Alexander: The Great Rap

Tony Award winner, hip-hop extraordinaire, lyrical wordsmith, Lin-Manuel Miranda raps about Alexander Hamilton in front of President Obama.

My only question is: how is this video not world-famous by now? Who ISN’T really impressed by this universally enjoyable video!?

The Walkmen - The Rat (at Pitchfork Music Festival '09)

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY BRILLIANT!!!

Take Note: This Is How You Sell Video Games!

In some of the best marketing I've seen in my entire life (and yours too), the makers of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 went and attached some fake plaster boobs to a wall. I just pre-ordered like 80 copies and I don't even own a television or video game console.

Coldplay - Strawberry Swing (Stop Motion)

Une très belle exécution sur ce clip réalisé en stop motion pour le groupe Coldplay, sur le titre Strawberry Swing. Il est dirigé par le collectif Shynola (Radiohead - Pyramid Song, Queens of the Stone Age - Go with the Flow, Beck - E-Pro) et rappelle très fortement Sorry I'm Late de Tomas Mankovsky.

A Thousand Words...

Très beau court-métrage dirigé par Ted Chung : un film muet et entièrement en noir et blanc. Le tout autour du concert fort, que chaque jour il y a tellement d'opportunités à attraper. À vous d'en prendre au moins une-seule. A bit cheesy but still... really well done.
