Every once in a while, I see some random Internet video, usually an electronic remix accompanied by interesting/peculiar images of some kind, and become strangely obsessed by it for a week or so.
After a few days, my urge to rewatch these things kind of goes away. But it's weird how sometimes a simple concept, well executed, can just by sort of mesmerizing. Or maybe it's just me. Anyway, I defy you to just watch this "Alice in Wonderland" video once...The song is genius, composed 90% of sounds taken directly from Disney's "Alice" film. And combined with the clips...I don't know, it's just really hypnotic.
I don't think this next one is quite as outstandingly weird and fascinating as "Alice," but it's still worth including. Brooklyn band Ratatat's new single, "Mirando," has a video composed entirely of looping footage from Predator.
A little while back, it was this musical interpretation of the Crazy Texas Polygamy Cult, appropriately titled "It's Not a Compound":
"I don't think this next one is quite as outstandingly weird and fascinating as those last two, but it's still worth including."
ReplyDeleteWhat? There is only one video before that statement. Whats up with you Lon? Have you lost the ability to count? Anyway cool videos, I prefer the Alice in Wonderland one and it is definitely pretty cool...and if only i was actually getting sleepy I'd actually be happy since it is 2:30!
Thanks for pointing that out. I initially had these listed in a different order, then decided to put the "Alice" one on top because it's the best one.
