This video seems like it’s going to make you laugh by the visuals alone and then at a certain point the music wins you over with a dark and heavy Spanish flamenco funk. I will pump this in my car and I will not apologize.
Angelo is raw. In the realm of unhinged creativity there is nothing more simultaneously rooted and untethered than this man’s vision/performance.
Morbid warnings clash with the playful illustrative style. Fear continues to serve as a useful tool of persuasion.
I pulled this little illustration from the CreativePro blog’s more comprehensive post.
Vibration is a movement that is self effecting. A tightly contained rhythm, an echo. A laugh that causes others to laugh. A song that causes others to sing. Emilio Santiago does the smoothest version of this song but there’s something about Jorge Ben that carries more current. It’s closer to the pulse.
Shel Silverstein writes, illustrates and reads his own prose. My brother dug up this animation which I had somehow never seen.
Paraphrasing the peopleforbikes.org website:
Peopleforbikes.org is dedicated to … improving the future of bicycling. (Their) goal is to gather a million names of support, to speak with one, powerful voice—to make bicycling safer, more convenient and appealing for everyone.
They’re doing this through promoting bike lovers to take a pledge:
I am for bikes. I’m for long rides and short rides. I’m for commuting to work, weekend rides, racing, riding to school, or just a quick spin around the block. I believe that no matter how I ride, biking makes me happy and is great for my health, my community and the environment we all share. That is why I am pledging my name in support of a better future for bicycling—one that is safe and fun for everyone. By uniting my voice with a million others, I believe that we can make our world a better place to ride.
Gary Fisher is for bikes.
Every now & then I discover somebody that I can’t believe I’ve never heard before. I’ve spent what some people might call a full time job of a lifetime listening to new music and tracking down leads on something new or old that might connect with my soul, heart or head. Last one was Elizabeth Cotton. Before that was Darondo. Enter Lee Moses:
The grit and honesty of this story shines despite the heavily stylized “Lynch-ness” of its presentation. Beautiful movie. Released in 1999, I had never heard of this memorable and poetic film until last week.
