Virtual Flaneurism

“For me the music is fundamental, especially in a Western where the dialogue is purely aphoristic. The films could just as well be silent; one would understand all the same. The music serves to emphasize states of mind, facts and situations more than the dialogue itself does. In short, for me the music functions as dialogue.”

-Sergio Leone

I post this as a proud member of the feminist elite - finally, finally, FINALLY a music video gratuitously objectifying the male physique has been blasted into the videosphere.

This video is NSFW. This video is NSF your mother. This video is NSF you if you're prude, rude or got a no semi-nudes 'tude. There is butt. Shakin' butt. Toned shakin' butt.

Technically stolen from Ben, though the video had a very different effect when I saw it originally in miniature on his iPhone...

PS. This song is circling through my head like a glockenspiel tornado.

Embiggen for embroadening:

10 Buildings that look like Other Things

There should be some special level of hell for people who ruin memes with lazy misspellings.

Old, but Hoffman just reminded me of it, so posty posty:

Why is this so cathartic?

Look at the intensity in those eyes...

There are no words for this.

This may not be safe for work.

I enjoyed this video, but feel even more compelled to post it here because Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi Birgisson's craggy smile, featured extensively throughout the video, is a perfect Shark Week valediction.

Borrowed from Jon:

Hilarious work absence e-mails by David Thorne

I like this, but would be more excited if they'd thrown in a non-human character or two. Seeing a graphically explicit Mr. Potato-Head pull a flail from his ass-compartment to beat down some tryclop aliens would've been rather epic.
