Eye Candy

Last Donut of the Night from Tuomas Vauhkonen on Vimeo.
Part of the Stone's throw music video contest a previous entry was posted as part of this Eye Candy. Man this one for, "Light Works," from the same competition is amazing as well. Such a sucker for that style. I am really glad that a lot of design and animation is going back to that look.  Always loved this song too.

Peanut Butter Wolf and Michael Rapaport shopping in Amoeba records. This little video is done in part to promote the A Tribe Called Quest documentary, "Beats Rhymes and Life," that Rapaport directed and PB Wolf served as the music supervisor on. I will be checking this out in Berkeley tonight. Check out the official site to see if it's playing near you.

R.I.P. Andrew Gold and Leftovers

R.I.P. Andrew Gold.  Thank you for being a pal and a confidant.  I know everyone is probably going the route of quoting your catchiest most themesongiest song, but I truly mean it.  *Pours out prune juice*  I am sort of confused as to why this song is a part of my childhood. Was it normal for young boys to watch, "The Golden Girls?" "Murder She Wrote," "Matlock?" That sounds like a 78 year old's dvr and I was probably seven. However it happened this song wormed it's way into my youth, it carried me all the way through college...seriously have you ever just randomly put this song on when you are with a group of people? Well maybe you should, I also recommend "Moving Right Along" by Kermit and Fozzie. Andrew Gold was a genius.  That's how you write a theme song, take note you other Jingle crafters.

Just for fun here is, "Moving Right Along."



Damn I want to see this. I am not sure I can think of anyone I know who would say they don't like Tribe. I heard Tip had issues with this documentary. Unsure what the beef is about, but it looks interesting and I will be checking it our for sure. Nice job Remy, I'm glad you didn't just become an engineer.



I saw this video the other day and no it was not at a gay 90's dance party, for your information it was at a hawaiian bbq place, or was it both? "S'cuse me boys, I'm just here for the musubi, hey are Y'all playing a Genyouwine video? Scooch." *Sits on couch with spam nusubi* Anyway it struck me that I did not remember the setting of this video. Did anyone else remember that this video takes place in a Country Western Bar? I may have been too entranced by Ginuwine's bodyrolls/butterfly as a kid to notice.

The Black Keys - Howlin' For You - Directed By Chris Marrs Piliero from Chris Marrs Piliero on Vimeo.

I really liked the last Black Keys album, "Brothers." Here is a video for their song off of that album, "Howlin' For You." It's shot to look like a Robert Rodriguez Grindhouse style trailer. I would prefer just the song, no narration or dialogue, but it's well produced at least.

Free music from Rocky Rivera. I haven't given it a listen yet, but I grabbed it because, well it was free, what's the worst that could happen? If you would like, you can grab her free mixtape, "Pop Killer" right here.
