This video is blowing up all over the internets, and for good reason. Spend the next twenty minutes with some urban explorers, as they take a look at the Undercity of New York and its subways. This sort of stuff has always fascinated me — even though it shivers me timbers to think about doing it myself. Perhaps it’s the allure of Lex Luthor’s underground lair.
Either way, this is shot mighty prettily — which also reminds me that I’m loving the short 30-second NYC films that Frants is doing every day. If you haven’t, check ‘em out.
The Wife and I had a delightful Vacation Lunchtime with Klove, Jamie, Jeff and Robyn at Iron Hill Brewery… Very thirsty.
An absolutely beautiful video from the people at StoryCorps: “Danny & Annie”. Described on their website:
Danny Perasa and his wife, Annie, came to StoryCorps to recount their twenty-seven-year romance. As they remember their life together from their first date to Danny’s final days with terminal cancer, these remarkable Brooklynites personify the eloquence, grace, and poetry that can be found in the voices of everyday people when we take the time to listen.
Song For The Moment
“Darling, It’s Alright” by Francis and the Lights
Wanted to put this special video SFTM up for a few reasons:
A.) The singer sounds uncannily like Peter Gabriel, which (to me) is a good thing. I think the song itself would fit right in with anything on Us or So (again, a good thing).
B.) The video is a “single-take live performance, edited with light.” Not only impressive, but highly enjoyable.
C.) His dance break at the end of the song. (Which makes every move I’ve ever tried on a dance floor terribly inadequate in comparison.)

This video made me quite happy, even after I realized it was for a commercial.
(Update — while we’re on adorable animal videos, let’s discuss baby lambs.)

Last week, the Onion A.V. Club announced a wicked new project: “A.V. Undercover”. The premise is a fun one — they compiled a list of 25 songs for 25 different bands. Each week, one of the 25 bands comes in, takes a look at the list, and picks a song to cover. Once a song has been performed, it is crossed off — leaving the final band with only one selection to play (my money is on “Kokomo”).
For the first song, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists chose “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears. As you will see in the video, they tore it up something fierce. My esteem for Mr. Leo (already quite high: Bloomfield, NJ raised!) has risen a few more notches.
The real question on everyone’s mind, though, is whether or not Starbucks will be releasing these bad boys for download and/or purchase. For my iPod’s sake, I hope the answer is yes.
(Note — for some odd reason, the Onion won’t allow for the resizing of their embedded videos. You can still watch and listen above easily — just click on the screen to start/pause — although a little of it is cropped. If you would like to see it in full screen, check out the A.V. Club Site.)
