Did some more camera play today. Here is a bit of luscious new red truck footage shot in HDV on a Canon XH A1 and compressed into a 6.8 MB 640 x 360 flv file. Not bad.

RZA - You Can’t Stop Me Now
Slick new video and song from RZA as Bobby Digital.
Gold Sequin Under Gray Sky
I bought this dress at a neighbor’s estate sale earlier this year for $10. It’s a gorgeous hand made garment from long ago that was apparently only worn once or twice. Looks gorgeous (dare I say Excaliburian?!?) here on Caroline in the waning day at earthquake lake.
Moose Tries To Have Sex With Buffalo Statue
Check out this moose trying to hump a stone cold buffalo. Hot!
Silkblog-your daily dose of wildlife AND wildculture (furealz!)-is Back!
I’m sure a lot of people have maybe already seen this, but I’m re-kicking off Silkblog this summer 2008 with a celebration of Weezer’s new video “Pork and Beans.” This is a great song and an AMAZING video, and the two together are a KNOCKOUT. It’s not that no one’s ever had the brilliant idea of collaging together so many viral vid clips and youtube stars in one piece before, but no one has done it like this. This vid makes a statement, cleverly mixing independent youtube up and comers like Chris Crocker and the spelling bee kid with big budget Weezer. We expect these “cameo” appearances to be somehow reappropriated (from their original clips) into the new video, so I love the surprise when we realize that these “youtube” stars are actually in the new piece. And the mantra of “Ima do the things that I wanna do” (a defense of the brilliant absurdities that fuel today’s “viralness,” and not a grating declaration of common teen angst) is refreshing in the name of art. This is just plain wonderful, apropos as can be, and you can get lost in it.
