Chris Cunningham

In my years of diving into the bowels of the net I have discovered many fantastic, awe-inspiring things. On the flipside, I've discovered a lot of things that would feast on your soul or end up blaming God for the atrocities that have been burned into your memory.

Which is a perfect segue to a music video director that evokes such awe-inspiring soul-feasting. That's a very fine line to walk. To literally make me cry at what I've seen or to violently reject everything I believed to be real and quite possibly both. lol

While looking up a rock band called The Horrors on youtube, I noticed that one of their videos was directed by the man this post is titled after. Chris Cunningham.

(The Horrors - Sheena is a Parasite)


Cool video. The band is ok. Kinda got a 60's-organ-rock-from-Britain vibe. I bet if I gave them a few more listens I would end up liking them. But that is not why we're here. The music is only secondary to the special effects. Oh so creepy effects.

Chris Cunningham is well known in England for directing music videos. Known for collaborating with Aphex Twin. If ya don't know who Aphex Twin is, he (Richard D. James, yup only 1 guy in this band) is considered a genuis in the electronic music world. Sort of like what Trent Reznor was to industrial music in the 90's. Well, at least I think that. lol

(Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy)


Seems like everything that Chris Cunningham directs turns out to be totally awsome.

(Aphex Twin - Monkey Drummer)


(Bjork - All is Full of Love)


Now we go from something beautiful like robot chicks making out to a big mindfuck that is called....

Rubber Johnny


You see? An awe-inspiring soul-feast.

Internet Gold

As some people who know me personally, know I love Japan. I dunno what it is about that country. Hot Japanese chicks, maybe? Their batshit insane sense of entertainment? Raw fish wrapped in some rice and seaweed? All of the above and more?

Thanks to my web lurking, I've found some internet gold from Japan.

(Japan's Version of Everyone Poops?)


Internet gold I tell you. INTERNET GOLD!!!

Urban Legends & Ghosts

As some of you may or may not be aware, I'm fascinated with the paranormal. You know ufos, ghosts, and various other freaky quasi-science stuff. There is a site with a series of mini-documentaries called JK Cinema.

http://www.jkcinema.com/

The site doesn't really have much to offer except for the Urban Legends Series. It's a badass series of mini-docs about the paranormal & supernatural and, you guessed it, urban legends. Most are narrated by a monotone computer voice. They just recently released the 8th of the series.

This new one is very intriguing with a creepy ghost/afterlife subject all within the realm of science.

Here's another I found on youtube...


While were on the subject of spirits and ghosties, youtube has a wealth of ghost videos. A treasure trove, if you will, of ghost picture and video compilations.


one of my favs

Youtube has got a ton of ghost stuff from Japan. They seem to capture freakier unexplained things on film than here in America.



I dunno if ghosts are real or not. I've had a few sightings. Just a couple of freaky shadow ghost encounters. I did have a friend who called those entities "The Audience". He claimed they were all around watching us but rarely able to interact with our physical reality.



I'll end this post with a funny vid about ghosts. Afterall, you can't take everything too seriously.
