randomSo, I was reminded at beable's party last night that I had not actually posted the OK Go Rube Goldberg video of awesomeness, which I had promised a few weeks ago that I would do. So, for those who haven't seen it yet, there is no world in which this is not worth four minutes of your time:
This post got catalyzed and expanded today, whenemceeaich posted some videos from Pomplamoose, a duo who do what they call video-songs, following two basic principles:
1 - What you see is what you hear: The takes shown on the video are the takes in the audio track.
2 - There are no hidden sounds: If it's on the audio track, it's on the video track at some point.
I absolutely love how they do this. They've got both original songs, but they're also finishing up an album of cover songs, some of which are fascinating. Their version of Michael Jackson's Beat It is actually really good, while I love their version of Beyonce's All The Single Ladies for the sheer ironic deconstruction, and the fact that they don't at all hide their contempt for the original song.
Finally, in sort of decreasing order of ironic posting, I'm just loving Frightened Rabbit's new album, and if you're not familiar with them, you should watch the video for their new single.
