Slander by Trash Talk

An animated video for a punk band I’ve never heard of directed and animated by Jim Dirschberger the same guy who worked on Bob’s Burgers.

Dreamer/Dubstep

I’ve posted stuff by this guy before. Ignore all the set up and outro, this guy has some awesome dance moves… and on the Great Wall of China at that. Sweet!

Shit NOBODY Says

Ok. The “Shit _____ Says” phenomenon was overplayed almost immediately, but this pretty much seals the deal. Funniest on I’ve seen since the original.

Spidey vs. the Yeti

I loved these as a kid, and they were some of my first comics I ever owned. There are a ton more of these in related videos.

Collin’s Lab: Atari Punk Console

OK. This thing sounds awesome. I wish I had the circuit-tech bendy skills to make something like this.

Icy Brinicle reaches down to freeze fleeing starfish

Nature is soooo cool. It’s like the icy hand of god reaching down to smite Spongebob and Patrick.

Anderson Cooper has never seen Redi-Whip before

Is this because he was a rich kid growing up or because he’s spent too much time in Rwanda? Either way he gets very excited about it.

Kitten Wrestling

No one ever went to prison for THIS, Michael Vick!

1000 piece stick bomb

over and over in a variety of speeds and directions. Wheee!

Aside from all the posturing, this video is really neat!

Hey! Faak Uuuuuu!

Love it.

Painting a bowl

Strap a spray can to the bottom of your board and skate the bowl. Nice patterns emerge. Well executed.

Christopher Walken reads The Three Little Pigs

Also dig that Cosby sweater.

Like many other bands that I’m a fan of, I learned about Devo through Weird Al. There was a snippet of Jocko Homo in the Polka on 45 mix on the Weird Al in 3-D album. I didn’t really know who Devo was when I first heard it, but when Weird Al released the Dare to Be Stupid pastiche a few years later, I knew I had to seek them out.

I bought my first Devo cassette (Q and A) at Happy’s flea Market in Roanoke VA when I was in high school and it rocketed to the top of my play list. I then bought all the Devo I could find, first on cassette, then on vinyl, then on CD and beyond.

How would I have been able to tell my high school fanboy self that in 20 years, I’d be shaking hands and shooting the shit with one of my musical and creative heroes at an art show in LA? It’s inconceivable and yet here is the photo proof!

Mark was super cool to talk to and even though we only chatted for a couple of minutes, there was no sense of pretense. We were just a couple of guys with pieces in the same art show.

Here’s a blurry shot of mine:

and his:

no. never mind. do NOT watch this video. you won’t be able to make it through to the end. I only made it to 1:15 and then had to turn it off. This video has 5 stars and only 1,095 viewers.

really. don’t watch this.
