nifty sheilas

Here's something my place of business put together for a panel of judges for the ANDY Awards, which met in Sydney last week. So just keep in mind that this was played for some of the most respected people in advertising worldwide.

pop!

This just looks fucking cool. Shot at 10,000 frames per second.

four capital letters

Here's the new video for "DVNO" by Justice. It's pretty similar to their "D.A.N.C.E." video, with just a series of designs. But it's pretty cool nonetheless. Kind of like some sort of retro 70s/80s futuristic "Subterranean Homesick Blues".

DMC-12

I can't stop listening to Stainless Style, a new album by Neon Neon, which is a side project for both Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals and Boom Bip. It's a concept album about John DeLorean, famous for designing the Pontiac GTO, bangin' Ursula Andress and Raquel Welch, successfully accusing the U.S. government of entrapment, and, of course, the DMC-12, as seen in Back to the Future.

Here's a music video for the song "I Lust U", which is actually one of my least favourite songs on the album. Nice video though.



And finally, here's a lovely video about the first shipment of DMC-12s from 1981.

the dying animal

Here are a few scenes from Elegy, a new movie based on Philip Roth's The Dying Animal. I enjoyed the book, but it's definitely far from his best. Interesting choice to make into a movie.

And apparently American Pastoral is in pre-production, which is exciting. That could be an amazing movie, or a colossal failure. The film adaptation of The Human Stain was mediocre. Of the two other books that have been made into movies, I've only see one. Goodbye, Columbus is pretty decent, but extremely dated. I haven't seen Portnoy's Complaint. It's hard to find and only available on VHS.

there will be milkshakes

Pretty stupid, but nicely done.
