bg/ish: I-Movix SprintCam v3

The first showreel for the SprintCam v3. Pretty sick. Or, as I was told, "all cheerleading should be done at 1000 FPS". No doubt.

Blow this one up to full screen and take in the HD goodness.

bg/ish: Fine Dining

Some foods don't necessarily sound like they go together. Chicken and waffles come to mind. But we all know what happens when you doubt "chicken & waffles", Roscoe's comes along to pwn your ASS son. You think, "I'm never eating chicken and waffles", but you can't help it, cuz the truth is dey run tings!

In light of that, my dinner last night was off the heezy, for sheezy, and it was cheesy, neezy...



bg/ish: Weekend Recap - Flying Lotus, KODE9, The Bug @ Mighty

welcome back kiddies...

it's been a pretty hectic month of April so far for me. i swear 2009 is flying by so fast i can barely keep up. lots of ins, lots of outs, and a lot of what have yous... at any rate, i finally got out to club Mighty this weekend and took in a pretty fresh DJ set from the likes of Flying Lotus, KODE9, and The Bug.



up first was The Bug, and although his "futuristic" mixing techniques got a little bit tiresome, his set was banging from start to finish. "working your core like a bunch of situps!" he worked the crowd into a mild frenzy and then killed us all with a Poison Dart... so sick. seriously, this track fucking kills!



up after The Bug was KODE9, founder of Hyperdub Records, and one of the illest dubstep DJs out. he spun some straightforward, heavy, dirty dubstep beats. you could feel it in your chest. ya boy! you can check him out on MySpace here.

Headlining the show was Flying Lotus, producer, California native and member of the extended Coltrane family. his set was mindblowing in all honesty. i can't really find any live footage that does it justice, but this video from late last year gives you a good idea of his style and technique. "it's... magnificent."



in the end it was a sick night of dancing to some deep dubstep grooves, and it barely managed to justify the $20 cover charge. hah. i'm still a cheap bastard.

bumbaclot!

bg/ish: "Keep your distance...but don't look like you're trying to keeping your distance."

Few things in this world are as horribly demented and evil as the Snuggie. We are truly living in the last days, spoke of in the book of Revelation, where the Lord hath sayeth to John, "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and those who weareth the Snuggie, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."

Yea verily, my eyes have seen and beheldeth something far more disturbing over at Craftastrophe, the butt f***ing, filthy ass Peekaru.


* shudder *

Now, cleanse your soul with this video.

bg/ish: "Besides, I know a few maneuvers."

If ever an event were made for bg/ag publishing, it would be this, the Rental Car Rally, which this year runs from San Francisco, CA to Yuma, AZ, a 650 mile course. Say it with me now... "sweeeet".

The Rental Car Rally is a "single leg competitive road trip starting in San Francisco and ending in Yuma, AZ. There is no set route, but each team must hit pre-defined checkpoints, the locations of which will be provided in the rally booklet given to each team at the starting line. Each team must provide photographic evidence of each checkpoint. No photos = disqualification. Each team is scored by a combination of odometer reading, team style, and hijinks". And yes, as the name implies, it requires a rental car. Better get the insurance, ifyouknowwhatimsayin.

Cost of entry is $250 per team, which includes "admission to the rally, the rally provisions bag for your team (the rally booklet w/ rules and coordinates for checkpoints, the rally contact sheet w/ info on other drivers, two mix CDs, energy drinks, condoms, cigarettes, beef jerky), the May 13th party and drink specials, the party in Yuma, the chance to win one of 12 Flip Video cameras, and the the rally prizes."

I've come up with a fool proof plan that involves ag selling his body to pay for our team. He'll be on board or he'll die! (In which case he'd be replaced by chair, to whom the responsibility to defile one's body for money would then pass.) But let's not sweat the details right now.

agIsh: Loss For Words

Holy ish, this is so awesome! I've had an animated GIF of a dancing bear on my computer for the longest time and never really bothered looking for the original source. Boredom got the best of me and a couple of searches led me to the keywords "breakdancing bear" and eventually led me to this video.



I found him! It's actually a decent song accompanied by a rather entertaining video. Enjoy!

agIsh: "..and I'm Free, Free Running." (a la Tom Petty)

When one thinks of Spring Break, one thinks of beer bongs, gratuitous nudity, and promiscuous sex (in that order). When you're a graduate student, however, Spring Break means more time for more lab work! Booyah! :'(

These guys gave me a good laugh when I needed it so I'm sharing it with you.
