Pretty, pretty, pretty. And lucky for me, Pilobolus is performing right around the corner from my house for the next month, so I’ll have to see them perform live before they go.
Not sure how it connects to Hyundai, but it is gorgeous.

I love Daft Punk. When I saw this video mash up of Charleston dancers Al Minns and Leon James grooving to “Around the World,” I had to watch it a few times as their dancing syncs up so perfectly to the song, you’d think that they were actually dancing to Daft Punk in the first place. And wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if we still danced the Charleston to electropop?

I can’t believe I missed this the first time around. We’re so super late, but it doesn’t matter because it hits two of the primary wastered categories: robots and dancing. Oh, and it’s adorable.
Keepon (which I assume was named after the lyrics from the Spoon song) was designed and built by Hideki Kozima and programmed by Marek Michalowski. More about the Beatbots at CMU.

Coach Z in his breakout track, These peoples try to fade me. This song is so f’ing brilliant, I’m going to transcribe my favorite parts here:
Coach Z’s got money, but not much
Coach Z’s got money, but not much
Coach Z’s got money, but not much
I could use a dollar, I could use a couple bucks…
Where my lasers at?
All the peoples try to tell me where my lasers at
And your mother tried to show me all the laser crabs
And I got a bunch of types, a bunch of laser dabs{makes laser gun noises}
…
These peoples drop the BAAEERRRMM!

My Russian is rusty, but this video from Russian singer Lyapis Trubetskoy (Ляпис Трубецкой) is beautiful with its insane imagery and political messaging. If you are so inspired, you can get screenshots of the video here.

Songs don’t get more lovely than this, and dancers don’t get much better than the guys in the background of this cutting edge video.
