Putting together a new issue of Faesthetic is always grueling work, so I took Monday off and headed to Cedar Point for some fun in the sun. While waiting in line for The Maverick (awesome ride btw) I noticed a man, dancing and singing. I was lucky enough to follow him throughout the hour and a half line, and I present to you this joyous video of him in all of his blue glory.

Bonus points go out to the Think Faest viewers that can accurately guess the songs he was singing. Post your answers on Youtube and i’ll send some prizes to the first few people that get it right.

Fun new video from Michigan’s own Charlie Slick.

Several months ago, I started a music project called The Unknown Callers, and recently we set out to make a music video for one of the songs. Using old footage shot in July of 2006, I put together a creepy video for the new song “Panic Attacks Again!” performed by Golab. (lyrics by me)

The video was made for fun, and not much thought went into it beyond making it as weird as I could make it. Admittedly both myself and Joel from Golab are die hard Harmony Korine fans (How can you live in Ohio and not love Gummo?!) so it really shocked me to see this trailer today for Harmony’s new movie “Trash Humpers.” If I knew about the movie, would I have made the Golab video with the creepy grandpa mask? Probably… but it sure is a weird (and slightly amazing) feeling to find so many aesthetic similarities between the two youtube videos.

What do you think?

COTTON MUSEUM “PUS PUSTULES” 12″ LP VIDEO / via Tasty Soil

The Brooklyn-based Sound/Friends just released the Mas Y Mas full-length “Proud Sponsors of Pepsi.” Yes, I am friends with them, but I honestly think it’s one of the best releases of the year. Other releases are equally impressive (7″‘s featuring The House Floor, Conjov, and Chubby Behemoth). If you are skeptical, you can listen to everything for free. Sound/Friends is organized by the amazing kids at Playlab, “an American Design Studio.”
