Bon Iver: Blook Bank

via Jay Parkinson.

</object>


Bon Iver, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  A mood altering/enhancing performance.  The folklore surrounding his album For Emma, Forever Ago is sometimes a guiding narrative of my current stage of life.  A coming of age story, starting to accept pains from the past and moving forward, stronger than before.  Each listening session seems to build on the previous and continues a journey of self improvement and simultaneous self acceptance.

Video: Canonball Floating in Mercury.

Very cool --

A cannonball floating/spinning in a pool of mercury.  Don't try this at home.  Apparently the previous generation played with mercury all the time, now its treated as a biohazard.

To me, the fascinating part of the video is that none of the mercury sticks to the irregularities on the cannonball as it floats & spins.

Third Eye Blind: Non Dairy Creamer, video and lyrics



Non-Dairy Creamer Official Music Video on youtube. Third eye blind has fallen off the planet for the past decade or so. However they definitely got my attention with their new track.

Lyrics  

They call it KFC, cause it’s not really chicken

Hot cheetos for breakfast make a young student sicken
Did you ever think someone’s tricking you?

And the guy in the pulpit is a bigot and a liar
Some kid walks into my school and opens fire
Heard any good jokes lately cause we sure do need em
My punk band’s call operation Iraqi freedom

Chorus

What’s it going to be, are you real to me
Or are you non-dairy
Creamer

And new love is burning up in me
Cause one in four American girls has an STD
You can buy yourself some implants
But you can’t buy a soul, 
What’s threat level orange
With your chest puffed out, what are you so afraid about
What are you so afraid about
What are you so afraid of 
What are you so afraid of

Chorus

And two gay guys got married
And brought the family to its knees
How did they blow us to smithereens
Just a couple of queens
How did they do it, I’m telling you now
All marriage came to an end
And I found myself some culprits
It’s two young gay republicans
Young gay republicans

Chorus

“Some of them we murder, some we let go…”

Are you real to me? 
Or are you non dairy... creamer? 

(4x)Mission Accomplished"
