Back to work

Music, Pals, Video, ,

My brief break between jobs was restful and fun. Rode my bike every day, exercised every day, and had some fun adventures. Not a bad time, but I’m ready to start a new, longer adventure at work in my new job. I’ll be doing Product Development at a new company. I’ll be doing a lot of the same sorts of work, but I’ll have the backing to really push for more change.

I usually like to post videos, but I’m so excited by this collaboration. Run the Jewels is Killer Mike & El-P. It’s awesome and it’s totally free. Go to the FoolsGold website and download it now.

Here’s a video by A-Trak, also on FoolsGold.

Wire & Plastic & Flashing Lights

How’d that video get made?

Professor Kliq was a music student at the University of Chicago. He released a couple of albums under a Creative Commons license so that people could feel free to copy them and use the music without having to ask his permission. It’s worked out well for him – he’s gotten gigs doing soundtracks, gotten invited to do concerts, received donations, all without a major label backing him. When Chris Acton and I were doing the Hope for Hotties movie, Professor Kliq was an easy choice for the soundtrack.

Victor Hagelin is a french speaking animator. No idea how he found the track, but he just made a video for it. He didn’t ask permission or negotiate for the rights – he just made it, because Creative Commons works.

And then Professor Kliq got worked up and remastered the track to bring it up to date, and that’s how we get Wire and Flashing Lights:

Do Not Touch – celebrating the death of the pointer

I like music videos that can’t be on MTV. The new web enables new art, and that’s what I’m interested in.
Light Light Video - cursors stay in the green zone

You should go listen and participate in this crowd-sourced video for Light Light’s new song Do Not Touch.

You will interact, you will be part of it. Go now – and I’ll be part of the video with you. We’ll play a game, we’ll be a mask, we’ll fight a boxer, together we will make a smile. One of those pointers is mine!

See you on the internet…

Daler Mehndi – TUNAK TUNAK TUN

Music, Video, , , ,

Oh, I laughed at it the first time I saw this video.

Some sort of captain-planet style arrangement of Daler Mehndi meteorite brothers dancing in a CGI hellscape?

Years later, I’m still listening to the damn thing. It was my first Pandora station.
Not just me. Here’s a metal version.

And here’s your soundtrack for your lunch hour: 1 hour and 30 minutes of Tunak Tunak Tun.
