Continuing on my election kick, check out “We Need a President (It’s Obama!)” from Bay Area artist Eklectyk, and members of the Napalm Clique. The viral video caught on pretty quickly with local media and blogs, and the video’s director even had a request for a copy from Oprah at the DNC.
My favorite viral video guys are back at it again, with another straight-to-Internet smash to follow up mega-hits Ghostride the Volvo, Huge in Asia, and Give Me Your Heart (in San Francisco). Check out “Damn It Feels Good to be a Banker” and show these guys some love– after all, they’re Blogadilla readers!
Curious about all the fuss people are making about CERN’s Large Hadron Collider? Fear that it will rip the fabric of space, where time becomes a loop? Just love to jam? Either way, science has never been cooler.
Comin’ straight outta Geneva…

Check out this great, original stop-action music video from Dan Meth, producer of The Meth Minute. If you haven’t seen any of his stuff, be sure to head over to ChannelFrederator.com:

Ya gotta love all these mashups of old video and new music– in this case Sesame Street just got a whole lot funkier:

Jim Henson + Tim Burton.
“Mysterious Mose” by Mark Caballero and Seamus Walsh.

Mysterious Bonus Round: Play this video twice and you’ll want to buy the damn song.
They call her La Gringita (”The Little White Girl”).
She is only 8.
Turn up your volume.

And if you haven’t seen Matt’s earlier works (better music).

Yesterday Adobe released their Adobe Media Player (AMP).
It has a nice iTunes Store feel to it, but without having to buy anything - TV shows, podcasts, movie shorts, all free and all playing smoothly. I recommend you download it (it’s free!).
Also, this is perhaps the smoothest-running 1.0 version of anything I’ve ever used (apparently bug-free).
Suck it, Windows Media Player!

Folks, if you’re ever in need of some groovy music and/or video or are looking to expand your musical horizons, particularly on a slow working day, check out my boy Max Abelson’s Super Groovy Music/Video Spectacular (aka “Max Abelson and His Funktified Flying Fortress of Fantastic Videos of Music”– these phrases are copyrighted, folks!).
Each day, Max and his gang of Oompa Loompas over at Tumblr pour through the series of tubes that is the Internet and find awesome, old media content that I personally could never find on my own. The programming schedule roughly breaks down as follows:
Today, for instance, check out the throwback to Gilberto Gil, from 1967. The video quality may not always be great, but the material Max comes up with certainly is.
Here’s a background short on Baron Davis and Emanuelle Chriqui’s film, One Shot, that we profiled last week. Is this what professional athletes from Hollywood do in the off season?
[Editors note from Heywood]: Blogadilla is pumped to welcome long-time reader and contributor Nerol Someones as a new author. Be (somewhat) nice to the guy- we’re glad to have him!
Baron Davis of the Golden State Warriors, A.K.A. B-Diddy, A.K.A. Boom Dizzle; has just added another A.K.A. to his moniker: Rollergirl.
Check out this bizarre, but comical short film of the Baron, directed by Emmanuelle Chriqui, better known as Sloan from the HBO series Entourage:

I have no idea what “Dong Dong Mao” means, but you know it’s going to be good when the description says:
“桃花朵朵开 peach blossom one after another.”
My personal hypothesis: this is a Chinese boy-band audition tape.

I think I’m in love.
This one is hot off the presses, folks.
First they showed the world how to ghostride a volvo. Then, they took Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and China by storm on a quest to become Asian Celebrities, bringing you web hits such as The Hanoi Hustle. Now, having teamed up with LonelyPlanet.tv, the HugeInAsia crew (who are Blogadilla readers!) brings you a new video, entitled “Give Me Your Heart (in San Francisco).” Enjoy, and spread the love like our man Freddy!
[If you haven't seen this already, it's time you do]:
“Thriller” performed by a reported 1,500+ inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, the Philippines.
A prison sentence offers a lot of free time to practice these kinds of things [and of course, the female lead is played by a man].

It’s almost hypnotic - I’ve already watched this video three times and still want more. These women are ready for their own stage show:
