James Bowthorpe is the round-the-world champion cyclist who beat the previous record by an epic 20 days. Anthony's Crook's 30 Century Man movie follows him across the Norwegian countryside in the middle of a “white” night. It works perfectly well with Mogwai's “How to Be a Werewolf” playing in the background.

Move over Phoenix
My 2011 prediction is that Jamaica will be next "it" band from France. Following in the footsteps of Phoenix. Other video below:

Low Tech 3D optical illusion
Amazing installation playing by Mexican artist Gabriel Dawe. It's a 3D optical illusion rendered with low tech craftsmanship rather than hi-tech computering.

Black Box Revelation
I've posted about these guys before. They're kind of like The White Stripes. Except from Belgium... Oh, and they're two blokes, not the Meg-Jack routine. I guess they're also named black box, kinda different from white stripes.So, basically opposites. Except for the sound. Anywho, for anyone who's been to Belgium, the clip is spot on.

Just saw this for the first time now. Meantime they're all over iTunes. Must have been living under a rock...

Darwin Deez. An Update
Posted about this guy back in March. He finally played at The Mercury Lounge before Thanksgiving and he is very much channelling Napoleon Dynamite. He quite literally had an 80's-music-mash-up-dance-routine between songs. Great show.

There Are Times I Wish I Watched TV
Not often, mind you. But it would be fun to catch the above happening live.
