Pixels Before Swine

Remixing musical movie classics is a risky business… copyright issues kill the creatives… nevertheless this Australian mad man who calls himself Pogo has done a few very nice jobs, such as this wonderful classic “charlie and the chocolate factory” video remix:

Mary Poppins, Walt Disney, Harry Potter and many more remixes can be found here.

Maybe fundamentalist christians are right about the fact that rock’n'roll is coming directly from hell. Sometimes though Satan is pretty friendly and entertaining as in this wonderful madness from Swiss combo King Louis:

Lovely clip by Swiss film director Flo Wyss.

The so-called war on terror in the last few years has led to the demonization of Arab culture in the Western world. A lot of people start to see raging fundamentalists when they think of the Arab world. The reality tells a different story. These are a few MTV Arabia commercials to prove the Arab world is blessed with a great sense of humour:

Wonderful Urban Junior video clip filmed in a typical Swiss gym. You can feel the smell of Swiss cheese sweat:

In the wonderful world of rock’n'roll there are always mad spirits around and therefore many men are needed to tame them. A master of the garage punk rock exorcism is this man: Reverend Beat-Man. A nice guy who turns into a monster or monsters when released on stage. Here is one video to proof the madness:

This mad man also runs the infamous Voodoo Rhythm Record label.

Let’s scratch them videos…! The technology is here, but still there are very few video scratch wizards on this planet. Here is one from the Battlejam label:

It will be interesting what we will see in the future, when Serato Scratch, Pioneer DVJ, Numark Virtual Vinyl and all the other music scratch soft- and hardwares will not just be used for DJing, but also for VJing.

The king is dead! Long live the jester!

The art of mashing up pop tracks has also reached the video clip culture. This is an example of nicely mixed audio and video featuring Faithless, Eurythmics and Madonna produced by a certain Robin Skouteris:

Here’s another skilled video mash up VJ: VJ Brewski.

It is time the ukulele gets more attention. GUGUG and his friends are pleasing us with some nice ukulele madness, such as this beautiful Ramones cover song:

Grab your own ukulele and go…

On an hour long quest to find some nice one minute movie I came across the Godfather one minute version. LOL:

There are more of those shorts such as Hamlet and Sherlock Holmes here (collected by a guy who calls himself raoul e. duke… nice one).
