Skrillex - Bangarang (Official Video)

Just for shits and giggles. This video is pretty neat. Well, maybe creepy and demented is more like it...

Dice Suicide - Ganja Babe Photoshoot

A video shot by Jon Zombie with a Canon HV20 using footage from a photoshoot that he shot for a local suicide girl, Dice Suicide. Warning: as with most posts containing Suicide Girls, this video is NSFW and contains nudity and bong-rips​. Have a safe and stoney 4:20!

Suicide Girls - Love Letter to Belle and Sebastion

This is why it would be cool to be a professional musician. The money and the fame would be nice, but if I had women like these sending me videos like this, I don't know if I'd ever have the focus to work on music again. Either way, like most posts with the Suicide Girls in it, this video is NSFW and should only be viewed by adults.

I have been a HUGE Belle and Sebastian fan since my best friend put "The State I'm In" on a mix CD we played incessantly on a cross country road trip.

When their new album Write About Love came out and had a song called "Suicidegirl" on it, I had a complete fan girl moment which indie rockers are supposed to be too cool for.

When I told the other girls we were all so honored that we decide we had to do something to let them know how much we loved it. Carrina, Cheri and I got together with Mike Marshall who made our other movies and created our video ode to Belle and Sebastian.

Hope you like it!

The Simpsons Tap Bansky the Graffiti Artist for Show Opening

This isn't the first time Bansky has offered his interpretation on The Simpsons

When Digitally Read was first conceived, one of the first posts posted was a collection of the works done by Bansky the British graffiti artist. Now, surprisingly, The Simpsons tapped him to create an opening sequence for their newest episode that aired last Sunday (the first time The Simpsons have gone for help outside the studio) and he definitely didn't disappoint. The result is a humorous, and possibly literal, interpretation of the way 20th Century Fox outsources most of the animation required for The Simpsons to a South Korean animation studio.

According to Al Jean, executive producer on the show, "Fox Didn't Tweak it Too Much." Jean tells The New York Times that the producers submitted Bansky's script to the network's standards and practices department, and what came back was "95 percent... just the way he wanted." Jean describes the cut material as "even a little sadder" than what aired, and is quick to chime in that Bansky's version of the show's overseas facilities is "very fanciful, far-fetched. None of the things he depicts are true. That statement should be self-evident, but I will emphatically state it." See the opening for yourself below.

Legos Galore!

Like any red-blooded American, I spent a fair share of my youth playing with my favorite Danish export: Legos. Tonotopik's previous post reminded me why I love those little blocks. They are so versitile that people all over the world are finding uses for Legos beyond simply building with them. Case in point: Lego USB hubs, routers, USB drives and a fully functional Lego Star Wars fooseball table (though any rough play would surly destroy the table like the Death Star did Alderaan. Check 'em out.

It should be worth noting, however that none of these products are officially licensed by Lego. Apparently, Lego is too busy rocking out to give us what we really want

Yoshi Akai, Mad-Scientist/Musician

It is hard to explain exactly what Yoshi Akai does. (He has no affiliation with the music instrument company, or small green dinosaurs.)  I suppose its safe to say he makes art that makes music. Akai melds analogue products of yesteryear with digital products of yesteryear, throwing in some random items for fun. For example, he experiments in mixing turntables with 8-bit synthesizers, which get their input from a revolving Swedish cracker.

Here's my favorite invention of his. A 3 channel, 8-step synthesizer redesigned to take Lego pieces as input.

Another good invention are these gloves with sensors in them which create music based on motion and proximity. If he added some lights on the tips it would make for hours of pure entertainment.

As Akai says, this is "building sound more than playing sound."  For more goodies, check out www.yoshiakai.com
