Electrick Children

My friend Rebecca Thomas made a movie
It just got accepted to the Berlin Film Festival.

I think that is kind of a big deal.

Those Were The Days.

I think this is my favorite commercial I have seen in a very very long time.

Apparently this commercial has been banned in Zimbabwe, where they actually have Nandos. I think that was probably expected.

Melancholia

I watched Melancholia this weekend. I'm not ready to talk about it yet, but I re-watched the Prologue on Youtube



It's pretty incredible.

Also, inexplicably this turns up in the related videos. Not sure why but I am glad it was there. A;so, I really need that record player they use at the beginning. NEED.

Nemias

This is Nemias. He works at the company I work for and helps me shoot product photos. I decided to take a quick snapshot of him.

Trentemoller

Oh my goodness. This! How did it take me so long to find it. Thank you Almodovar!

I cried and cried and cried and cried.

I still cannot find a scene in a movie that makes me cry quicker. Man I remember exactly how it felt to watch this as a four year old.


My wife is sick and tired and lying in bed. This is how sad I am that she is sick and sad. :(

This car commercial is mesmerizing. I love it.

Chairlift - Sidewalk Safari

I am obsessed with this song. I think that little riff (The One you hear first at just after a minute into the song) on whatever instrument they are playing has been stuck in my head for weeks and weeks and weeks.

Today, for my birthday, I want somebody to tell me what this is

It is simply too good to just be random. Are they selling knives and swords?
Maybe these guys grew up and got some help

like they needed it.

Meloncholly and the infinite autumn

It's getting all gloomy and snowy outside, which means it's time for some Bon Iver.


But really, what I want is people to recommend some good music to get me through the Fall/Winter.

Also, this isn't very Fall-y, but I think I am going to try to bypass winter and fall meloncholly weather by listening to Spring/Summer music and M83 is going to be what I try first.



Also, in the last two weeks I have seen Neon Indian and barely missed Phantogram both playing at the Urban Lounge. So, maybe this Fall and Winter won't be so bad if the good shows keep on coming. But, please send me your musics to get me through this fall/winter.

David Bowie I love You (Since I was Six)

I actually think this is better than the original. I am reserving the right to use it in a movie someday.

Arches

Laura and I went to Arches National Park this weekend. That place is surreal. Here is most of what we did.

Scary

The Tree of Life

I went to LA last weekend to be on Venice Beach for the rapture. Sadly, it didn't happen.

Had I gone this week, I could have seen this film, which I think is probably better than the real rapture would have been, anyway.

She's my favorite thing by far.

The promenade was Isaac Bickmore and his dear mother singing this.



It was kind of the most beautiful thing ever.
It's Called "(David Bowie I love You) Since I was Six"
She renamed it (David Bisson I Love You) Since I was Sixteen, which is how old we both were when we met.

Does she love you, you suppose
With somebody who would know
Who believes in what you are
You're my favorite thing by far

There's a fire in your eyes
I see it all sometimes
In the darkness of the night
I see it many times
Yes I'm sure it shines in you

There's no warm place left to go
When I'm feeling kind of slow (slow down sir)
Do you like the way you are
Yes it is, 'cause you're the star


It's the brightness in your eyes
I see it all tonight
In the darkness of my light

Bjork talks with her hands

Many people use their hands to add special emphasis when they speak. Nobody does it like Bjork.

Hey Ya!

Sometimes I forget about this song

and then I remember it and I am like, "Yeah, I remember that song."

Robot Fights

Japanese Robot Fight


American Robot Fight


I have to admit, though, if that Japanese robot gets that suplex down they'll give the other robots some trouble.

My Nephew decided to help out the victoms of the japanese earthquake.

I love being alive right now

Groundhog Day

I think I posted this last year on this day, but I am too lazy to check.  What a difference a day makes.  Laura doesn't like this movie.  That always bothered me until this morning when she told me it was because she was forced to watch it so many times as a kid.  That seems reasonable, I think.  All is well once again. 

My New Years resolutions

1. Quit drinking soda (even diet soda... apparently it stops your eyes from working and makes lesions in your brain parts.)

2. Get married

3. Get a better job

4. Stop being late

Ah, yes. And as I said, I am halfway to number two with this young lady

And I am all the way obsessed with this song
