In America, Superman fights crime with his super strength and special powers (laser vision, super breath, and mega strength). In India, he teams up with Spiderwoman to crush crime with sweet dance moves.

A behind-the-scenes in-the-studio making-of-video of the best theme song in the history of television. For the gearheads out there, the signature doo-wee-ooo sound is the production of an Arp Odyssey. The track also uses a Yamaha CS-80, vocoder, and some other cool toys.
Thanks Clive.

Sometimes there is a man that stands above everyone else as a role model for everyone. Fred Rogers was certainly that man for a long period of time. In this very important speech to the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Fred defends the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and more importantly breaks through the heart of every person, even the self-proclaimed hard-ass John O. Pastore who headed the committee.
I wish that our current administration would heed a little to Fred’s song, What do you do?, especially the last verse:
I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish.
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.
Know that there’s something deep inside
That helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a woman
And a boy can be someday a man.
A few goosebumps might do them good.

This is one of those rare internet gems that is nearly impossible to decide whether it’s real or not. In any event, someone took the Family Guy and made El Chombo emerge from James William Bottomtooth’s giant bottom tooth.

Ok, let’s begin. This song, produced with the Cut Chemist is one of the songs that is in my head when nothing else is in there. I didn’t even know that it had a video, much less such a typographically awesome one.

It’s Saturday, and you know what that means…
TIME TO GO TO THE DISCO. Don’t forget your pecks, your mustache, or your cowboy hat, and definitely don’t forget the oil.
And their name has nothing to do with feces. Get your mind out of the gutter, son.

Equation for successful male-directed advertising:
wimpy guy + giant vehicle + bad-ass celebrity + hot women + innuendo = TOTALLY GOOD.
They decided to leave out the optional ingredient of hot women, but having the baddest-ass celebrity with the most gold chains compensates.

The depressed boys from Newcastle have a new album out, but I don’t like their new video all that much. Instead a classic video for a classic song, from their first album. This song is particularly good for breakups and pink slips.

Bōsōzoku (暴走族) is a car/motorcycle culture where various “gangs” make crazy modifications to their cars. Sure, many Asian-American men have been stereotyped by their over-modded autos, but this is RIDICULOUS.
In a completely unrelated but interesting note, Canadian indie band Godspeed You! Black Emperor gets its name from a eponymous documentary about Bōsōzoku from the 70s.
Thanks Huck.
