Weathermen are the new old Christian Bale

Though Christian Bale is just another in the slew of angry men tirades of late, weathermen and weatherladies just make life taste a little less rainy. Thanks kitty kat weatherman.

Real girls gone… model!!

Jezebel has a neat article about an Australian magazine catering to the anti-hollywoodsian tendency to portray fake, impossibly skinny girls. In these tuff political times, it’s nice to hear about a magazine gaining an audience and making it work. The motto there is giving girls a voice. I like that, but don’t girl already have a voice? They need platforms, podiums, cash money, opportunities and role-models, you mean. I’ve always wanted to be part of a media project that help girls get in touch with each other and express herselves.

Hypem publishes its year-start best of the best list

The Hype Machine present each set of 10 albums as a radio show featuring songs from the albums & interviews with key music bloggers. Something to look for are the best 50 songs hyped about on the site (that’s what they do, they monitor hype). My personal favourites are Goldfrapp – Number 1, Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows in Paradise,Late Of The Pier – Heartbeat and fucking the best is CSS – MOVE (JD STYLE NOW)!!!

See the list, sorted by artist, here.

_unknown (though i suspect this dude)

it never rains in sara land, much. lately…

… Sara.word. is a site i love, actually, it’s more of her blog. Sara Lane works in the fast pacec infotainment industry, though her programs always have more edge to them than that. She does content development for an online webisode tech geek site. And was a somewhat important figure in the develpment of one of my favourite shows in a while, Pop Siren. SO the economy caught a cold caught the measles got cancer and she got laid off. Still, pretty awesome talently lady who seems nice enough (pictures and vids of fluffy cat, tea makin, net surfing – the little maverick is not threatening anyone). And she makes it all worth your time when she pencils in her heart motions and writes the intro to the Alan Watts and Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park.

Every time I get down about not having enough money or being in the right job or having the kind of success I thought I’d have by this age, I try to remind myself that my life is happening, right here, right now. And so is yours. And come to think of it, we should probably take a really long trip to Tanzania. THOSE WILDEBEESTS AREN’T GOING TO PHOTOGRAPH THEMSELVES, PEOPLE.

Uh-Huh Her animation video

Unsolved Mysteries… solved!!!

this is an amazing rescue of sould. from the bitten bound.

Walsh left his mainstream executive job after Adam’s murder to begin a new mission with television show America’s Most Wanted. He was also instrumental in pushing for the passage of the federal Missing Children’s Assistance Act of 1984 which established the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Toole, a convicted pedophile and killer who died in prison in 1996, was in Hollywood, Florida at the time Adam disappeared. He had twice confessed and then recanted. He provided many credible details but had apparently also confessed to other murders that police knew he had not committed. A valuable piece of evidence, a bloody piece of carpet that was removed from Toole’s car, was lost long before DNA testing was available.

This is amazing. It is the show hosted by Terry O’Reilly on the CEEEEB.

This Dude put a camera in HIS EYE. Operation -like and everything.

good video sucky song

Cesar Kuriyama, a New York animator and lighting technical director, has directed a visually arresting music video using an interesting technique.

Eschewing a video camera, he took 45,000 photographs with a Nikon D200 DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera and stitched them together to create the illusion of video.

Montreal Mirror – November 27 2008

Along with other social activists in over 65 nations around the world, la Maison verte will again
observe Buy Nothing Day this Sunday, Nov. 30.

Buy Nothing Day was promoted by the Canadian magazine Adbusters back in the 90s to protest against
consumerism and takes place right after American Thanksgivings.

The cooperatively-run, ecological and fair-trade NDG store is an alternative to the corporate model,
says Coop member Kurt Houghton.

Now this is how Internet rises from the flames and takes its rightful place beside the bosom of advertising…

you made me stop endlessly searching my soul for meaning and filling it with money instead…

CBCnews.ca posted an arts and media article, trouncing the evils of the war between old school and new school media. The old dudes can take up to making money through ads and shrare revenue with artists, producers, et al. And the artists, et al, get to profit in the bucket fulls of cash these fuckers been making for years. Read article here.
