Larry and Steve

Once upon a time in 1997, Seth McFarlane worked for Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. Before Family Guy was called Family Guy, it was a seven minute short called “Larry & Steve”,



Weird

Inframan!

"Made in Super 8 by the late Rev. David Boone in 1980, this is one truly SubGenius film!"
INVASION OF THE ALUMINUM PEOPLE!

imagery, strange strange

So while the rest of these slobs have no excuse for not posting, I do. Been in Alabama recording an album with Ralph "Soul" Jackson and it was completely insane. I'll be posting pictures and a chronicle of the experience soon ... right now I am still catching up with work ...

in the meantime ...

Cool pictures of skyscrapers under construction.

this one's for The Pimpernel ... Catholic Girls performing their song "Young Boys", 1980


Dee D. Jackson, "Automatic Lover", 1978


Bank tellers of the 80s perform interpretive dance! oh no wait, its Lipps Inc performing their hit "Funkytown" live ... crap this is a weird one


Who knew institutional genocide could be so sexy!? Orlando Riva Sound, "Indian Reservation", 1979 ... from the same show as above. Think it's a German Disco program.


Whoa! This is cool ... The Spotnicks, "Rocket Man", 1962

I've used footage from this documentary for my own A/V projects as it's killer stuff!


most of these clips via 60s-man. a weird Russian Livejournal blog I stumbled upon. NSFW!

Soul!

Patrick linked me with this ....

This entertainment-variety-talk show was not only a vehicle to promote African-American artistry, community and culture, but also a platform for political expression and the fight for social justice. It showcased classic live musical performances from funk, soul, jazz, and world musicians, and had in-depth, extraordinary interviews with political, sports, literary figures and more. It was the first program on WNET to be recorded with the then-new technology of videotape, and most of the shows were recorded in real-time—not live, but unedited.

SOUL!

Gross

You get what you deserve for eating at BK. The beautiful part of this video is the ineptness of whomever is in charge of blurring out people's faces.

Phat beatz on Sesame Street

I'm holding out for Quantum Leap 2020

Dear Hollywood:

A few months ago, I saw the Speed Racer movie and it was surprisingly good.

But since then, I notice that there are a lot of things happening.

Some of them good. Some of them bad. Some of them just weird

Dear Hollywood, please make less movies about cool shit I've already seen. It was cool and I loved it then, but right now I really need to see a movie about the dude who played Jesus coming from the future to fight dragons in the past.

Love,
Bogardus

Best Advice Ever

This video made me crap my pants with happiness

just as bad as the rest of these slobs

but check this out ... happened to be in a position to watch the daily show the other day and caught this ... jon stewart really tears a new one into former undersecretary of defense douglas feith ... he just wrote a book and insists that there was no intentional misleading of the american public in the months before the invasion of the war ... his tenacity is impressive, but he talks like he has been brainwashed by fox news ... jon stewart doesn't shy away from asking him some real questions and not taking his bullshit answers seriously ...



here's part 2

robot monster ... dog

there is something truly disturbing about this ... but i don't know what



sorry for my hiatus the last couple days, just been too busy ... plus working on some projects to be revealed in the near future ... mwahaha ...

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RECORD STORE!!!!!!!!!!

while i love chicago and good reps of it, i can't take kanye anymore.
seriously, everytime i see him make one of the two expressions he can make (pissed) and (precocious) i wanna smack whatever pair of stunna shades he has on off his lop sided head. and on top of that, every record i've heard of his has successively more and more samples that are instantaneously recognizable. DIG DEEPER KID!!! its easy to make a "hit" with a sample from MJ's PYT cause MJ's PYT IS THE MUFFUGGIN JAM!!!

anyway, here's a really cool video ... off erykah's new album ... helps if you're into records ... plus i think madlib did some production on it ... not on this track though ...

Maybe We Could Start Again

Homogenate: a chaotic slurry of tissues and cells which results when cell-tissue structure has been mechanically disrupted. (as opposed to by chemical means).

Bestiality or Farming?

Remind me to never become a farmer in Africa

... yes, but is it art ?

spam.
the scourge of all people who use email as a major conduit of communication.

brent gustafson is an american video artist who uses video games as not only a form of inspiration but as a sort of base medium. he lent a piece to the gallery i work for last summer as part of a group show entitled "Gameplay: Video Games in Contemporary Art Practice". the piece was R.I.G. a "video of three games played simultaneously through one video connection." pretty cool. but the piece i really like is entitled AXBX and is a web based work. around the time this show was up i started collecting the strange gif attachments i was receiving in my spam. i have long been a fan/hater of spam. i hate the volume, but love the sometimes beautifully strange messages that are fabricated. i started collecting these gifs with the intention of doing some kind of collage or visual project with it. after studying AXBX, i saw an easy way to apply the new computer graphic structure to this style of presentation. unfortunately this trend of strange gif attachments seem to be out of vogue in the world of spammers and i'm worried that i will not be able to continue building the catalog of images it draws from. so as strange a request as this might sound, if anyone comes across really strange image attachments in their spam, send em my way.

so here 'tis.

I drink it from my ba-ba

WHAT? No i will NOT put down the colorforms! Who do you think you are?!

You don't KNOW ME, you don't play in my park. I will shove my foot so far up your ass you will be tasting Velcro for weeks.

I AM using my INSIDE VOICE.

Fine! Fuck it, I'm out.

Where the hell is my Big Wheel? You better tell me where you moved that shit, asshole. And if I don't find my backpack in the cubby-hole where I left it, Spongebob as my witness, I will choke you with your own paste.

THE COPS?!?!! Are you kidding me?!

You mainstream that spaz Jake over there, but I decide to have a little fun before nap time and you call the Fuzz?!

Ahh no, Jake buddy....No, no Jake come on I didn't mean it. I'm sorry man. Really sorry man. Somebody get over here and unhook his harness so I can give him a hug.


See, isn't that better. This is nice Jake, huh?

Man I'm sorry you guys. You're just looking out for me.

Hey JESSICA! Remember how on Hundred Day we BOTH brought in 100 Cheerios in a ziplock. Yea, that was awesome.

Man.

I love you guys.
