Street Art; alive and well

If I ever had the creativity and guts to fuse artwork into an urban landscape- I'd definitely do it while wearing a pair of classic blacked-out aviator fashion goggles. Or maybe steampunk-styled goggles. Both sound cool.

Steampunk goggles aside- Street art isn't just something that Bansky cooked up a few years back. It's spread around the globe and has been thriving for centuries. My personal favorites are the pieces that just freak you out in some way (I am a Surrealist fan haha). For instance, check out the one below:

I think I spent an hour and a half there just scrolling through street art photos. It makes me wish I had some kind of substantial artistic talent haha.

Young Justice met Gorillaz

  

So I can't remember where I saw this, but dang I think it's great. I love Young Justice- Aqualad is the best thing that ever hit the planet (although he isn't above). Great Gorillaz spin-off haha.

I think what gets me is how well they got Robin to look like Murdoc.

Yep- I still think Jackass is funny

I love Johnny Knoxville and his high-pitched crazy man laugh. He's gotta be my favorite of the Jackass crew; Bam is a close second, well, either him or Chris ha ha. This is a clip from the third movie that I got a kick out of:


I think what kills me is Knoxville's laugh. Ha ha ha oh man.

This American Life- Babies Buying Babies

 Just some good food for thought; sorry if you can't read the description they gave.


It's a pretty depressing story- but it's poignant.

Skrillex- Lyrics for Dubstep . . . IT IS POSSIBLE

Sooo some commercial I can't remember has a Skrillex song in it; I think it's the song "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites." Actually, I just checked and I was right hahaha.

Anyways, so I was on a Skrillex kick for a while after that and found someone online who actually takes the time to write out each individual sound in a dubstep song. Pretttty coooool. Heads up though, if you're epileptic- it seriously could break your brain. Whoo!

The song is First of the Year (Equinox). I'm in an intro to ELANG class and we're going over phonology and stuff; I got a kick out of the way this guy writes out sounds haha.

CALL 9 1 1 NAO!

Ben Howard - The Wolves

I went to Sidereel to watch one of my favorite shows, Haven, (whooooo Haven!!) and a video featuring some crazy biker started playing automatically. I absolutely loved the song they used, so I looked it up- and here it is! The song is The Wolves by Ben Howard.

Thank you universe, for letting me stumble on some more good music.

The Amazing World of Gumball

Okay, so I've never been very interested in cartoon tv shows, but I stumbled upon The Amazing World of Gumball and I think its absolutely hilarious.

The show centers around Gumball, a blue cat, and his brother/best friend Darwin, who is a fish with legs. Gumball's father is super lazy, his mother is a workaholic, and his little sister is incredibly smart. Darwin is my favorite character; the kid who voices him does a great job.

The clip below is from the episode "Pressure". Misami, (the cloud) has told all her girlfriends that she's in a relationship with Darwin . . . . the poor kid has no idea what's going on and she's trying to kiss him haha.

Hahahaha yes, it's still a kids cartoon show, but dang I still think it's funny.
