OK Go’s Video for Needing Getting
OK Go makes some pretty inventive music videos that are far more entertaining than their music. Don’t get me wrong, I think they are a great band with some really catchy stuff. That being said, that makes my previous statement that much more impacting.
Their latest music video was teased at in a Superbowl commercial for the Chevy Sonic, as Chevrolet did help them by donating the car to be retrofitted with a multitude of microphones, arms, and cameras for their incredible video for Needing/Getting.
The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording.
Just amazing stuff right there. Damian (lead singer) took stunt driving lessons so that the band could actually do this without external help during filming. It just boggles my mind to think they set this up and he had to drive at an exact speed with precision to pull it off. What I liked most is that you still hear the flaws in the song as it is “performed” by a car racing down this absurd obstacle course!
Digitals: A Musical Ode to Information Overload
One day I got an email, an sms, a phone call, a Facebook message and two tweets all within about 5 seconds of one another. This video is a re-manifestation of my brain’s interpretation of that event.

John Carter Extented Super Bowl XLVI Trailer [Video]
Disney has released an extended trailer for their upcoming Andrew Stanton-directed John Carter movie yesterday, and while I’m still not convinced that the movie is going to do full justice to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel, it still looks good enough to warrant a visit to the movie theater.

30 Best Reactions to DC’s Proposed “Watchmen Prequel”
Since nothing is good (except pizza) in this cold world, and talentless, imaginationless nincompoops run things, there will apparently be a “Watchmen” prequel. Alan Moore is rightfully pissed off. And the internet…well she is a-grumble. Gamma Squad has rounded up a nice collection of Twitter reactions to this very, very silly news.

Dictionary Desk Pillow
I slept in the library a few times in college, but I always managed to hit up one of the thick leather couches. I could never fall asleep like this, with my head on the desk. Maybe with one of these baller pillows, I could. Incognito, totally disguised to look like a dictionary. $80 USD.
