Creepy But Oh So Good




Whooray!!!! This is a legal download blessed by the band. This is the first I hear from this new band, Passenger . And I really like what I hear.

The song sounds sweet and upbeat but it is actually creepy about a stalker following the moves of the girl he likes. Check out their myspace for a more music.

"I see you nearly every night. I see you when you’re down in your house, With my night vision binoculars. I creep as quiet as a mouse. Well I get jealous when I see you stroking his hair. But it's ok I tell myself cause I know it's only I’m not there. I’m the boy who answers the phone. I’m the boy who eats lunch on his own. I’m the boy with the monotone. I’m the boy who still lives at home. I’m the boy with the iron shirt. I ’m the boy who watches you work. I know where you keep your skirts. I know where your secrets lurk"Talk about creepy!

My New Favorite Song:: Straitjacket





Angry Alanis is back y'all. It took a break-up and depression but now she's back! However, it's not all anger. New album, Flavors of Entanglement is overly positive, but this song "Straitjacket" has so much venom and attitude squeezed in 3:10 minutes that it is more than enough for the whole album. This is my anthem!!!


The music and beats are superb and the lyrics, well... take a look at them below!


---


Something so benign for me, construed as cruelty

Such a difference between who I am and who you see

Conclusions you come to of me routinely incorrect

I don’t know who you’re talking to with such f**king disrespect


This shit’s making me crazy, the way you nullify what’s in my head

You say one thing, do another... and argue that’s not what you did

Your way’s making me mental: How you filter as skewed interpret

I swear you won’t be happy til I am bound in a straitjacket


Talking with you’s like talking to a sieve that can’t hear me

You fight me tooth and nail to disavow what’s happening


Your resistance to a mirror I feel screaming from your body

One day I’ll introduce myself and you’ll see you’ve not yet met me


Grand dissonance: The strings of my puppet are cut

The end of an era >> Your discrediting’s lost my consent

Dandruff Trails Might Kick Your Ass



A fun ad campaign for Schwarzkopf Anti-Dandruff-Shampoo by DDB Duesseldorf with comic-style illustration that uses "dandruff trails" leading to your hiding place.

My favorite is ad with the HUGE husband entering the bedroom with the wife's lover's dandruff trail leading to the closet. And what about the magician ad, did all that dandruff come from a rabbit?!?

Trapped with a Sony PSP


This is one of the wittiest ads I have seen in a long while. The Sony PSP ad by TBWA, Madrid shows a suspect that appears to be cuffed to the lamp post, but when you look closer, you see that he is actually playing on PSP and can not let it go while the police are watching him. Brilliant!!

Toyota: Trees on Wheels


'If you are going to drink, please don't drive.'

I like it. It's subtle and simple but delivers a good point: when you start seeing things like trees, pillar and road signs moving, you are too drunk to drive!!! See the rest of the Toyota campaign which was created by Saatchi & Saatchi, Malaysia here

$10 Disposable Anti-iPhone

About time! This is perfect for any trip or as a back-up phone, and I love how the company are calling it the anti-iPhone. Not only does it only cost $10, the company gives you a $5 rebate if you return the phone for recycling. Super green!

Also, at 77 grams, 14mm thickness, this Hop1800 phone is one sharp looking beast that gives you 4 hours of talk time and 50 hours of standby. Great for promotional use also, the company is marketing it where any business can put their logo or image. At least it would be more useful than other promotional junk! See and read more here.

Biggest Drawing in The World


What an incredible project. Artist Erik Nordenankar created the biggest drawing in the world by utilizing GPS data tracked on a briefcase that traveled via DHL for 110,664 Km, 6 continents and 62 countries for 55 days. The "self portrait" started and ended in Stockholm, Sweden. Simply amazing!!! See the video below for details of this awesome unusual art project. Click the above picture for a HUGE version.

Yael Naim - Too Long


I waited for so long outside myself
You see, I was pretenting to be someone else
I was longing to see who I wanted to be

I irrigate illusions then let them grow
How can I pacify myself and let go?
And I run wild to see who I turned out to be...

And I've been waiting on my own
I've been waiting for too long
Not strong enough to be with you

... But it was too cold in my world, my world Continue reading this post...
