Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs INC.
Dope collaboration between The Scratch Perverts and a handful of UK artists. I don't know what they are promoting (even if they are promoting anything) but the vid is def worth repeated viewings.
"Wrong Garden"
Dope piece that was recently shown at the Chelsea Flower Show over in the UK. Only thing I can dislike about it is that it was designed by pompous ass James Dyson. You know, this douche ( http://popsci.typepad.com/popsci/images/2007/06/26/king.jpg) who makes those ridiculously expensive vacuum cleaners. And to be fair, this guy has not done anything specific to offend me. He just looks like he would be a snob.
Anyway the fountain gives the illusion that the water is moving up the incline and spilling over the edge against gravity. All achieved by a series of hidden pumps or Elfkin magic. whatever tickles your pickle.
I'm not eating that....
To all you weirdos with this strange ass bacon fixation! It does NOT make everything better! Peep...
"Somewhere in Iowa, a pig is being raised in a confined pen, packed in so tightly with other swine that their curly tails have been chopped off so they won’t bite one another. To prevent him from getting sick in such close quarters, he is dosed with antibiotics. The waste produced by the pig and his thousands of pen mates on the factory farm where they live goes into manure lagoons that blanket neighboring communities with air pollution and a stomach-churning stench. He’s fed on American corn that was grown with the help of government subsidies and millions of tons of chemical fertilizer. When the pig is slaughtered, at about 5 months of age, he’ll become sausage or bacon that will sell cheap, feeding an American addiction to meat that has contributed to an obesity epidemic currently afflicting more than two-thirds of the population. And when the rains come, the excess fertilizer that coaxed so much corn from the ground will be washed into the Mississippi River and down into the Gulf of Mexico, where it will help kill fish for miles and miles around. That’s the state of your bacon — circa 2009."

Where The Wild Thigs Are
Even if you have no knowledge of the book that this film is based on, you can't deny that this looks F'n amazing!
Soul Power
After seeing "Ali" and "Rumble In The Jungle" ( a MUST see documentary about the Ali/Foreman fight) I always wanted to know more about the musical festival surrounding the fight. Well here it is. I know it was playing in select theaters back in July but I don't know whats going on with it know. So if you have opportunity to see it, take it!
Besouro
I don't know what country this film is from but GAWT DAMN! Best believe I'm going to find out and keep my fingers crossed that it will have english subtitles.
