Eight Videos
Another week, another playlist. As usual, there are some true gems and some potential misses that I still find amusing for whatever reason. Enjoy and don't miss the bonus videos.
  • Salsa Dog - this clips rivals Sexophone for Most Loopable Clip I've encountered in a long time.
  • Snowbot - an old Staples commercial that Paul reminded me of. The "weeping weeping" part is perfect.
  • Milky the Marvelous Milking Cow - just be happy you don't get this for Christmas
  • The Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody - most Christmas music is crap. This song is an exception to that rule. You can also watch Brendan Benson cover it.
  • Gang of Four - Kinect Sports - does anyone else find it bizarre that a Gang of Four song with lyrics like this is being used to sell an XBox add-on? I realize it's more acceptable these days to license your music to just about anything but it seems like a really odd combo.
  • Double Dream Hands - the narration for the moves involved with this dance are sublime. The crank to shoulder is my favorite; though, obviously, Double Dream Hands is the real draw.
  • The Thing That Happened - I can't explain why this exists or what the point really is but I was captivated the entire time. via Tromant.
  • All of Billy Joel's Greatest Hits Played At Once - you will not be able to listen to more than 30 seconds of this. In fact, I'd venture to say you won't make it past the 10 second mark.
BONUS
  • Evolution - incredible animation showcasing evolution (and selling Pilot erasable writing utensils). Seriously fantastic - via Jed.
  • The External World - trailer for upcoming David O'Reilly film. If you don't have a macabre sense of humor, this will not be the least bit amusing to you. Fortunately, I do and it is. via Chad.
  • Miracles Club - five minute dance party worth a scrub through just to see if you can figure out why there is a goat there. via Paul.
Have a great weekend.. let's do this again next week.
