Wet Washcloth In Space – What Happens When You Wring It?
The Flaming Lips & Bon Iver – Ashes In The Air
while i like the song a lot, i’ll admit i like the new video for the the flaming lips and bon iver collaboration, “ashes in the air” a little less though not quite as much less as some including the stereogum reviewer who writes, “The clip tells the inspirational story of a spaceman with a Residents-esque glowing psychedelic eyeball head who (spoiler alert) murders a baby by feeding it through a meat grinder. Also, the baby has a singing grown-up’s face projected on its own face. The video also stars a bunch of ripped-open naked people and exposed brain matter. It’s not remotely safe for work, and I can’t really imagine any situation in which anybody might want to watch it. it did remind me to go back and finish watching the pitchfork classic “oral history” of one of my favorite albums, “the soft bulletin”. i love listening to those guys talk about their craft. the ending is just perfect.
Surfaces: A Vermont Skateboarding Adventure
of course this cool vermont skateboarding adventure video is going to open with an apt quote from emerson, “We live amidst surfaces, and the true art of life is to skate well on them.” but i watch the video and all i can think of is black flies. ’cause there’s nothing like a black fly swarm to ruin all your new england outdoorsy fun.
the coolest slinky slow-mo that you’ll see all day
maybe you’re thinking you’ve seen all there is to see when it comes to slinkys. you’ve seen the slinky on an escalator and the epic slinky on a treadmill and think to yourself, “what else could there be to satisfy my slinky video fix?” do not miss, awesome hd slinky slow-mo video wherein you learn that the physics of a falling slinky is probably a lot weirder than you imagined.

music to run by
as i start to think about getting serious about training for the chicago marathon thoughts of music to listen to while running come to mind. i think i might just put the new the Flaming Lips and prefuse 73 collaboration, Supermoon Made Me Want to Pee on continuous loop ( in awe of the Flaming Lips’ ability after all these years to still make great music that wants to take over my brain and make me play it 24 hours a day. ). and maybe i’ll throw in Carrie Manolakos’ creep cover every so often.
Perpetual Ocean [hd video]
quite possibly the coolest visualization of the world’s ocean surface currents from June 2005 through Decmeber 2007 that you’ll see all day. go to svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/goto?3827 for the full 20 minute(!) video and hi-res image downloads. stunning.
