Impromptu Dance Party Started on a Train in Perth

Awesome. How great would it be if this was an everyday occurrence:

Songs played: “I Feel Good” – James Brown / “Come Alive” – A Skillz & Krafty Kuts / “So Good” – Tuxedo

Peter Sharp gave these commuters an unexpected surprise when he started dancing by himself, encouraging anyone that wanted to join to get up off their seat. Once a few people joined in on the fun it was only a matter of time before the whole train car was rocking. Quite neat really. Meanwhile in Perth, on another train:

“Viet Cong still sound like a band being tugged in opposing directions, but here they control the discordance with confidence, transforming “Continental Shelf” into something disquietingly divine” ~  Pitchfork.com

90s vs Today - by Ray J

This neat picture reminded me of something Arthur C. Clarke predicted in the early 1970s:

Arthur C. Clarke accurately predicts the future of computers and of the Internet in a video that dates back to 1974. The man truly was a visionary.

Pretty amazing how far and how fast technology has advanced, and yet, never in the history of humanity has there been such a divide in awareness of modern advancements. You could take a simple sheet of paper and a pen to a remote village in the Amazon or Papua New Guinea and no one there will even know how to use it; one can only imagine what life will be like in the coming decades (please be cyborgs please be cyborgs)

There may be side-effects to technological integration, but I figure if more people are connected to their devices, as docile as people may become, wouldn’t this make them less prone to outbursts of violence and achieving genuine coolness. I can see value in idiocy, I mean, doesn’t that one guy and the cameraman seem less stupid to you?

Life and our capacity to interact with it will always be in our hands (metaphorically speaking of course; someone without hands for instance doesn’t need them to take control of their life. You know what I’m saying? I’ll shush now)

The Empire Strikes Back UNCUT!!! (Shot-for-Shot Remake) - A few of my fav scenes

Like Star Wars Uncut, hundreds of wildly devoted fans created their own 15-second scenes from The Empire Strikes Back for them to be edited into a complete scene-for-scene remake of the original. A hilarious and charming mix of animation and live-action schtick — from stop-motion to live-action, shadow puppets, still images and animation; whatever conceivable form of art you can imagine, it is in this fan film:
