God damn. Remember Breakbot and their awesome watercolor music video? Yeah, me too. Anyway this video came out last October but I have missed it until now. Charles was telling me earlier about the new Breakbot single coming out today and then I stumbled on this gem.
Why isn’t there a Breakbot album yet? “Baby I’m Yours” came out like two years ago, was awesome, and then nothing. What’s that about? Breakbot! Put down the baguette and finish the fucking record already, all right?
Where can I get a spatula microphone? Here, maybe?
I am glad to see Hot Chip working with Peter Serafinowicz again. The last video they did together was awesome and weird and dissonant and perfect. When I saw this one pop up, I had my hopes up that it would be more of the same weirdness. I was not disappointed. We’ve got dancing monks, Reggie Watts, some space blonde, libraries, and god damned General Zod.
Why is General Zod here? WHO CARES.
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!!!
My good friend Liron, drummer extraordinaire, was recently featured on Reni Reni TV. What is Reni Reni TV you ask? I have no fucking idea, but this video rules and you should check it out.
And check out his website. He’s a super good dude. LironPeled.com

If you don’t want to watch SJ working on her alphabet, skip ahead to 4:12 for the meat of this thing.
I really like this exchange.
SJ: “She has tissue around her like a ghost.”
M: “Why does she have tissue around her.”
SJ: “Because she’s a ghost.”
But the real heart-melter is this bit.
M: “Will you say hi to Uncle Joe?”
SJ: “I can’t see him.”
M: “Just say, ‘Hi, Uncle Joe!'”
SJ: “I want to see his face.”
I am a big fan of her gibberish song, too.

Whoa.
Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok. WHOA.
I want to say mean things about Iasos here (because I am an asshole), but I found myself smiling through this whole video. It’s so good! Can you honestly tell me, The Black Fucking Laser, that you didn’t smile as he looked into the camera and beamed while rocking out to his “tropical dance” music? Can you really tell me that without being a liar?
This comment on the video is super great too.
I can feel the intensity of your joy filling my heart and your playful music elevating my spirit!
Your smile went on to beam like a thousand stars……
Thank you
“Great fun!”
Thanks, Nina!
I recently sent SJ a postcard that looked like this:
It said something like:
Dear SJ, how are you? I saw this postcard and I thought of you. Isn’t it funny AND pretty? Roosters aren’t supposed to be pink! Ha ha ha ha ha! Anyway, that’s all for now! Is this your first postcard? Love, Uncle Joe.
Sure, it’s not the most gripping postcard ever written, but she’s 3. Play to your audience. I thought it was fun.
I hadn’t heard about it from my brother, so I asked him. This was his response.
YES. And then he sent me this.
Some days you just miss the shit out of your family, you know?
