Heh... Video-"Log"...

So, you'd think that I'd be hard-pressed to find something that could follow that stunning piece of media above, but my first clip is more than equal to the task. First up is something that fellow IUP-er and Green Lantern fan Mike R. brought to my attention via Facebook. Whoever took the time to piece this together is The Truest of Fans. If only a GL movie could be as good as the fictional movie that is being 'promoted' here... I get chills when they start reciting The Oath.

TOP. SHELF.



Elvis Perkins in Deerland perform "While You Were Sleeping" on Letterman. Thanks to Rick S. (from my Susky days) for suggesting this artist for my consideration. I find this to be an excellent performance and song. Hope you enjoy, as well.



Have you heard that Everyone Poops? Well, I nearly pooped a little when I was (mis)informed that Spike Jonze was making a movie based on the beloved kid's book. The straightforward little tome holds a special place in my heart because I received it from Big Bro Mark and his wife as a present on my twenty-somethingth birthday. The report of the movie, though, turned out to be just a rumor. It was spawned by the video below, which is merely a clever spoof on the trailer for the upcoming "Where the Wild Things Are" flick. Still worth a peep, tho... (I wonder if Jonze will adapt "The Gas We Pass" instead. He can borrow my copy of that, too, if he needs reference material...)



The following clip was shot the morning after my poor flatmate, Molyneaux, woke up sicker than all hell at like, 4 or 5 in the morning. He then proceeded to hork so loudly in the bathroom that it woke me up. And, being the vomiphobic bastard that I am, I both felt bad for him and hated life for the rest of the day. I was worried I'd get as sick as he had gotten, so I opted against showering in the same bathroom where he had been all morning, yookin' his guts poor, poor guts out. When the time came to head to work, I threw on some clean manties, grabbed a hat, and curtly shouted "I hope you feel better!" on my rushed way out the front door. So I was unhappy, paranoid, tired, grumpy, and smelly when Joe picked up a Flip camera and decided to capture this moment for the ages.



I thoroughly enjoy the above clip because, for anyone who knows me, it's hard for me to keep a straight face for longer than a few seconds, but there is no effort behind this particular stare. I'm not holding back any mirth, and that should be an indicator of how bad things were at that moment. It's really funny, looking back on it. At the time, though, I was clearly not a happy camper.

Moving on...
I. Love. Pandas. Here is an old song of theirs that they no longer play, but I truly enjoy it. For the lyrics and a better explanation than I can provide, read the info that Conor provides on the video's YouTube page. Most of the video clips are outtakes from things he and Jordan have made into some very entertaining sketches, and their outright goofiness in the video clips give the gruff lyrics some genuine tenderness. Dig it.



When Aaron, a friend of ours, needed to make a video for a class presentation, a few of my friends invited me to spend the day with them shooting this for him. Conor deftly cobbled the clips together and gave him this to show his class. Despite the video, he passed the assignment, and now, he reports, his entire class is always saying, "Faaaaantastic!".



And now, here's a NSFW contribution to hilarity. Thanks to Jordan for reminding me that the guy who made "Washington" is still funny as shit.


And finally, this is dedicated to Sis-in-Law Terry, the Tauziest of The Tauz Blaug Faithfuls (but don't hold that against her...it's only by marriage). She will definitely appreciate this one. Remember, back in the day, when we played this during Poker Nights at my old place, thanks to Molyneaux's video discs? He rules for finding this Pokemon video cut to the ever-frenetic sounds of the band Mindless Self Indulgence. Best Part: *Motherfucker!* You'll know it when you hear it...
