superchunk rules!

One of the better things about the 90's was a little band called Superchunk (whose re-union I missed last year at the Metro in Chicago because I was in California, but we won't talk about that right now...or ever again).Superchunk was catchy noise pop at it's finest. they just don't make pop music like this anymore...Yes I am aware that the previous statement makes me sound old! Enjoy some superchunk on me! AGAIN... don't say that I never gave you anything!

SUPERCHUNK - Hyper Enough

SUPERCHUNK - Precision Auto

AND FINALLY
A great live clip of Superchunk playing "waterwings" from the "like a fool" record (their best imo)
man that mac can sure bounce around... goodtimes!

banksy paints the israel/palestine wall

The previous post before this about the banksy record got me fired up on his efforts in painting the Israel/Palestine wall. I think these are all of the paintings from his effort there. The post before this one has some video footage of this whole ordeal....check it!

banksy on wax yall !




The more popular an artist or band gets, it becomes more uncool to like them... say what you want about banksy, but when was the last time you braved bullets in the West Bank to put up art on the Israel/Palestine Border? That's what I thought....
Anyways...the company I am working for at the moment is selling some limited edition Banksy Records. Not sure if he made the tunes (which is a breakbeat record that also includes a mental laughing track lock groove) . It comes in a few different color sleeves (pictured above)... if you feel so inclined you can pick up this sure to be collectors edition vinyl here!

Here is some footage of Banksy in the West Bank


If you are not familiar with Banksy... He is a famous British Graffiti Artist who primarily works with stencil art. Here are a few glimpses into his work:

more stop motion: human tetris

OK so this video probably does not need to be 2:38 long but it is. I do like to think about these people sitting around for hours most likely to make these videos. The guy who does the "music" is pretty comical as well.

the future of television advertising

The Bullshit Observer has an interesting article on the current state of television advertising. I couldn't agree more... Read the article here.

Q. How do you solve the current housing crisis in the U.S.A.? A: Build Treehouses

This is awesome...A German company called baumraum builds tree houses like these... Don't even act like you don't want one. Seriously... the builders who are getting forced out of business all across American should get crafty and do stuff like this... WHY THE HELL NOT???
