RIP! Les Anderson

Corey Haim, a 1980s teen heartthrob whose career was blighted by drug abuse, has died. He was 38. (Associated Press)

Ohhh no,  I can’t believe he’s died!!!  Although I didn’t keep up with Corey Haim’s career as he grew older, I’m still saddened by his death. When I hear his name I still remember him from the 80s.  It’s like part of my childhood has passed away too.

I remember when my uncle had a huge bootleg VHS collection and License to Drive (1988) was one of my favorite movies and I would watch it repeatedly during summer breaks. To a lesser degree I also enjoyed Silver Bullet (1985), The Lost Boys (1987), and shamefully Fast Getaway (1991).  Looking back, I think I probably had a crush on him.

Watch! Jump Jump Dance Dance - Show Me The Night

Show me the night!!! Yeah, I’ve been loving this song by electro-rock duo Jump Jump Dance Dance! And then come to find out there’s a music video? A well executed music video directed by Claire Carré of Partizan? I need to keep on top of my game; this one almost crept by me.

Also… You’re going to want to grab the Grum remix for this song. Jump Jump Dance Dance - Show Me The Night (Grum Remix)

March 2010: Set Fire to the Sky


originally uploaded by Carles Rodrigo.

Jeeze yall’ i’ve never had so much fun putting together a mix before. Searching for tracks was the easy part this time around; narrowing them down to 10? Very difficult… it’s like they were all Fire. I guess it’s just that time of the year again; everyone’s ready to put winter to bed, set fire to the sky, and dance their way through summer’s end. Very well, so be it!

Watch! Nobody Beats the Drum - Grindin’

This video is pretty on the mark if I do say so myself. My favorite elements were the projection mappings, they definitely put this over the top. Animation on it’s own doesn’t excite me much… but when it’s done well I can really appreciate it! I am, however, a big fan of geometrics, especially when set to bomb ass electronic music. I dabbled with visuals & projections a while back but never could commit myself; Too tedious! And the stuff I was attempting had nothing on this! Watch the making of this video you’ll see what I mean.

Watch! We Have Band - Divisive

I can’t say i like this video… i can’t say i dislike it either.  This is just one of those “not my cup o’ tea” instances.  It’s a little different so I think it’s worth a mention.  Maybe you’ll like it.
