Videos, 10/5

It's ROCKTOBER (haha, come on, why not) and I'm sick with the stomach flu. As a result, I can't really string words together into coherent sentences very well (might also explain why saying ROCKTOBER is suddenly really amusing to me). However, my eyes are fine (though somewhat glazed) and I've been watching the following videos as I slowly mend:

• Wolf Parade's "I'll Believe In Anything" was one of my favorite tracks of 2005. I just saw the video and am in love all over again. I miss those big weird dramatic videos from the 80s, man... when everything on MTV told a story. Sigh. Anyway, this video plays like an intruiging warm-up to Marie Antoinette (two weeks away!).


• Baked Professor. BoingBoing is right, minute 28 is hilarious.


• Love, love, love Mates of State video for Goods. Goofy white boy dancing done right.


• Had never heard of French Canadian songstress Emilie Simon until someone raved about her online last week. Her videos for Flowers and Desert are on YouTube in all their hazy neo-Burton glory.


• National Geographic videos always crap out on me before the end, but what I was able to watch of this segment on Zoo dentistry was pretty damn awesome. Shoulda been a vet, man. Shoulda.


• Apparently everyone and their mother has seen this, except for *g and me: Tom Wilson from Back to the Future sings Biff's Question Song. Points for the Busey diss.


• And, last but not least, Cute With Chris, which is exactly what it sounds like and surprisingly funny (at least it is in my currently medicated state).

Here's to health, wealth, and other things lacking from my existence. Cheers, peepies.
