Fun Music Videos

While most music videos are stupid and immoral, there are a few that are pretty good. Take Feist's "1234" (from the iPod commercial). I really like the colors and the fact that it's a one-take shot.



Feist is also up for a few Grammy awards. One of her older ones, "Mushaboom," reminds me of my favorite flying dreams.



I'm not going to embed every video, but here are some others I think are pretty fun.

Alanis Morrissette - Everything (Not really one-take like "1234" but similar)

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy v1 and v2 (Still my favorite song)

Finger Eleven - Paralyzer (Maybe PG for the lyrics but I really like the dancers)

Feist - My Moon My Man (Another Feist one)

White Stripes - Fell in Love With a Girl (They have a bunch of special-effects filled red, white & black videos)

Sigma Alpha Lambda (Not a Fraternity)

Since I didn't go to a real high school and because I inadvertently messed up graduating with honors from FUS, I don't have a ton of academic accolades. I didn't have this blog when I got my Phi Kappa Phi award, but now that I've also been asked to join Sigma Alpha Lamba, I am going to give myself a pat on the back for my accomplishments.*


* I should note that I was asked to join Sigma Alpha Lambda based on my 4.0 GPA at Binghamton University, but I only took two or three classes at a time when I was there.

Changes

I'm not really "here in Pittsburgh" anymore, but I also don't want to rename the blog "Here in Endwell" because I don't think I'm going to be here very long (at least, I probably shouldn't be). So I guess it'll just be "Here in Somewhere" for a while, but you can still get to it from the normal address.

Class of '07

I'm fairly certain that I'm done with school now. I don't know if I can say I've officially graduated or have a masters yet, but hey, no more teachers, no more books, no more Laura's dirty looks!

Sneak Peek

For those impatiently anticipating my next masterpiece, here's a preview. The girl isn't nearly finished (and due to all the homework I have, probably won't be for a while) so she's not present, and the final background will be a lot different.

I know, I know, you're thinking, "WOW! Did he take a picture of himself?" No, this is actually a drawing, believe it or not.

[Update: the picture is slightly different than before, but alas, still no girl.]

More Art


Hopefully no one saw the first draft I put up last night. This is a picture I drew on the computer. There's still a few things off with the perspective, but I'm tired of editing it. If you're curious I drew it first in MS Paint (hence the rough lines) and then shaded it, did the reflections, etc in Photoshop.

[UPDATE: Though I told myself I wasn't going to waste any more time on this picture, I fixed a few more things, which most people probably wouldn't notice but make me feel better.]
