Björk and Michel Gondry!? Collaborating Again?!

Oooo! Baby! What have I done in my life to deserve this!!!!
I adore ADORED their earlier collaborations (see above). I mean... that's how I got to know and love Björk! (That was before I realized artist and directors could make music videos. I thought it was all the musicians! Man, was I sheltered.).

Get this....
So far together they've done:
Declare Independence
Army of Me
Human Behaviour

Bachelorette
Jóga
Hyper-Ballad
Isobel


What would make this EVEN better is if Björk's husband Matthew Barney, a visual artist/sculptor/director/inventor, involved!
I may fall over.

To keep this good karma going, I will now kiss 3 babies, help 4 ladies cross the street and let Mojo run outside!

Ok Go: Rube Goldberg Machine of DOOOM!!!

Perhaps I'm getting a little ahead of myself...But this is probably the greatest Rube Goldberg of all time! I say this because I've never seen such wonderful and seamless umbrellas opening, tvs trashed and music with drinking glasses!

Match Made: Lady Gaga and David LaChapelle

David LaChapelle and Lady Gaga should make babies. Weird, amorphous, children to populate the world with imagination and surrealism!

The Daily Mail reports:

The shots feature in the super deluxe limited edition of her new album The Fame Monster ... Not only does it come with a booklet containing these amazing pictures, but giving fans a very unusual and very weird treat, she has also included a lock of her hair.

And here's a whole-lotta Lady Gaga Photoshoots on flickr.

OMG!!! Inspector Gadget Theme w/ Flute & Beatbox!

Now with Rammstein's new Album... Band Member Dildos!

I dunno...what do you say about the new Rammstein box set?

Oh you know, the one that contains
"Industrial Strength"  handcuffs & lube...
... in addition to the
6 pink schlongs molded from each member of the band!

The Band: Not shown, Rammstein's "Members":

I wish I was kidding. Then again, I wonder how many groupies will use it as a litmus test for sleeping with the band! (as in, gee...I've tried the one on the left.. who's next?). Man, that came out really really wrong. via

Google Street View Hacked for Band's Marketing!

This. Is. Genius.

So, if I'm right in my assumption, it sounds like the marketers for the Editor's new album created an application to hack OVERTOP of Google Street View.

The app shows red arrows, that if you follow, discover music tracks from the album in the exact area that inspired the songs!

According to Creative Review:

This is how it works: a cleverly hacked version of Google Street View allows users to preview tracks from the album in the areas of London that inspired them. As well as being able to move around as you would in the normal Google Street View, there are red arrows to find in nine different London locations (one for each track of the album) that each point to a location off the road - click it to find custom panoramic photographs of the band, shot at night by photographer James Royall.

The Marketing ramifications are immense!
What an exciting time for ad people!

Kid's These Days Like Migraines.

natalie portman's shaved head - sophisticated side ponytail

Which is to say I like this video from Natalie Portman's Shaved Head (or NPSH for those in the know).

Some thoughts:
1) New trend? Or Dan Decon wannabee?
2) I don't have headphones, so I haven't heard the music. Good? Bad? I dunno.
3) I feel really old.

Let's All Auto-Tune and Sing-Song the News!

My god this is catchy!

We all know auto-tuning off-key singers has gotten a teenie weenie out of hand (hello Cher?)... but what about auto-tuning unsuspecting newscasters? Now we're singing on fire!

P.S. Best unintentional singer? Our Fav Blondie, Katie Couric!

Thanks Matt!
