It's the end of the world... and I feel fine

A routine stop at the barbershop for a shave and a haircut turns into a haunting melody about love... and a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger reading a newspaper about the end of the world? Honestly where do they come up with this stuff?...
...cause I want more cool! Oh how I wish there were actually a movie instead of just a music video. But alas, I'll settle for the fantastic video... serene cinematography and all... (btw, the last photo above on the bottom right, I would as a wallpaper were it a production still... so utterly amazing...)
This video is for a song called End of the World, written and performed by a former school teacher turned musician named Matt Alber... Matt currently has an album out titled Hide Nothing which is available on Itunes and Amazon... You can also check out more of Matt's music over at his blog, myspace, and youtube pages. This beautiful video itself can be download over at itunes as well.

The times, they are a changin'

Sean Penn and James Franco put to the tune of a timeless Cyndi Lauper 80s classic?... And a rendition of that hit classic sung by none other than multi-talented UK actor John Barrowman no less? I would've never in a million years thought this combination would work... but wow, did the end result come out great or what mrgreen?
Would you believe it if I told you I've never the opportunity to watch Milk yet? I know the movie's already racked up a couple awards, but for some odd reason I tend to be more attracted to the lesser known (more underground) gay-themed than the mainstream ones... I think I might give this one a rental though.

Why Youtube, why?...

Why, must you consistently bombard me with your endless stream of videos featuring people making total fools of themselves in front of a camera. We don't get enough of that in the mainstream media apparently? Do you derive some sick pleasure out of all this? ... Was that a yes?? ... Well fine I guess, whatever cool. I'll watch your videos... but I'm not necessarily gonna like it.
Ok, so maybe I liked these videos a little... in a 'they're so horrendous that they're borderline funny' kind of way? Plus never hurts to have super cute guys singing (or lip-syncing to be more accurate) to keep one's attention. To be honest, considering the competition that's out there... (*cringe*), I really don't mind the goofiness aspect.
Anyhow both these clips are by a youtube comedy group based out of LA... I believe from the looks of it it seems to be Hollywood (the sign gave it away cool). And yeah, the geeky guy in the second video would be so by my type... if he wasn't such a hyper-active stalker mrgreen...

SNL's Lonely Island is on a boat...


I think it's safe to say there's only one way I to describe SNL comedy trio The Lonely Island's recent boat trip featuring rapper T-Pain... Way, way, way over the top! Who'd have thunk it really? A rap song by an SNL comedy group about... well, just about being on a boat? It actually came out sounding somewhat decent (albeit *heavily profanity laden*). But Andy Samberg is super cute so I can somewhat ignore that... plus I love his personality (totally reminds me of one of my friends)...
Also please someone give the director/video editor of this video a medal... cause just in terms of great cinematography, it came out looking awesome. The Lonely Island's album Incredibad came out this past tuesday. The album is also available through Itunes.
