I Can Has Cheezburger CEO Ben Huh’s TedxSeattle Talk

After news broke that Cheezburger Network’s Ben Huh was offering to buy the ailing Reddit, it was natural to investigate what role Ben Huh plays and what he did to capitalise on something I’d dare say is phenomenal on the internet: lolcats (cat memes). Reading through his blog, he posted up a talk he didContinue reading “I Can Has Cheezburger CEO Ben Huh’s TedxSeattle Talk”

Spotless – short by Jessica Nilsson

Directed by Swedish director Jessica Nilsson, caught this one at Flickerfest two years ago at a best-of compilation screening.  It’s pretty morbid, but everything about the pace, the music, the vintage film filter and the fact that it made very little sense made this a crowd favourite. Towards the end there is a cat on aContinue reading “Spotless – short by Jessica Nilsson”

Best Coast Boyfriend

This song’s getting a few rotations on Triple J and featured on a lot of music blogs. And there’s a good reason for that: it’s mighty catchy and dreampoppy, reminiscent of a less noisy 80s shoegazer thing combined with a drop of the Cardigans. Combine and picture the following words: teenage yearning, lazy summer, weedContinue reading “Best Coast Boyfriend”

Plasmo – a 5min clay animation where an adorable alien sacrifices himself to save a planet and declares his undying love for his gf. Epic.

How can so much drama, selflessness, a beautiful soundtrack, poignancy and a silly bit of humour be packed into a 4 minutes and 37 seconds clay animation? Plasmo, a little alien, risks his life by flying his spacecraft into an oncoming comet to deflect it. In doing so, the core of a certain planet getsContinue reading “Plasmo – a 5min clay animation where an adorable alien sacrifices himself to save a planet and declares his undying love for his gf. Epic.”

Some favourite SDCC 2010 Toy Exclusives

Comic Con; the last stage boss of all pop culture conventions. And like last stage bosses, they contain a lot of pretty neat stuff, like toy exclusives. Picked out the following from a recent emailout. Of course, none of these are ever going to reach me, though if I had to pick one, that Fafi noirContinue reading “Some favourite SDCC 2010 Toy Exclusives”

Bill Murray be chill y’all

A few weeks ago I tweeted about a chillwave band (I’m still uncomfortable with using this term, but since it’s the only term most people can relate to to describe the genre of music…) under the alias, Chill Murray. I heard about them on triple j when they were talking about their SXSW experience, butContinue reading “Bill Murray be chill y’all”

Ewok Karaoke Video

I shared this on my twitter the other day, but I’m still not over it. There is something fundamentally right about EVERYTHING in the video; the lyrics, the ridiculously cheesy background images/ video, the complete disregard to how uninterpretable it is. Oh and there is a wookie on a guitar halfway through the video. CelebrateContinue reading “Ewok Karaoke Video”
