More nerds and with their toys and some rock and roll. This is cool not only because of whatever that thing is that is playing the melody ( anybody know? ) But because these think geek dweebs have one of these in their office. Why was this not invented in 1982? I would have totally had one!

Be sure and watch the making of video. It’s a rube’s goldberg machine on steroids.
Also this video was brought to you outside of the EMI umbrella via State Farm ( insurance people) which makes it very embeddable

I’m just getting caught up with the past few weeks but. This is hot. As a wise man once said “If you think it’s tough now.. Come to Africa”.

THE BPA ‘TOE JAM’ FEAT. DAVID BYRNE & DIZZEE RASCAL

Fatboy Slim (as Brighton Port Authority) and David Byrne (along with Dizzee
Rascal as guest rapper) have released a great video (full of blackedout
boobs and dongs) to go along with their new single “Toe Jam.” I think the
idea of Fat Boy Slim and David Byrne working together is genius. The
youngs should learn from the olds whenever possible. And there are much,
MUCH worse collaborations out there, as evidenced by this top ten worst
duets ever that I’ve put together below. Even worse is that everyone knows
that when artists collaborate they always, ALWAYS have sex after.

Another country heard from in the long list of Justice D.A.N.C.E. remixes. This video from last summer’s 100 Miles And Running mixtape from Fools Gold’s DJ Nick Catchdubs. Wale is coming from D.C by way of Mark Ronson’s AllIdo by way of Interscope records. And we know sometimes Interscope doesn’t always handle hip hop well.

Great cameo in the video by Harold and his Purple Crayon.

Congratulations Santogold is Brooklyn’s Bjork,( kinda like I am the black Brad Pitt). Santogold has decided she is going to be an artist and not just a charicature of an brooklyn indie princess. This video ( directed by who? ) clearly shows she is going to push the enevelop of what is acceptable for women in hip hop to be portray as. Horse? Check. Uniformed sycronzied dancers? Check. Post apocolyptic smoke? oh yeah. And more vibrant crayola colored explosions, throw up, squibs and disembowlments than you can ask for in a 3 minute video!!! It’s kind of like the video I wish I made when I was 15 instead of spendng all my money on dime bags.

When the f**k did this happen? Kanye, Lupe, and Pharrell on a track? Oh and why not slip in the omnipotent Thom Yorke on the hook! Then drop a video with Jr. High representations of all of em, directed by L.E.S hottie Va$htie. DAMN. All of this makes me really reconsider what the end result of the Glow In The Dark Tour will be. What I like about this already is that it is not all over the radar.

Here’s your new ringtone! Kid Sister seems to be occupying a great deal of my time.

Current TV does that All Eyez thing that they do so well again with My Morning Jacket. It’s a video shot at Lollapalooza 2007 for the song ” Gideon” shot by the audience. ( User Generated Content- Get it?) . It would have been cool to see a this with a song from the new record alas this was shot last year. Nice touch adding kids playing the strings.

New Feist video ” I Feel It All” . All one take and the back up dancer’s have been replaced with syncronzied pyro-technics.
