Motivational Video of the Day

You might think that a motivational speaker would try to motivate and inspire his audience with a well-thought out and logical speech/5-step plan/etc.  Well you would be wrong!  It makes far more sense to simply bang a 2×4 piece of plywood against one’s head repeatedly for 2 minutes straight, as this guy proves.  Motivational!

(it starts to get good around the 1:00 mark)

Remember Kids, Perseverance!

Vampire Weekend's Giving Up The Gun

The next single from Vampire Weekend‘s Contra will be Giving Up The Gun. The single has a truly inspired video to go with it, featuring a plethora of household names, such as Jake Gyllenhaal and Joe Jonas, in a game of tennis. The combination of stars seems a little strange, but makes for very entertaining viewing as you see each and every one of them cleaned up by a very energetic redhead.

The song itself is definitely suited to its partnering video, due to its use of slamming percussion sections, occasional smattering of glockenspiel and brilliant lyrical input. The song is one of the standout tracks from Contra, and definitely deserves to have such a brilliant, if strange, video.

Grizzly Bear's Volkswagen Commercial

Good for them…I guess.

Closing Tentacles:

  • Should more indie bands allow their songs be in commercials?
  • Is it possible to sell out?
  • Should the fact that a song is in a commercial to help a product sell more units detract from how cool it is?
  • Can you ever stop loving Grizzly Bear?

Bibleman Is Pretty Much The Best

This is something that looks like it should have millions of views already and yet only has 253…I may be wrong and perhaps this has already been an internet sensation and then the original video was taken down but I don’t know…This seems pretty unheard of.

In any case, if I am wrong, and your friend in middle school has already sent this to you multiple times, I apologize! Just thought the greatness of the video was worth the risk! I will escort myself to internet jail if necessary.

Tween Beatz Vol. 1: Is Justin Bieber The OMG Band For My Heart Foreverz?

Periodically we will check in with the culture of the trend-setters of tomorrow and sext about our findings.

    1. Justin Bieber Released a Super Sensitivez Sneak Peek Of His New Song About Me, “Baby”

Oh I will always be urz Justin! So hot…

But who’s that old guy with the guitar? I spose it showz a new level of maturity on Justin’s part hanging with the grandpaz but still. Don’t want to see that with my eyez! Just write an amazing song about it and move on Justin!

    2. Mileyz spotted in the L.A.

I just love what Miley has done to promote the peace aroundz the world. I just feel like when the terroristz* are making their plans in the caves of the bad countries they stop, just literally stop what they are doing right then and there whenever they see how much the American celebrities care about love, and happiness, and peace. They must REALize (this is real talk guyz and girlz. look at me gettin’ all suriious!) that we mean them NO HARM and that we don’t want to fight. So thanks Miley for keepin’ us SAFEZ!

    3. Bring It On: Fight to the Finish Premiers Saturday!

There’z been a lot of anticipation for this movie in the last few months and I think it will live up to it. I know the Oscars don’t usually make good decisionz but I feel like this time around they may be forced to make the right decision and make this an Oscar. So let’s start this now and here just to be sure! Let’s get all of our friendz, our familyz, and even our petz! to go and write a petition to the Oscars and tell them what we want! This is America, and only through free speech can our voices be heard. It’s like Benjamin Franklin, the third president of the United States, once said, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” When given the choice, I will always foreverz and everz, choose liberty.

*A Note on Terrorists: Why are you so bad? Don’t you realize that you are upsettin’ a lot of people who would love you if you just gave them a chance?

Links of the First Daily Trimester 1/13/10

  • Picture Above: iVictrola iPhone/iPod Touch amplifier. Only $400! That’s basically like the price of something you buy everyday that in your head seems like a small/worth it price extended over a certain length of time that seems long to you but not TOO long. You know?
  • Watch: Joe Biden’s Hennessy Ads. I need to start watch the ONN again…I hear they have a new anchor that used to anchor for Fox News. Not really that different I suppose!
  • Watch: Sarah Palin Debuts on Fox News. I hope this works our for her! She deserves the best treatment from her network bosses, just like Jay Leno, Jeff Dunham, and George Lopez. They all the best!
