Video of the week

I should have realized that you tube is a treasure-trove of terrible student-film projects earlier.




I'll take note that next time I hack my dad's computer with a USB-storage device that i can simply fling blue energy at the robotic drill-laser that comes to life and speaks german.


thank god.

kneel down on white.



Low - Two-Step

and the light, it burns your skin
in a language you don't understand it's not that hard
it is not that hard

that's not all
voices small
heed them either way they call

two-step around the room
kneel down on white
two-step around the room
kneel down on white
two-step around the room
you can kneel down on white
two-step around the room
you can kneel down on white

that's not all
voices small
heed them either way they call

and the light, it burns your skin
in a language you don't understand

it's a thriller alright.


I originally saw an edited version of Lola's sumptious thriller dance on a TVCarnage dvd release. I don't quite remember how I found the full version on youtube, but it's courtesy of Sharpe world.

horrible.

Just give me one sign that you're real.


Tullycraft - The Lonely Life of a UFO Researcher

Wow it's so like wonderful and tremendously twee. Except you know, it's about a bunch of neckbeards listening to SETI transmissions in the dark and crying about the amount of women that they are missing out on laying.

you know, like Jeff Goldblum's character in Independence day. Tune in tomorrow when I find a song that describes his character in the Jurassic Park series.
