Well, it was requested, so here it goes. I only dropped one of these loose on You Tube… The other one can be seen below…

That was followed up by this…

I was trying to remember where we saw them many years back (I’m 99% sure it was Peabody’s Down Under…). Was a great live show.

Bella wanted in on the fun of Bitstrips…

Just recently heard a few tunes by them and did some video browsing off the Ewe Toob… This one has a very Michel Gondry feel (Although it is directed by somebody called Dave The Chimp)…

What is Shoegaze? I’ll let Wikipedia explain it…

So this is my first Bitstrip Comic (starring myself, and Micheal Stipe…). Check out the site. It’s real intuitive and very slick. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get inspired to make a series?

From MTV’s Human Giant (which I keep reading about but have never seen…). From the few You Tube & MTV page videos I saw, looks decent… This 2 parter was kinda humorous…
————PART 1————-

————PART 2————-

See, I quickly browse my IPod, pick a band name, type it into the You Tube searchy bar…and “WHAM”.. So here ya go with a little Pia Fraus…
——-BONUS VIDDY——–
Here’s some Foo for Wifus…

So we had a little father/daughter movie night last night and watched this recent DVD release. I gotta say, I actually thought it was pretty good. The effects were nice and the story was your typical heartwarming fare with an underlying message about the wonders of life (ya know, everything you’d expect from a popular kids flick…) Dustin Hoffman was a little creepy, but not enough to be too disturbing… My daughter was actually a little less impressed, but I’m not sure why… So if’n ya got a kid and need a decent rental this weekend, I recommend this…
