Friday Videos - Mar 21, 2025

If you ever find yourself needing a quick pick-me-up, just cruise on over to Giphy and look at the skeleton tag - delights abound.

Let's get to it:

• The Severance Theme sounds SICK on Classical Guitar ... - can't deny it, it does sound sick.
• Gou Miyagi - Heroin's Video Nasty - even if you do not consider yourself a fan of skate videos, please watch this. There is so much delightful absurdity woven in here that it's impossible not to appreciate.
• Pioneer LaserDisc logos in Space - been spending some time with the Audio Visual Identity Database and running across gems like this one.
• The Fibrovisor - turning a dollar store fiber optic wand into an actual lo-res display. The end result is quite neat but the process to get there is unfathomable. The patience required! Remarkable little project.
• George Harrison 1992 "Taxman" - some rehearsal footage for an MTV performance at Shepperton Studios. I don't claim to know much of the history of this clip but I love the alternate lyrics and seeing members of The Heartbreakers playing with him.
• ULTIMATE SOUR MILK SEA MASH-UP (2025) - speaking of Harrison, "Sour Milk Sea" was a Esher demo from him, properly recorded by Jackie Lomax (with multiple Beatles backing him up) and now subject to a lot of Beatles fans using AI tools to create new versions. It's a fascinating mashup and a very fun rabbit hole to explore.
• Daffy in Wackyland - I swore I posted this previously but maybe not! I don't consider myself much of a Daffy Duck cartoon watcher but the style and manic energy of this is undeniable. It's like Claymation Beetlejuice, Ren-and-Stimpy, Sifl and Olly Show, Gumby and Memphis Group design vibes got thrown in a blender and put back together in the best possible way.
