Friday Videos - April 8th, 2016

posted April 8, 2016 #

One week into April and one week closer to the May 1st Reboot. The heat is on! I've got so many other great things to announce as well. The spring and summer are going to be filled with new goods around here and I'm excited for it.
  • Ray Parker Junior - Bustin - this strange edit of the RPJ classic only gets better the further in you get. Find out just exactly how "Bustin" makes him feel.
  • Rogue One Trailer - I admit enjoying the teaser for the forthcoming Star Wars expanded universe title but I'm really loving the immediate remixes. The Internet loves to focus on one fickle thing, huh?
  • Swiss Army Man - I posted about this earlier in the week but if you haven't watched the trailer for DANIELS new movie I suggest you do so now, it's a weirdness worth knowing about.
  • Run and Run - even if you're no fan of hip-hop / J-Pop, take a moment to watch this on your phone. How has no one done this yet? Pretty brilliant.
  • SNL: Trendy Restaurant - the joke may be immature but it works.
  • Generic Campaign Ad - the Dissolve took a bunch of stock footage and created a generic campaign ad. It works alarmingly well, particularly the very middle bit. Stick with it.
  • Memories of Paintings - Chad tuned me in to this video and I can't stop staring at it. Mesmerizing and absolutely beautiful.
  • Legs and Devices - this is supposedly a music video for Carl Finlow but the video was released in 2016, the EP in 2002 and the video material itself in the 70's. Despite all that, it's a nice matchup.
If you require further distraction, I will once again recommend /r/youtubehaiku as it contines to provide some quality nonsense.
