Def Jam: Rives - Kite
So I thought I hated spoken word poetry but Deric has introduced this poet to me and we're both kind of obsessed now. Enjoy.

Then You Lay Your Everlovin' Stuff On Me
From Return to Riverdale, a TV movie in which the Archie gang is grown up and comes together for a high school reunion --
A scene in which a middle age chimo Jughead raps an updated version of Sugar Sugar while breakdancing.
George W. Bush's Final White House Press Conference

This is a 45-minute video, but I thought it would be helpful to post it here where everybody can find it when they have the time or inclination. I'm only a few minutes in and it's already incredibly surreal. This guy hasn't changed at all.
But for a good highlight, the following is Bush responding to a question about his MISTAKES:

Pet Shop Boys: Minimal
This is one of Steph's and my favorite music videos. I think it's basically flawless, and fits the song gorgeously. While the music isn't exactly minimal. the lyrics define minimalism -- which is not to say the lyrics are actually minimal, but rather that the song is about the beauty of minimalism as an aesthetic.
I post it now because I'm doing some redecorating, and the video has inspired my approach to one section of my apartment.
Pet Shop Boys: pop music for art students and intellectuals.

Mamma's Boys
In a reversal of roles, Jojo's mom has become the comforter of a girl rejected by the momma's boys on the show.
Here is the crazy thing about eliminations on the show... unlike the civil and completely acceptable manner in which the guys in Bromance are dismissed...the women in Momma's Boys receive there rejections by individual text messages to their cell phones.
"Yes" on the sms if they can stay and go on another date.
"It's a no" on the nokia 880 if they have to leave.
Sometimes they get text messages on their phone saying to meet at the pool, where the girls and moms gather for the news. If they get sent to the pool it usually means that the boys are a little iffy on them and they need to convince the guys (and their mom's obviously) that they should be able to stay.
The best part of this show continues to be the epic breakdowns by the characters on the show.
Today, I give you Cara Quici.
I love that it is Jojo's mom who isthe one comforting this woman that got the boot. It's no surprise, though, that Cara is an Aryan bombshell.
See this video for a refresher.
I guarantee that Jojo's mom got the digits, address, SS#, blood type, and hymen measurement on Cara before she split.
I actually believe that the mothers in this show devised this whole fiasco....I bet that their sons are twitting, blogging, vlogging, and MMO RPGing in their basements back home. They just hired the guys on the show as stand-ins. Boy, are these girls in for a rude awakening.
Actually, my mother would be the only one to devise that detailed of a plan. I hope you all follow me on twitter--I'll let you know who my mom brings home to convert me!

Sexual Cirque du Soleil
Prepare to be amazed, aroused, and slightly uncomfortable...
NSFW---but is that going to stop you?
If you watch his other videos, its really odd how many people are filmed in the background watching him do this "sexual cirque du soleil."

Warning to James Servino
Mr. Servino -
It has been three weeks since your inaugural "Momma's Boys" blog entry, in which you detailed in a singularly hilarious fashion the events of the pilot episode of Ryan "Gaycrest's" odious new reality television series. Response to that posting was uniformly favorable, with many readers imploring you to commit to covering the programme on a regular basis.
The administrators of this blog have in a private session passed a resolution requiring you to resume "Momma's Boys" coverage at once. Failure to do so will result in banishment from not only this blog, but from the internet altogether -- including Friendster.
We trust you will not allow such an unfortunate event to come to pass.
Yours in Christ,
Ladies of the PQ

007: From Russia With Love (1963)
While not as ambitious as the "Dr. No" sequence we saw previously, I absolutely love this piece. The text is gorgeous. Lovely font, love the lowercase/uppercase, love the movement -- it's something you see Underworld and tomato doing now in their abstract music videos. and Danny Boyle uses this sort of text look in his credits. I'll post something later as an example. But yeah, you've got a sexy girl in this, but it's the dancing text that is the real draw. "From Russia With Love" FTW.

Hipster Olympics
I talked to a New Yorker on the Underworld message board, and he recommended I watch this video if I wanted to understand why the All Points West crowd were so awful during that Underworld performance back in August.
