Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. - Oscar Wilde

Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
Tonight’s Friday Night music video adds some class to the place.
The Gas Clock is a fragment of Goethe’s tragedy where Faust and Mephisto travel in time and space, between the living and the dead, in a maze that they may never find their way out of.
Animated by Mattias Gordon of whom we are a fan! More of his well done animation here.
For the unscheduled weekend music video this week I offer up a brassy folk tune with a tale to match and animated by one of our favorites at the crow’s nest.
Another otherworldly animation by Mattias Gordon. This one tells of a traveler that is served more spirits than the merely alcoholic ones. From the album Devil’s Tale by Adrian Raso and Balkan brass band Fanfare Ciocarlia.
Another unscheduled weekend music video featuring another brain-bending animation by Mattias Gordon.
Music by Hazmat Modine.
One of the nice things about long holiday weekends is that you don’t have to think – you can just kind of experience life as it goes by. Well, this video doesn’t give you a choice – you can’t think and you will experience it as it screams along. That’s not a bad thing but do hold on.

Music by Hazmat Modine.
Hazmat Modine describes itself as “blending elements of early Blues, Hokum Jugband, Swing, Klezmer, New Orleans R & B, and Jamaican Rocksteady” and I would say that this song hits every one of them on it’s meander.
And speaking of meander… This video does that too in an incredible stream-of-conciousness way. By the time I asked myself “What in the hell am I seeing?” I had already gotten absorbed by the blues-boppy tune.
