making SNL great again.

(Ok, and the other Lonely Island guys. And Fred Armisen!!)

Familjen – Det Snurrar I Min Skalle

I love EVERYTHING about this.

Common (feat Lily Allen) – Drivin’ Me Wild

Been meaning to post this for the Viatch; this is my new fall jam. Lily Allen is quite teh adorable.

be hip, or be shot in the head

This is why I love the IT Crowd.

Very timely also, considering the recent Odex saga, the near-Kafkaesque apex of which can be read here.

In case you were wondering about the title of this post, nah.

Spoon – Don’t You Evah

I know I’ve been gone awhile but this is too adorable not to post.

Robots breaking it down! According to Engadget, the kicking robot dancers at the end of the video are Manoi, RB2000 and some Johnny Five pretender. I loves it…

Blonde Redhead – 23

Been faintly obsessed with this song the past couple of days; all soaring vocals and sonic washes.

Some Youtube commentor calls them the new Lush, and I think that’s pretty apt. You should check out the 5 Mike Mills-directed videos, frankly all quite genius.

Flight of the Conchords – The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room

I’m really digging what I’ve been seeing of HBO’s new musical comedy, Flight of the Conchords.

You’re so beautiful; like a tree, or a high-class prostitute.

You’re so beautiful; you could be a part-time model.

Who needs Barry White, man?

P.S.

Sharper-eyed, indieflick-loving readers will recognise Jemaine Clement from Eagle vs Shark.
