HEILDALEY!

My friend Maggie sent this little nugget of goodness to me today to make up for the fact that she included me on the forward list of one of those chain mails that guarantees that "If you send 20 of these emails to your friends, we will send you a brand new Sony Ericksson Laptop!"... clearly a total and complete hoax. Alas, she has more than redeemed herself with this HIGHlarious video re: Chicago's Mayor Daley and the 2016 Olympics. Behold:



More than makes up for it, Mags ;) Let me know when you get your laptop.

KOKIRIKO BUSHI

This clip features an electropop remix of the oldest Japanese song in existence. It is entitled 'Kokiriko Bushi', which loosely translates to Song of the Kokiriko - an ancient Japanese string instrument. Omokada (of Far East Recordings), an electro-pop collective, produced the music. The animation was directed by Teppei Maki. Definitely watch this one in HQ. Perhaps the most haunting moment is at :48 when the antiquated vocals loop into the hard electro sounds. It is creepy in the most bright and shimmery sort of way.

It really butters my toast :o)
