Tone Def Jam? Beyonce and the Internet

Bwahahaha! Rolf just sent me this and it's really well done. Take the video, drag the file into iMovie, remove the sound and voice over the last two notes of each line and you've just sullied the reputation of the hottest woman in music today. At what point does Def Jam and Jay-Z put a hit on the internet? My theory is that Etta James and Aretha Franklin made the video.

Dancefloor Dale & Baconman

I was sent 2 videos today. One was perfectly fine, the other was incredibly offensive. Baconman is a random video about this big goofy dude in a bacon suit. It's just sort of bizarre. The other horrifying cinematic debut was created by Warp Records and is entitled "Dance Floor Dale", a half-animated video of a man and woman committing unspeakable sex acts . I've decided Dance Floor Dale is quite possibly one of the grossest videos I've seen in a while. Dance Floor Dale is the new Goatse. I refuse to link to it. My eyes are bleeding.

Flickr Video

Flickr video just launched and I'm a little disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high but I just assumed that they'd release it to all users and we'd be allowed to upload more than 90 second clips. I was sort of imagining an artsy/filmmaker community as opposed to YouTube's TV saturated world. Does "unique experience" actually just mean "uniquely limited"? I love Flickr, but I just don't think this is a great way to launch something that we've been anticipating for a year. (That's like 10 years in internet time) Not that I myself could build anything better. You know, I think I might be a player hater.
