Metallica - The Call Of Ktulu

I wasn't going to post anything because I thought Kung Fury deserved another day in the sun but what the heck, have some classic Metallica. The silent film is actually from 2005, made to look dated, and pretty cool. Now go watch Kung Fury again.

Kung Fury

It's here. It's actually here. Watch and rejoice.

3-Minute Bulletproof

McBain! This version is better than the original. Stupendously absurd.

NYC, 1981

Is this a trailer? A short? An extract? Not sure, but it's really well done.

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Log Driver's Waltz

Surely you remember this one. 1979. Coincidentally also written by Wade Hemsworth.

Wade Hemsworth - The Blackfly Song

1955. Dawn posted this one. Shout-outs to all the homies in Ontar-i-o-i-o.

Burl Ives - I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly

Throwback Thursday. Taking no prisoners. A harrowing tale from 1964.

Massive Attack - Just A Matter Of Time

Throwback Thursday? Sure, that works. This is a little-viewed short film directed by the late Roger Pomphrey circa 1990. Amazing how Massive's sound has evolved since.

Tool - Right In Two

Since we've been talking about Mr. Carey, it seems criminal not to post a song by his real band. Upon closer inspection, it's been four years since I posted a video by them, and eight since they released an album. Coincidence? Completely. 

This is not an official video, since they hardly ever put those out, it's a fan-made one using footage from "The Gloaming", a pretty cool animated short worth watching. Man I hope their next album comes out one day. These guys are unquestionably one of the greatest bands on the planet in the history of all time ever. In the universe. Happy now, metalheads?

Laura Marling - When Brave Bird Saved

Creds to Amy for this one. I really know nothing about Ms. Marling, but this is a collection of four of her songs from her new album put together into a short film. Absorb and enjoy!

The Cinematic Orchestra - Regen

The last album by this group was a collection of soundtracks to short films. They're all pretty good, but didn't really hit it out of the park with the critics. Whatever, I like it, and you'll like it, and that's all that matters. 

This particular Dutch film was released in 1929 by Joris Ivens, and was later scored by Grey Reverend, and then performed by the group you hear below. Again, not a quick absorption, but full of hearty warmth.

The Madness Of Excellence

Since we're on to the sports, here's a little Joe Rogan philosophy.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Entr'acte

Watch and listen to this brilliant soundtrack to the 1924 short silent film by René Clair.

I, Pet Goat II

Let's end with this one today. Simply amazing symbolism. Tomorrow, music.

Dubstep dispute

Only the best use of dubstep ever.

The Jacksons - Can You Feel It

How about some epic 1981 Jackson action for ya.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Manhatta

This is actually a soundtrack for the 1921 short silent film by Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand. Gotta say they did a fantastic job. Watch the whole thing, it's worth the eleven minutes. 

NOTE: For some stupid reason the film company has taken this video down. Hopefully it'll be back up shortly, I'll repost it when it is.

The Gift

This is a pretty sweet little Russian sci-fi short, directed by Carl Rinsch.

Chop Chop

Dang, I hate being late.

 

Caine's Arcade

Stories like this shine small rays of hope on an otherwise despairingly gloomy future for humanity. Ever wonder why there are no feel-good stories about people at the top of the food chain?
