"One night, me and Bill were fucking drunk and taking a piss together. I see this aerosol can and squirt his dick with it. He starts screaming and falls down. I look at the can and it says, WARNING: DO NOT SPRAY ON SKIN — HIGHLY TOXIC. I poisoned Bill through his dick!" - Ozzy Osbourne

This is a video on the official UN Youtube channel. It is completely absurd.

It seems that the person who made this video and the rest of the campaign (and presumably got money for it) over the course of two and a half years is Firdaus Kharas, the founder and, it seems, sole creative force behind Chocolate Moose Productions:

Chocolate Moose Media, led by renowned social innovator, director and humanitarian Firdaus Kharas produces animation, documentaries, videos

Most of his videos are like this, and he has somehow made a career out of it. More than that, he would have you believe that he is a creative genius!

Millions of lives! It is a shame that more people do not know of him

Thanks to @enkdipper for making me aware of this incredible individual.

Abigor interview, part I - Bardo Methodology

Interview with TT of Abigor - including an exclusive stream of their long-awaited split album with Nightbringer, Thy Darkened Shade and Mort

weirdest interview ive read recently

the interviewer badgers one of the early black metal guys on why they weren't more violent if they were actually satanists whose job was to be EVIL, which is honestly a pretty reasonable line of questioning

Dali's Retrospective Bust of a Woman looks like a french version of Lulu! Something a bit horrifying about it.

Here's a gem from Killing Joke's debut EP, completely unlike anything else they've ever released. If you're wondering where the connection is between Post-Punk and Dub, this is a representation of that link in its most concrete and obvious form

It sounds a bit like a more atmospheric and somehow angrier version of The Missing Brazilians. Fun use of delay/reverb and a really cool genre fusion—the only thing I've heard quite like it is Jah Wobble and Holger Czukay's How Much Are They. They're such cool songs that I once made a playlist around them, and specifically the groovy nocturnal vibe they have going

the hairshirt doldrums

on having a brain injury

One of the most affecting essays I've ever read—Kate Wagner has this frank and humble quality about her writing that makes you empathize rather than sympathize.

People make a lot of early Stereolab's krautrock influence and while it's undeniable in regards to the motorik drumming, I felt like the churning guitar stuff was pretty modern. Can and Neu!, the big motorik bands had less distortion and more space.

However, Can's very early work, like in their unreleased (until recently) debut, is genuinely quite similar to early Stereolab, to the point that the guitar tone and organ sound are almost identical—compare the following:

Stereolab, of course, bring a completely different flavor to their music. In any case, Delay 1968 wasn't even released when Stereolab released their first few (or any of) their albums, but it's an interesting coincidence.

Rock Lobster: 3/10

Pros - the riff

Cons - the singing - whatever the heck the female vocalist is doing between verses - help how to endure for 7 minutes????? - russian orthodox church organ belongs in grazhdanskaya oborona, not here - whatever the heck the russian orthodox church organ is doing

[imoanurparentsnames]

i redid this one because i believe you are WRONG and need to listen to it AGAIN:

rock lobster: 11/10

pros:

the riff

the singing

whatever cindy wilson and kate pierson are doing between verses (including the animal noises)

the fact its 7 minutes so maximum danceability

in fact it is not 7 minutes, but 6 minutes and 52 seconds, which looks like B52 (idk if this was intentional but its still awesome nonetheless)

very danceable (especially after "LET'S ROCK!!!")

what church organ i havent noticed that but if its there its definitely to make it more awesome

cons

it is so energetic that most other songs ur meant to dance to will seem bland compared to this

[mindrat]

I was young and foolish once so I will admit these points after listening to it again. It is not in fact a 3/10

but I still don't like the dude's singing

Rock Lobster: 8/10

Pros

riff

keyboards

the lyrics because they're nonsense

Cons

still cannot stand the dude's voice
