Dan Meth on Google’s Street View Car

The hilariously goofy animator gives us his take on what goes on inside the cars with the surround-view cameras on top that snap photos of the world from its roads.

Elbow – The Bones of You

Marcus — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 06:21:09 +0000

I’ve loved Elbow since I first heard them in 2002. Their last album was a corker, full of beautiful melodies, clever arrangements, and lyrics that made me ache to hear their wit. Guy Garvey has a gift for lyrics, and The Bones of You was my favorite song on The Seldom Seen Kid. I had to learn to play it, and put it on repeat until I knew all the words intimately, like a poem I had to recite in public.

Here’s a response to the shouty vlog post Perez Hilton put up a couple of days ago, wherein Breckin Meyer, Robot Chicken writer and capable actor, talks about his kerfuffle with Zac Efron during the Robot Chicken Skate Party:

More proof that Hilton is a giant douche, and Zac Efron is the coolest guy in Hollywood.

Bomb the Bass – Butterfingers

Wow, so long without a peep. Let’s break the silence with another music vid, even though it’s over a year old. I really like a lot of Bomb the Bass, but this video is my favorite. Anytime cute is combined with disturbing, it’s a win with me.

La Descente du Coude – L’Heure Me Pointe

Marcus — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 06:25:16 +0000

And so my obsession with Canadian music continues. Montreal’s La Descente du Coude (descent of the elbow, I think) knocks one out for indie rock.

The Defenders (Short Film / PSA)

Marcus — Thu, 28 May 2009 16:14:05 +0000

So I did a short film earlier this year, an all-volunteer cast & crew, to protest the passage of Proposition 8 here in California, which bans same sex marriage in favor of opposite marriage. The Supreme Court just ruled it constitutional, and the finished PSA was uploaded just after the decision.

Best Wedding Video Ever

This is genius. This is a reason to have a wedding, just to be able to do the video.

Carson gives the pitch for his course teaching gays how to tolerate straight small talk.
