Standing Cat!

Now here is a wonderful example of the right choice of music making all the difference in an otherwise somewhat lackluster video. The original just has the standard retarded rustling noises in the background but this version is absolute edge-of-your-seat amazing.
Found on the "answer to my dreams" website Kitteh Roulette.

SATURDAAAAY

Given that tomorrow is Monday this is kinda the opposite of what I am feeling right now, but I recently stumbled across this old gem in my bookmarks and couldn't help sharing!

Andy Warhol on YouTube

I saw this video on another blog...

(including another gem of a Braniff Air commercial with Dalí...)
And it led me to a multitude of Andy Warhol youtube videos:








I think my favorite is the TDK ad...and the Dalí screen test.
Did you know Andy Warhol had three television shows?
"- Andy Warhol's Fashion (ca. 1980)
- Andy Warhol's TV (ca 19981)
- Andy Warhol's Fifteen Minutes (1987)
ANDY WARHOL'S FASHION was shown on Manhattan Cable, Andy Warhol's TV was shown on the the Madison Square Garden Network and Andy Warhol's Fifteen Minutes was shown on MTV."
from Zamboni, where you can watch and even download some episodes.
Also, couldn't resist posting this Duchamp interview found during the Andy Warhol-athon:

On Cuteness

Vanity Fair had a really great article recently on America's addiction to Cute. Check it out here.
I think this article makes so many great points and is very well-written. It could easily be extended into a book--some of the topics were only briefly touched on, and could be expanded. For instance, his point about the cute addiction affecting even food: the obsession with cupcakes and, I would add, slider burgers! And everyone is familiar with the self-perpetuating black hole that is watching animal videos on youtube, which induce "cutegasms" (a term I had never heard before).
Well worth a read.

But seriously. I want a pug dog. And I will call it Pugancious D. And it shall be so.

This is SO COOL.
There are 'making of' videos on youtube as well!

Kitschkitschkitsch

I love the NY Times' 'Kitsch of the Day' feature. Two recent ones just beg to be shared:

Army of Lovers--Crucified. Gotta love the gratuitous boob shots and the panties with the rose on the crotch.

Jean Paul Gaultier--Aow Tou Dou Zat. Who knew he sang?
Speaking of kitschy music videos, this is one of my faves:

And this version of it cracked me up:
