video love.

I haven’t been around much lately, and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. I’d like to eventually get back into a rhythm of posting, but that definitely won’t happen until 2013. How is it already six weeks from 2013?!?

Anyway, for those of you who have this on an RSS feed, here are some videos I’ve been enjoying to hold you over until I’m back in full swing, and filling up your feeds with all sorts of lame shit I love.

—————————————————-

1. Dumb Ways To Die

Here is a creative ad for safety awareness on the Australian Metro. Also, as far as videos that are all about death go, it is definitely the cutest ever.

2. House of Cards

It’s no secret that Netflix has been getting into the original content game. I think it started with Lilyhammer (which I haven’t actually seen), you’d have to count the upcoming continuation of Arrested Development, and from all accounts they plan on expanding in pretty audacious ways.

One show I will definitely be trying on for size when it airs next year is House of Cards. With a pilot directed by David Fincher, the show stars Kevin Spacey, Kate Mara (wee-ow!), and Robin Wright. Netflix has already given the green light on two full seasons (13 eps each).

Here is the trailer!

3. Lover of the Light

Idris Elba directs and stars in a Mumford and Sons video. What else needs to be said?

—————————————

4. Möbius

Jean Dujardin being all brooding and intense and whatnot. I’m looking forward to learning more about this one.

————————————

5. Now You See Me

There’s probably a pretty fair chance that it will be hackneyed and cliché. Yet, I really like the cast and I always hold out hope that a heist film will be well-executed because they can be so damn fun when they are.

6. Hitchcock

Only a few more days!

7. The Central Park Five

This is going to be a tough watch. Also, Ken Burns is a freaking genius (with a consistently terrible haircut).

Still so many great videos to share, but every post has to end some time.

frank ocean.

Several weeks later, and I still can’t really understand how this album is so good. He opened his tour here in Seattle, just before I got into him. I really need to stop getting into bands days after they leave Seattle.

bat for lashes – laura.

The woefully underappreciated Bat for Lashes (aka Natasha Khan, don’t worry, not Wrath of Khan jokes here) is back with a new video. It’s beautifull shot and heartbreaking, even without a firm narrative structure of any kind.

The only downside, how do you have Marques Toliver in a video when he doesn’t get to perform? You just create unfulfilled longing in us all.

The new album, The Haunted Man, comes out on October.

two amazing albums.

It’s hard to believe album release dates anymore. They are often available for download long before they are supposed to be. However, two albums were “officially” released in wide format last Tuesday, and somehow, with these two albums, the heavens opened up and allowed two masterpieces to be unveiled on the world. Start to finish, these two albums are the real deal. You should use whatever means it is to download music to download these post haste!

Frank Ocean – Channel Orange

bestival.

So, I really need a rich friend to become overwhelmed with the desire to take me to Bestival 2012 in the UK this September. The lineup makes me want to cook meth in order to earn enough money to fly myself out to partake. Amongst the huge lineup, there are a number of personal favorites, including:

I want to go to there!!!
