My brain can’t handle the bouncing thoughts anymore.

Music
I’ve recently re-come-upon 8-bit music (originally mentioned by my brother, Evan) and gone so far as to download Little Sound DJ and a Gameboy emulator to start some jams. Stupid learning curve. Anyway, a free EP from David Sugar can be procured from the 8-bit peoples web site here. Also, Animanaguchi has free music also available from the peoples here. It might be a little odd for your tastes but hey, it’s free.

Also on my listening radar thanks to music historian, Joseph Henderson, is the gut funny song “What You’re Into” (video link) from Flight of the Concords, provided for you via the glorious convenience of the internet. To repeat myself on purpose: go listen to radio campaign. It’s worth your time.

Another notable free music download is Harvery Danger’s third album, “Little by Little”.

Film
In case you haven’t noticed, my tidbits mostly consist of me stealing noteworthy items from other people and recycling them to you as “new” ideas. Today I’m stealing from my friend, Joshua Blankenship, who apparently spends his entire day trolling the internet and posting things on his blog. How he transformed that into a career I will forever wonder and envy. Anyway…

King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Looks like a dang sweet documentary(/comedy?) on none other than two nerds vying for the high score in Donkey Kong. What more can film give us?

Heima. Another documentary (sorry to be so educational and informative) on the Icelandic band Sigur Ros. The trailer is pretty much the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen on film. It could very well just be a really long music video … but it would be the most beautiful music video you’ve ever seen.
