Friday Videos - July 7th, 2017

posted July 7, 2017 #

I mentioned this on Twitter but before you dive into your deluge of Friday Videos, please take a moment to read this Naomi Klein interview that The AV Club posted recently. I get worn down by the daily barrage of awful news stemming from our country these days but Klein does a phenomenal job of articulating how we got here and how it continues to happen. They only ask her a handful of questions and she really runs with it in the most rewarding way.

I know politics are depressing so let this list of videos be your cleanser.
  • Can Stomper - this Letterman appearance of Line Dancing fused with Can Stomping is entrancing. Thanks to Geoff for helping me unearth.
  • Country Hip Hop - I also stumbled on this horrible instructional video. It's longer than your attention span but worth a scrub.
  • John Wick is Michael Jackson - I watched this and thought it was impressively stupid. Then I watched it again. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it and watched it again. Still stupid but worth a romp.
  • Eid Mubarak Dance - sometimes the Internet delivers the perfect gift.
  • Garth Brooks on Facebook - Cringe videos are all the rage. Never forget this 2014 missive from Chris Gaines.
  • What Year Is It? - a promo video for this rather bizarre 17776 art piece from SB Nation on Sports in the future. I'm not sure what to make of it but the video is oddly engaging.
  • Bigger than a Train Horn - I can't explain it but this guy has outfitted his truck with various train and ship horns. He drives to isolated areas and records them being played. It's a massive sound and a seemingly bizarre hobby. But who am I to judge? I loved watching it.
  • Bjork DJ Set - here's 9 minutes of Bjork being a totally regular, normal person but in the best Bjork way possible, DJing a party and dancing in full Bjork gear.
