Sugar water showers

I was listening to Cibo Matto today for the first time in a while.  Viva La Woman has a great video for Sugar Water by Michel Gondry that I had to watch again when that song came on:

 

Fire Extinguisher vs Flame Thrower

I found this video on Today and Tomorrow.  When I was 15 I strapped two bottle rockets together to effect a bottle rocket tug-of-war.  They were too close though and essentially just exploded.  This is the same type of this vs that fight that every 15 year old has probably dreamed about:

Remind me

I had three different mixes of this song on repeat last night while I worked on a Burningman project. I don't get that obsessive over songs that much, but I was really enjoying it and it was good to work with. Plus its sung by Erlend �ye of Whitest Boy Alive and Kings of Convenience, who I've always enjoyed.

I found the video for it today and now its even that much more awesome. I love how the details fall into place around the action, suggesting purpose, intent and meaning through purely analytical representations of the world. Its so similar to the Slagsm�lsklubben video that I have to think it was made by the same people.

Take 4 minutes out of your day and watch.  Happy Friday!

Some fireworks and Toro y Moi.  Happy 4th of July!

Strong Reaction

Continuing with the theme of 90's Chicago punk, here's Pegboy's Strong Reaction which seems to have almost exactly the same video as the Naked Raygun song.  I guess when you're angry, you want to express yourself in black and white, throwing yourself off the stage and vandalizing property:

Feeling a little of my Chicago roots today with the early '90 punk band Naked Raygun:

Bomb's going off in my head

For some reason this Of Montreal song has been on continuous repeat inside my brain.
