“Humdrum Town” – Theophilus London

I really like the VHS quality and Karaoke parts of this video. The song is nice too.

And his dancing at the end, NAILS IT.

I have the hots for…

I really like a girl who can sing. Now make that girl a Korean Apple nerd? Adorable.

You (May or May Not) Belong with me

A little while back I wrote a song for a girl. I was going to release it as part of an EP entitled “Embarrassing Songs I Wrote for Girls”, but that probably won’t be happening right away so I thought I’d just release it now on its own.

The song is meant to be funny and sorta romantic I guess. I sampled the beginning of Taylor Swift’s “You belong with me” (that’s where the hilarious song title comes from) and messed it up a little bit. I thought the results sounded kind of like a Magnetic Fields song, so I tried to channel Stephen Merrit while I was writing the lyrics. I threw in the Bon Iver bit at the end because I needed an excuse to use auto-tune. It is so much fun to play with. It was really hard for me not to auto-tune the whole song.

Who is this girl? In the song I refer to her as “Internet Dream Girl” so she’s a girl I know mostly from the Internet. Let’s just leave it at that for now.

Did the song work? I suppose it served its purpose. See, this nice young lady doesn’t live in Winnipeg so I didn’t really have a shot anyways. I just wanted to… I guess let her know. She probably already knew, but now I know that she knows.

The song is a bit sappy but I’m a sappy guy. I hope you enjoy it.

Charlotte Gainsbourg (Feat. Beck) – Heaven can wait

Did I get first-blogging-props on this one? I expect all the cool kids to like it.
I dedicate the Gainsbourg half to Rebecca Budyk and the Beck half to Lauren Sellen. They’re small girls but big fans.

Nostalgia

Some of you may not know this but this website has existed in one form or another for over 5 years. In terms of “the internet” that is pretty long, a year before youtube even.

Anyways, this is what the site looked like in what was potentially the best time of my life…

Stop Motion Vogueing

I’ve blogged about my voguer acquaintance Dangerkat before and now she put up a new super-duper fancy video. Stop motion is in. The photographer behind this bit of magic, Sarah Piantadosi, is from Winnipeg but now lives in London. I hung out with her a little bit when I was there but unfortunately I didn’t vlog anything.

Additionally, the best few seconds of my life were captured with stop-motion.
