Friday Videos - Feb 21st, 2020

posted February 21, 2020 #

For reasons beyond my comprehension, my day job is requiring me to format my computer today and start fresh. Something to do with policy installations and remote wiping and a bunch of other stuff that generally furrows my brow but also not something I can make even the smallest debate about. Wish me luck, formatting is the worst.

I've been doing better about not posting about every single We Own This Town podcast that is released but if you haven't heard the latest Hott Minute, Nashville Demystified and TNDP episodes, you're doing yourself a disservice.

On to the, much needed, distractions!
  • New Wave Nashville - in 1983, local news Channel 4 ran a four-part series about New Wave music coming to Nashville. It's... well intentioned. It's also filled with VHS imagery like the above GIF where Nashville New Wavers are really strutting their stuff.
  • The Strokes - At The Door - while not as upbeat and immediately grabbing as their other single, I was really impressed with this video. Multiple storylines across with a fantastic animation style. Loved it.
  • He-Man & She-Ra Fan Game - look, I don't care about He-Man. I'm 41 years old and my nostalgia only runs so deep. However, this is a fan made game. I'm just sort of blown away this is possible.
  • Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk Star Trek Deepfake - burying the lede this week, this is unbelievable.
  • Dog Thing - yep, still love stupid videos and would be on board for 10 hours of this.
  • A cat thinks long before hitting a dog - the anticipation is perfection.
