Your Saturday evening rogue music video is here!
I love me some techno and I love my computers. Printers, on the other hand, are obviously made by minions from Hell. Now, if only more printers could do this that opinion might change…
Animation by Tinspider Studio via Aniboom (we will see more from tinspider for sure)
An 8-bit character escapes the 2D world. (looks more like 16-bit, but who’s counting?)
Animated by Steve Jones
Formed in 1993, the Squirrel Nut Zippers play an eclectic mix of jazz, blues, klezmer, and swing. They found some popularity in the late 90’s during a neo-swing revival that included artists such as Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and Mocean Worker.
“Nut Zippers,” is a southern term for a variety of old bootleg moonshine, and the band’s name comes from a newspaper account which related the story of a highly intoxicated man who climbed a tree one night, refusing to come down even after authorities arrived. The article’s headline read: “Squirrel Nut Zipper.” It is also the name of a candy dating back to 1890. via

I’ve watched this video a few times, being a Glitch Mob fan, and I still have no clue as to what in the hell that description means and how many drugs I’d need to take to relate that to the video. If you have an idea please let us know in the comments. Please.
Whatever the video is all about, it’s some interesting animation and The Glitch Mob lay down beats with some serious gravity.
Animated by Markus Feder.
I just discovered The Glitch Mob for myself a few months back and am rapidly becoming a big fan. This video is definitely helping that along.
A frog can make for an interesting imaginary friend. The tune from Eatliz is as inventive and irreverent as the story.
Directed and animated by Guy Ben Shetrit [et al].
I can honestly say that this is the first time I’ve seen toast used as an animation medium.
All 215 loaves of bread used in the making of this video were past their sell-by date and rescued from the clutches of certain disposal. via
