1 Girl 1 Cup: You’re Gonna Miss Me

I could never play drums and sing at the same time. I sure as hell couldn’t “play” a cup and sing a cover like this, either. Most impressive. See more by tay9andahalf (via MeFi). Maybe she’s the hands behind the trippy CHOP CUP video?

Video: World’s Ugliest Dog Contest 2011 Highlights

Here’s what you missed at the annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest at the Sonoma Marin Fair in Petaluma. If you’ve seen the awesome Worst In Show documentary you’ll recognize many of the ugly dogs (and their owners).

Contrary to their gnarly appearances all are healthy and super-loved by their owners.

Not just another quirky Petaluma event (they’ve got tons) it also serves as a great case for pet adoption. Every animal deserves a good home, “ugly” or conventionally cute.

Gorgeous: Watch Disney “Bloom” Remix by Pogo

Dreamy. From the same musical meister who created “Upular” entirely from Pixar Up samples, Nick Bertke AKA Pogo. Bloom has the same hypnotic effect, too. Made more beautiful by the emotive and timelessly sweet Disney princesses. And that guy’s moustache. (via)

SPEAKING OF BLOOM …

It’s the 20th anniversary of Nirvana‘s Nevermind. Here’s a terrific and lesser-known cover by fellow Wilmette, IL -ian, Jonny Polonsky:

Beer Ad: Jean Claude Does Van Dammage in Pants for Coors Light UK

While this has nothing on the recent, epic Hahn SuperDry commercial, it does have Van Damme‘s mullet. And weird Mom Jeans. And for some reason, Antonio Banderas‘ accent. Enjoy. (Thanks, Matt!)

Starscape: Rotating Time-Lapse is Inception of Astrology

The problem with all the time lapse vids where the stars spin across the sky all magical like, is that’s just it—it’s magic. The Earth should be moving, not the stars. BulletPeople made this important correction on a video originally shot by José Francisco Salgado and S. Guisard. The result is unsettlingly cool.

Speaking of, here’s that Inception scene in LEGO: See the rest »

Amazing Video: Venice Beach Skatepark Outer Body Fly-Over

I can’t tell you if this was shot with a radio control Millennium Falcon or not. All I can say is this R/C cameraman has mad skills. The video’s beautiful.

Süperfad x Nando Costa: Tactile Waveforms Video

Trippy couple of days. First multiplying sheep. Now bar graphs and pie charts exploding off the page into something like a Pink Floyd LP cover on peyote.

Created by design and live-action production company Süperfad and directed by Nando Costa,
this video “explores the connections between science, mathematics and music“. Music is by World Gang, a side-project of Modest Mouse‘s Jeremiah Green and Plastiq Phantom Darrin Wiener. Nando and Jeremiah have a previous relationship, as he shot Modest Mouse “Whale Song” video.

The unnecessarily umlauted Süperfad is on a roll as of late. Just the other day they released their HTML5 and WebGL -powered Global Traffic Visualizer. Check out the vid:

Much Needed: Watch “Truth in Beervertising”

Remember the Coors Light ads about their Freaky Freezy -like cans? Or seen any of the other Big Beer ads about the many unnecessary “advancements” in drinking technology? Those are the reasons these Breckenridge Brewery spots were made. Just had to be done. Cheers to Cultivator Advertising & Design in Denver.
