Very Intense Music Video

This song is one of the reasons that the ending of Footloose is so awesome. I learned a good deal of my dance moves from that final scene and trust me they are always a hit. The other day I was trying to decide what songs to blip and I thought of this one. I did not blip it in the end, but I did enjoy the video. It's definitely a precursor to Sabotage.

New Broken Letters Song

broken letters are about to release a new ep, or, they could have already released it and i'm purveying false information, yet again, through this new form of media that the old media says is disseminating poor information like glenn beck with a tv show. this is a live performance of the new broken letters song, "eyetooth & i" from that ep. it's my favorite song on the new release. i also happened to help shoot the live video. all the good shots are mine. the bad looking ones are everyone else's. j/k yall. omg!

Little Nemo in Slumberland

Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend

edwin s. porter was an engineer, cameraman, and film pioneer. he is most noted for his work with the edison company. the great train robbery is his most famous work, but i am posting his adaptation of the winsor mccay comic strip, dream of the rarebit fiend. porter made this in 1906. he borrows pretty heavily from techniques french director, george melies, developed.

mccay's character, little nemo, is present in this film. the comic strip character would later become his own strip with little nemo in slumberland. mccay also went on to create several animations for a series titled "dreams of the rarebit fiend," most of which are available on youtube.
