Halloween Video: Don’t Look in the Mirror
Friday, October 5th, 2012Halloween Videos: Freaky the Scary Snowman
Thursday, October 4th, 2012With the Halloween season upon us, I thought I’d start sharing some seasonal videos. Here’s one of an amusingly scary prank snowman, even though it won’t be cold enough for snow in Austin for a few months (if then).
Shoegazer Sunday: Thrushes’ “Crystal”
Sunday, September 30th, 2012And the Thrushes kick continues with “Crystal”!
Shoegazer Sunday: Thrushes’ “Heartbeats”
Sunday, September 9th, 2012Thrush is a relatively new band out of Baltimore. They sound a bit like Jesus and Mary Chain by way of Ride and Slowdive, with maybe a bit of Mazzy Star.
George Méliès: A Second Helping
Thursday, August 30th, 2012I’m moderating a panel on George Melies today, so here’s a second helping of his films (to go along with the first set I put up):
Another hand-tinted film, this one featuring a starfish that turns into a very octopoid spider:
Does your hotel room have a black devil problem?
Some low comedy:

Shoegazer Sunday: Abiku’s “Bocciòlo”
Sunday, August 26th, 2012I thought that last week’s Italian shoegazer entry worked well enough that we should go back to the boot for this week’s entry, Abiku’s “Bocciòlo”L
See how easy it is to do a music video? All you need is a hot girl jogging and swimming!
The Man With the Iron Fists
Friday, August 24th, 2012Well, how did I miss this?
Swords, guns, hot Asian women, ridiculous quantities of blood, a steampunk (golem? robot?) antagonist, and completely over-the-top Kung Fu violence? Produced by Quentin Tarantino?
Yeah, I’m there.
I could do without the hip-hop soundtrack, but it’s become something of a tradition in the post-grindhouse blaxplotation kung-fu crossover, and what did you expect for the first movie directed by RZA?
Opens November 2.
Happy Birthday H.P. Lovecraft!

I’ve done a lot of Lovecraft and Cthulhu related posts over the years. Here are some of the most notable ones:
Apple: The Most Valuable Company in the History of the World
Monday, August 20th, 2012Today Apple became the most valuable publicly traded company of all time. Not bad for the once “beleaguered” company which has been declared dead more times than pretty much any other company.
Here’s a quick history of the company pre-iPhone:
And here’s a quick visual look at of a few of Apple’s computers over the years:
Shoegazer Sunday: Starframes’ “Cielo Drive”
Sunday, August 19th, 2012Starframes’ “Cielo Drive” seems like a beautiful, upbeat song if you don’t recognize the context of the address (which the video gets to a bit over two minutes in).
This is off their album Ethereal Underground. The band itself is out of Naples, Italy, but their main domain seems to have expired.
I’m getting a bit of a Neutral Milk Hotel vibe from them, which is a good thing.
