I love this frenetic, kaleidoscopic video (A.I. be damned!!), in no small part because of Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin’s awesome music!! Giving Y2K vibes & future hope:
Director: Felix Geen / AI Artist: Max Kreis /
Camera & Lighting: Josha Eiffel / MUA: Georgia Hope
“‘Dreamcatching’ is about all the places you want to know and all the places you’ll never go,” the band said in a statement. “The video uses AI neural networks to create the landscapes and worlds we long for in the lyrics, a computer’s interpretation of our dreams.”
This man knows how to squeeze a trigger and shed a damn fine tear. Bruce Willis will be stepping away from acting for good after a recent diagnosis of aphasia — a disorder that affects the brain’s language center and a person’s ability to understand or express speech.
This tribute-music-video is to you, Bruce Willis:
“I’m Bruce Willis” performed by Jeep Cherokee.
He’d probably hate that so much lol.
The video contained clips from every single movie Bruce Willis has ever appeared in…pre 2010… None as iconic as TheFifth Element, or Die Hard, or Twelve Monkeys, or Pulp Fiction, or The Last Boy Scout, or Unbreakable, of course, and I just watched Last Man Standing for the first time with bae and it was good, thank you Walter Hill. (I’m thinking Armageddon or Sin City next)
Be proud Mr. Willis, be Yippee Ki Yaymotherfuckingprou-😢-proud 😭
Personally, I don’t think these two brothers needed to engage themselves in low blow mockery and humiliation. That being said, comedy is disarming for a reason and Chris Rock is a professional comedian. Hollyweird must be a strange and alienating place to keep it together in, but damned if that wasn’t the most passionate live televised outburst not produced on an MTV reality show. …Or was it!?!

Like Chris Rock’s professionalism and Will Smith’s West Philly passion, the world responded in memes:
As drummer for the Foo Fighters for over 20 years, Taylor Hawkins has drummed his way through everything from Reading & Leeds Festival, to Radio 1 Live Lounges to sell out stadium shows.
But what does it take to become a drummer? What inspires someone to pick up a pair of drumsticks in the first place? And just how important is the drummer to a band?
In this programme, Taylor gives us a guided tour of his drum kit, talking to Radio 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq about his childhood, his influences, his favourite drum loops, and what it’s like drumming with both Alanis Morissette & Dave Grohl.
In 1999 the Red Hot Chili Peppers released their seventh studio album Californication.
In 2000 the album’s title track was released as a single, and along with it came one of the coolest 3D rendered animated music videos ever to grace the music scene. It certainly stirred emotions and imaginations, and for obvious reason captured the hearts of young gamers around the world. I was one of those dopey kids who had wishful daydreams of what the sixth generation of video game consoles may bring. I remember thinking at the time how Crazy Taxi was the closest actual game to it (today, I think Fortnite comes closest).
Now, some twenty-three years later, developer Miquel Camps Ortezaa took it upon himself to create a free to download video game based on that sweet music video. What began as a two-day challenge to re-create the spirit of those delirious game logic scenes, ended up as seven levels, allowing you to experience the super graphical environments as if you were the shirtless band-mate confronting those crazy hyper heart-pounding dangers.
So… The graphics leave a hell of a lot to be desired 😂 it is janky, but fun, and did I mention, freeeeeeeeee. Download the game for free on Itch.io for Windows PC and macOS to relive the glory days of 2000’s RHCP. Alternatively, you can just watch the MV below.
Although Otherside had the hook I hummed the loudest down the school hallways (and a German Expressionism, Cubism, and M.C. Escher music video aesthetic I could’t get out of my brain), Californication is definitely one of those era defining songs. People will still be finding and enjoying it many years from now. Much like today.
… waddaminute … Fortnite, of course! Epic Games are RHCP fans, for sure.
This ongoing saga unfolding in an unnerving plain of existence was first uploaded January 7 2022. That is all I want to know. I mean know, that is all I know 😨
YouTuber, film buff, and meticulous editor Duncan Robson (featured on DitB before) was commissioned by the Columbus Museum of Art for one of his celebratory montages. After watching this, you will never not notice a tumbling tumbleweed ever again:
Electric guitarist Andre Antunes adds a heavy metal soundtrack to New Zealand’s All Blacks rugby team performing the traditional Maori war dance known as the Haka:
Noice. The musical accompaniment gave me Bring It On vibes though, if I’m being honest. Better without IMO. Here is the original video:
Here is a Maori rock group:
Sorry lads, you have to share the ball with Samoa, coming in hard with an interception:
(Any other day of the year and that joke just doesn’t land. I have waited decades for the opportunity to drop that line, months spent toiling my time away until the final minute when I would fulfill the sweetest promise of landing that time specific guffaw!, only to forget for another year and another year… BUT I finally did it! Yup. ……I-I’m not stinky, just using a stink joke.)
