<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Nu devorează numai produsele cumpărate, ci şi orice persoană diferită de marele uriaş &#8211; societatea. Aruncă orice îi este nefolositor, fără să se întrebe dacă este sau va fi folositor. Ignoră invizibilul pentru că nu-l poate observa, şi se ghidează numai după ce-i sare în ochi. Nu acceptă vechiul pentru că alimentele perimate miros urât. Nu-şi pune multe întrebări pentru că riscă să primească răspunsuri. Reneagă natura pentru că de acolo se trage. Urăşte singurătatea pentru că de-acolo iese la iveală invizibilul din el. Este Bun orice este sau va fi un <em>produs</em>, Rău restul. Observă realitatea fracţionat. În jur are obiecte valoroase foarte bine categorisite. Nu poate trăi fără ele pentru că el însuşi este tot un obiect. Cel mai valoros obiect din lume. Nu are fantezie. Se limitează doar la concret. Uneori este religios; îi dă lui Dumnezeu atât cât merită. Îşi calcă-n picioare semenii, pentru că el trebuie să fie în vârf şi dacă n-ar face-o ar fi călcat în picioare de alţii ca el. Vorbeşte numai despre obiecte, orice lucru imaterial îi provoacă un blocaj de gândire. Jobul pe care-l are îi va clădi o carieră. El îşi doreşte o carieră. Îşi doreşte să ajungă şef, să fie stăpân peste o mână de oameni pentru început. Piramida nevoilor sale are undeva aproape de vârf imperativul de a fi temut şi de a stăpâni. Nu-l interesează învăţăturile el este învăţat. Nu se apleacă să asculte. Doar vorbeşte. Când ascultă nu o face pentru a asculta, ci pentru a critica. Pune preţ pe orice. Oamenii pot fi cumpăraţi. Banii pentru el nu sunt un scop, ci mijlocul cu care poate cumpăra tot, chiar dacă pentru asta trebuie să producă bani întreaga viaţă. Se căsătoreşte numai pentru a avea şi o amantă. Merge cu maşina numai pentru a se expune privirilor. Se simte mic şi insignifiant în două picioare. Are nevoie de atenţia tuturor, pentru că niciodată nu a acordat atenţie cuiva. Creierul este un obiect care funcţionează ca o maşină. Are mai mulţi prieteni decât îi poate permite comunicarea să interacţioneze cu ei. Copiilor săi le cumpără mitraliere de jucărie ca să se obişnuiască de mici cu prelungirea firească a braţelor oricărui om războinic. Se laudă că citeşte mult. Se consideră cult. Important. Îşi impune punctul de vedere logic, imbatabil. Este raţional. Nu vede dincolo de zidul conceptelor. Nu citeşte poveşti copiilor pentru că a fugit întreaga viaţă de copilărie. Perioada aia plină de fantezie prostească. Îi e ruşine să se prostească de faţă cu alţii. Numai copiii şi nebunii o fac. Are o atitudine de superioritate care îi aduce numai beneficii. Semenii lui îl respectă şi îşi doresc să ajungă ca el. Mulţi intră în competiţie cu el. Dar el, omul superior, îi devansează fără prea multe probleme. Se simte bine când învinge pentru că a umilit pe cineva. În sinea lui tremură de plăcere când umileşte. Astfel îşi dovedeşte superioritatea într-un mod Absolut. Astfel, ajunge la vârful piramidei nevoilor. Piramida lui Maslow e perimată!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Mamma, non portarmi via la Nikon, perchè i colori sono così brillanti, e abbiamo visto estati così verdi. Mamma, guarda, uso la Kodachrome, e da quando c&#8217;è il bianco e nero non mi piace più. Simon frigna e piange, è disperato, perchè la mamma vuol portargli via la macchina fotografica,  e la pellicola. Oggi mamma Kodak fa lo stesso con noi, ma la nostalgia è puramente reazionaria, antiquata, una scomoda coda, per una volta.</p>
<p><img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border:0 initial initial;" title="l'amore è una violazione di copyright" src="http://walwian.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/paulsimonkodachrome.jpg" alt="l'amore è una violazione di copyright" width="280" height="281" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>KODACHROME Avviso di fine produzione<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pellicola KODACHROME 64/KR<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Cessazione vendita KODACHROME<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Il 22 giugno 2009, Eastman Kodak Company ha annunciato che, quest&#8217;anno, verrà sospesa la vendita della pellicola a colori KODACHROME, diventata un marchio iconico nel campo della fotografia da 74 anni. Le vendite dei prodotti KODACHROME, dall&#8217;introduzione della prima pellicola a colori sul mercato mondiale nel 1935, sono diminuite notevolmente nel corso degli ultimi anni in seguito all&#8217;adozione di altre pellicole o al passaggio al digitale da parte dei fotografi. Oggi, KODACHROME rappresenta solo una frazione dell&#8217;1% delle vendite totali di Kodak nel settore delle pellicole fotografiche.</p>
<p>Nonostante le sue eccezionali funzioni, la pellicola KODACHROME richiede un processo di sviluppo altamente complesso che ha portato i fotografi a sperimentare e adottare altre pellicole KODAK più innovative, in grado di assicurare immagini a colori di elevata qualità tramite un flusso di lavoro più semplice.</p>
<p>Sebbene la pellicola KODACHROME offra caratteristiche distintive e prestazioni ineguabili da altri prodotti, gli attuali utenti sono incoraggiati a provare le altre pellicole Kodak. Kodak continua a introdurre sul mercato pellicole innovative: solo negli ultimi tre anni, ha commercializzato sette nuovi tipi di pellicole professionali.</p>
<p>/ <em>segui gli sviluppi</em> / <a href="http://walwian.com/2009/07/20/kodachrome-paul-simon"><strong>Fw &#62;&#62;</strong></a></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><strong>Perché Kodak ha deciso di sospendere la vendita della pellicola KODACHROME?</strong></p>
<p>A causa del calo delle richieste da parte degli utenti, la produzione continua della pellicola KODACHROME non è più attuabile. Nel corso degli anni, gli utenti sono passati dalla pellicola KODACHROME ad altri metodi di acquisizione fotografica, sotto forma di pellicola o digitale. In breve, il numero di utenti della pellicola KODACHROME non è sufficiente per poter continuare l&#8217;offerta di questo prodotto.</p>
<p><strong>Recentemente, quali sono state le percentuali di vendita della pellicola KODACHROME?</strong></p>
<p>KODACHROME rappresenta attualmente una frazione dell&#8217;1% delle vendite totali di Kodak nel settore delle pellicole. Sebbene KODACHROME rappresenti un marchio iconico utilizzato dai fotografi da ben 74 anni, oggi gli utenti hanno cambiato le loro abitudini e le vendite sono calate in modo significativo.</p></blockquote>
<p>Questo è quanto. Intrufoliamoci tra le righe. Guardiamo la pellicola in contro luce. Cosa sta accadendo? Kurt Cobain, allora sviluppato in Kodachrome, se ne stava sulla copertina di Rolling Stones Usa con la sua bella maglietta &#8220;<em>Corporate Magazines Still Suck</em>&#8220;. Come a dire: la roba su scala industriale è il male, e dunque fa schifo. Le industrie aprono nuove produzioni. Diversificano. Creano metastasi. Si ramificano e avviluppano. Le industrie fanno cose, montano oggetti, plastificano bisogni e li consegnano all&#8217;immortalità.</p>
<p>Qualcuno è diverso. Qualcuno è <em>migliore</em>.</p>
<p>Procter&#38;Gamble è il nuovo Sacro Romano Impero. Ha una struttura feudale e centralizzata allo stesso tempo. Fanno sapone, grassi da ingurgito. Producono saponi per pulire lo sporco che i loro cibi chimici lasciano incrostati sui piatti. Sono loro i prodotti chimici che ci mettiamo addosso per rimuovere l&#8217;olezzo del nostro corpo che espelle le tossine. E&#8217; un business  semplice: in tutto l&#8217;occidente l&#8217;unica cosa a buon mercato, facilmente accessibile, e immediatamente consumabile sono i grassi e i loro composti. Non c&#8217;è molta differenza tra quelli negli snack e in quelli per insaponare le mani o quelli da rovesciare nel cesso, <em>dopo</em>.</p>
<p><img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border:0 initial initial;" title="state giù dopo il fallout" src="http://walwian.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/50s.jpg?w=300" alt="state giù dopo il fallout" width="300" height="297" /></p>
<p>E&#8217; un mondo industriale collegato a doppio filo alla materialità delle cose che produce. E&#8217; un mondo anni 50, in cui casalinghe dallo sguardo anfetaminico, sovraeccitato, invitano a comprare, comprare, comprare, in un sogno bulimico ed eiseneweriano dell&#8217;America che finanzia il proprio armamento atomico con la spesa per la casa. E&#8217; un mondo conformista e chiuso, medioevale, basato sulla triade <em>moglie-macchina-mestiere</em>, <em>consuma-produci-crepa</em>, <em>famiglia-patria-wallmart</em>.</p>
<p>E&#8217; un mondo direttamente collegato a quello di oggi. E&#8217; un mondo generato dalla più grande vittoria militare della storia, è un mondo che sarà messo (parzialmente, momentaneamente, inutilmente) a ferro a fuoco dal proprio benessere, che consentirà, su scala industriale, di sviluppare bisogni <em>altri</em> rispetto a quelli basilari ed animaleschi grazie ai quali prosperava il mondo keynesiano ed atomico.</p>
<p>Mamma sa cucinare. Papà lavora in un ufficio. Vende tubi di ghisa o polizze di assicurazione. I <em>negri</em> imbustano la spesa nei supermercati. Impariamo a convivere con la bomba. Impariamo ad amarla. A scuola ci fanno vedere i cartoni. I cartoni spiegano che se domani scoppia una bomba all&#8217;idrogeno, è meglio accucciarsi dietro un muretto. Altrimenti si viene polverizzati. Le radiazioni provocano lesioni. Le lesioni non sono uniformi. Si  muore un pezzo alla volta. La signora Eisenower dice che Jack è <em>molto caaarino</em>, ma <em>troooppo giovane</em> per la Casa Bianca.</p>
<p>Le cose vanno bene. Conta i centesimi che diventano dollari. Conta i dollari. Dalle unità alle decine. Siamo la boom generation. Possiamo comprare oggetti. Qualcuno farà vinile per noi. Qualcuno ci darà una pellicola e una macchina fotografica per dare forma all&#8217;inverno del nostro scontento. La pellicola a colore farà arrivare l&#8217;estate. Bruceremo, in acido. Ci calmeremo e ci quieteremo. Chissà i nostri semi quando fioriranno. E&#8217; il 1959, il 1962. E&#8217; il 1967 e il 1969. E&#8217; andato.</p>
<p>Qualcuno produce cibo di bassa qualità che ci spinge verso la trombosi e il cancro. Qualcuno produce pellicola per stampare le fotografie. La differenza tra bufalo e locomotiva, è che il bufalo può scartare di lato e cadere, mentre la locomotiva ha la strada segnata. Le Corporation del consumismo ancora producono come all&#8217;inizio. Hanno solo raffinato le esche e peggiorato la qualità. I bufali come la Kodak hanno scartato di lato e sono caduti, hanno cambiato e innovato. Hanno segnato le epoche e sono morti e cresciuti insieme a noi.</p>
<p>Rileggere le righe del comunicato. C&#8217;è qualcosa di <em>diverso.</em> E&#8217; come se la Kodak stesse dicendo, tra le righe</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Ora verrete da noi con la vostra melanconia. Vi mancheranno le pellicole ancient regime, maledirete il formato digitale, che è senza memoria, non è cool, non è vintage. Ci assalirete con i bastoni perchè abbiamo tradito. Abbiamo ceduto all&#8217;innovazione. Siamo stati, ci direte, poco filologici.</em></p>
<p><em>Vedete, cari ragazzi, noi siamo un&#8217;industria. Siamo sani, siamo svegli. Non produciamo snack. Produciamo pellicola. E&#8217; tecnica, è arte, è pensiero. Ora, con questo cambiamento, perchè di cambiamento si parla, stiamo tutelando il nostro portafoglio. Ma potremmo farlo anche speculando sulla finanza del real estate.</em></p>
<p><em>No. Noi abbiamo una storia diversa. Facciamo soldi, sì. Tutti fanno i soldi. Noi li facciamo diversamente. La nostra produzione, i nostri prodotti, non possono essere separati da uno spirito simile a quello dei workshop rinascimentali. Noi forniamo gli strumenti all&#8217;arte, alla creatività, alla memoria e alla costruzione dell&#8217;immagine del mondo. </em></p>
<p><em>Non vi lamentate perchè ora stiamo cambiando. Guardate, vi stiamo indicando la strada. Stiamo imponendo lo standard del futuro. Vi siete fidati nel 1935. Dovreste farlo anche ora. Nessuno allora si strappò le vesti perchè il dagherrotipo era finito. Oggi vi suggeriamo di fare in un modo nuovo. Dovremmo sempre fare in un modo nuovo.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Se produci per un centinaio di anni stronzate, è una possibilità che tu crei un pubblico di stronzi, assuefatto alle cazzate. Se tu crei qualcosa, qualcosa che abbia un senso, un oggetto del fare, un oggetto che contenga know-how e cultura, che sia un <em>opinel, </em>è, dice il vecchio pastore, seduto davanti all&#8217;organo a canne, <em>molto probabile che tu sia un buon protestante, e che la tua opera abbellisca il mondo, e renda grazia a Dio</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Luca</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:0;"><em>&#8220;When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it&#8217;s a wonder I can think at all.&#8221;</em></span></p>

<p>Pearl Jam &#8211; Do the Evolution</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/3C9CH3q9PLI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/3C9CH3q9PLI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Questo brano è la settima traccia del disco Yield del 1998.<br />
<a href="http://lifesmusic.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/yield2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-380" title="yield2" src="http://lifesmusic.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/yield2.jpg?w=300" alt="yield2" width="300" height="259" /></a></p>
<p>Il video musicale fu diretto da Kevin Altieri, conosciuto per la sua regia nella serie animata di Batman, e Todd McFarlane, conosciuto per il fumetto Spawn e il video dei Korn &#8220;Freak on a Leash&#8221;.</p>
<p>Il video inizia con l&#8217;evoluzione della vita, dalla cellula più piccola, all&#8217;estinzione dei dinosauri e il regno dell&#8217;uomo sapiens. Il video poi rallenta per narrare la storia dell&#8217;uomo, partendo dall&#8217;uomo primitivo, la natura violenta e i cambiamenti durante i secoli. Sono presenti anche altre tematiche, come la caccia alla balena, la vivisezione, l&#8217;inquinamento, alterazioni genetiche e (implicitamente) anche internet. Il video si conclude in quello che si ritiene essere uno scenario futuristico di auto-distruzione della razza umana, includendo un bombardamento a tappeto di un aereo futuristico, computer che dirottano le menti umane, e infine un&#8217;esplosione nucleare che lascia le città in rovina.</p>
<p>Il video sembra accollare la colpa della brutalità del genere umano ai leaders; con molte scene mostranti un cardinale o un prete, un presidente americano, un possibile leader del Soviet con una bandiera raffigurante un missile su uno sfondo rosso.<br />
Qualsiasi cosa ritratta complementa la canzone e segue il significato delle parole. Per esempio, quando Eddie Vedder canta &#8220;<em>Buying stocks on the day of the crash</em>&#8220;, la scena mostra uomini d&#8217;affari che si suicidano saltando dagli edifici, come nel giovedì nero e nei risultanti suicidi dopo il crollo del mercato azionario di Wall Street nel 1929.</p>
<p>Senz&#8217;altro un video forte. Argomentazione vere, reali e molto toccanti. Purtroppo anche molto attuali.</p>
<p>Che ne pensate di questo video e di questa canzone? Vi è piaciuto?<br />
Fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate&#8230; <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Aspetto notizie ^__^</p>
<p>Alla prossima!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Estoy al mando. Soy un hombre.<br />
Soy el primer mamífero en usar pantalones<br />
estoy en paz con mi lujuria<br />
puedo matar porque en dios confío<br />
es evolución, nena, si</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Soy una parte del hombre<br />
abasteciéndose en el día de la explosión<br />
en el bosque soy un camión<br />
en las cimas rodantes, voy a aplastarlos a todos, si<br />
es el comportamiento de un rebaño<br />
Es evolución, nena</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Admírame, admira mi casa<br />
admira mi hijo, es mi clon<br />
esta tierra es mía, esta tierra es libre<br />
haré lo que quiera pero irresponsablemente<br />
Es evolución, nena, si</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Soy un ladrón, soy un mentiroso<br />
aquí está mi iglesia, canto en el coro<br />
&#8220;aleluya, aleluya&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Admírame, admira mi casa<br />
admira mi hijo, admira mis clones</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Esos indios ignorantes no tendrían nada sin mí<br />
nada. ¿porqué?<br />
es evolución, nena</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Voy adelante. Soy avanzado.<br />
soy el primer mamífero en hacer planes<br />
me arrastré por la tierra, ahora estoy más alto<br />
veinte-diez obsérvalo quemarse<br />
es evolución nena<br />
Haz la evolución</p>

<p><strong>Selecionar os melhores videoclips existentes não é tarefa fácil . No entanto o ranking está formado em ordem qualitativa segundo os critérios caóticos de avaliação FDD S T U FF S e todos que aqui estão são obras primas que não deveriam ser julgadas, mas a polêmica é divertida. Evidentemente faltam muitos e sobram alguns portanto postem suas dicas de videos merecedores de espaço dentre esses. (Foram avaliados somente clips internacionais).</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>There are reasons why some musicians are able to extend their careers decade after decade after decade. When I was a teenager I had a poster of Eddie Vedder on the ceiling directly over my bed, right next to a blue-tinted poster of a flannel wearing Jack Kerouac hitchhiking on a rural road; yes, I am old and I was a strange kid. Pearl Jam  is always just beneath my surface and will forever coerce a squeal out of me when it wafts into my car stereo during a flashback lunch; literally, I clap my hands and jump up and down in my seat like a giddy schoolgirl.  Socially conscious (if not a tad over-reaching and evangelical at times), loud without being bombastic, smooth without being suave, Pearl Jam&#8217;s music transcends age, epoch, and geography instantaneously; Pearl Jam is my past, present, and future all at the same time. It was Vedder who watched over me while I embarked on my writing career at the tender age of 13 with my first journal. It was Vedder who calmed my nerves when I drove to my first gig as a music critic. It will be Vedder who will inaugurate me into the next stage of my life, whatever the eff that brings.  And now they&#8217;re reissuing a seminal album, <span style="color:#0000ff;">TEN</span>, in a blatant grab for money (as are most of these things). *Sigh* Well, none of us are perfect, I suppose, and I took a vow when I was a tender young lass&#8230;for better or for worse, I am a Pearl Jam fan. Which is why I used this reissue as an excuse to scour Youtube for what began as a Top Five Pearl Jam Videos list, but couldn&#8217;t be constrained by numbers.</p>
<p>My all-time favorite Pearl Jam song is <span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Yellow Ledbetter</em></span>. This is what I term a &#8220;fan appreciation&#8221; video so its images aren&#8217;t anything special, but this is the version I prefer over anything live I&#8217;ve found so&#8230;</p>

<p>This video for <span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Jeremy </em></span>played incessantly during my formative MTV watching years, and credit should be given to these guys for discussing relevant issues in their music and packaging it artistically enough for MTV not to notice and flippantly feed it to thousands of unsuspecting kids&#8230;</p>

<p>[You'll note that Genesis 3:6 is flashed in the video, which reads "When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate."]</p>
<p>Here are two videos from the 1992 <span style="color:#00ff00;">Pinkpop festiva</span><span style="color:#00ff00;">l</span> at which Pearl Jam performed some of their best live material to date: <span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Black</em></span> and <span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Alive</em></span>, respectively</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Even Flow</em></span> (1991): classic Vedder/Pearl Jam. Note the excessively long hair, flannel shirt, and cargo shorts; this is the archetype for musical production in the 1990s.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/9SPMfr38fCA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/9SPMfr38fCA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Do the Evolution </em><span style="color:#000000;">(1998) has</span></span> amazingly descriptive visuals and is proof of two things: Pearl Jam was ahead of their time and a product of the greater Northwest.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/copOYXvEsRs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/copOYXvEsRs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>

<p>Although this isn&#8217;t Pearl Jam, I believe Vedder&#8217;s work on the <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Into the Wild Soundtrack</span></strong> is as close to the real man as we on the opposite side of the stage will get. Here is <span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Guaranteed.</em></span>..</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Suelen tacharme de hereje cuando digo que a mí, Pearl Jam ni fu ni fa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Reconozco que éxitos como &#8220;Alive&#8221; o &#8220;Even flow&#8221; son excelentes, y no quiero desmerecer ningún trabajo suyo, pero su ritmo, en general&#8230; ni fu ni fa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por ello cuando escuché &#8220;Do the evolution&#8221; acompañada por las demoledoras imágenes del vídeo musical, sin el cual quizás el impacto no habría sido el mismo, habría jurado que no se trataba de Pearl Jam.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Otro grupo que se sale de su cauce para crear una pieza con un resultado genial, esta vez inseparable del escalofriante vídeo que ilustra su contundente mensaje.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/FoNmNmXExZ8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/FoNmNmXExZ8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Pearl Jam</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Do the evolution</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Woo..<br />
I&#8217;m ahead, I&#8217;m a man<br />
I&#8217;m the first mammal to wear pants, yeah<br />
I&#8217;m at peace with my lust<br />
I can kill &#8217;cause in God I trust, yeah<br />
It&#8217;s evolution, baby</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I&#8217;m at piece, I&#8217;m the man<br />
Buying stocks on the day of the crash<br />
On the loose, I&#8217;m a truck<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">Admire me, admire my home<br />
Admire my son, he&#8217;s my clone<br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />
This land is mine, this land is free<br />

Because&#8230; it&#8217;s evolution, baby!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I am ahead, I am advanced<br />
I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah<br />

<description><![CDATA[Do you remember the days when you would set your VCR to record the latest episode of Rap City or mad]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Do you remember the days when you would set your VCR to record the latest episode of Rap City or made sure you were at your TV for the worldwide premier of the newest music video? Well, at Rhymin &#38; Stealin, we sure do. And while we grew up during the golden age of music videos, we always had a soft spot for those of the animated variety. Over the years, their have been a bunch of excellent animated videos attached to incredible songs and we have taken the time to revisit this lost art in order to bring you the <strong>Top 10 Animated Music Videos of All-Time</strong>. Enjoy.</p>
<p><em>Due to the record companies hoarding their music videos, we are unable to embed most of the actual videos into this post. Just click the image for each video and you will be taken to YouTube where you can watch the videos in all their glory.</em></p>
<p>10) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eW91-5TC78" target="_blank">Tom Petty &#8211; Runnin&#8217; Down a Dream</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eW91-5TC78" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" title="Runnin Down a Dream" src="http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/3354/tprunnin.png" alt="" width="321" height="232" /></a></p>
<p>One of Tom Petty&#8217;s best songs is also one of TP&#8217;s best videos. Released in July of 1989 and directed by Jim Lenahan, this black and white video takes its visual style from the early 20th century comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland. This is a song that has aged incredibly well and the video is no exception. Compared to some of the other music videos that came out in 1989, this one is a gem. And as a bonus, Tom Petty looks far less goofy in animated form.</p>
<p>9) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1u43KDiWD0" target="_blank">Aesop Rock &#8211; None Shall Pass</a></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/l1u43KDiWD0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/l1u43KDiWD0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>This is the title track off Aesop Rock&#8217;s 2007 album and it was directed by San Francisco&#8217;s Ordinary Kids. It features the artwork of long-time Aesop collaborator <a href="http://www.superfishalsf.com/" target="_blank">Jeremy Fish</a> (who also did all the album artwork). The two have collaborated on many projects since 2005, and we <a href="http://rhyminstealin.com/2009/01/05/aesop-rock-and-jeremy-fish-ghosts-of-the-barbary-coast/" target="_blank">featured</a> one of them a couple months back. Such a unique song needed a unique video, and Jeremy Fish never disappoints.</p>
<p> <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1906422553403437987" target="_blank">Radiohead &#8211; Paranoid Android</a></p>
<p><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1906422553403437987" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" title="Paranoid Android" src="http://www.singingfool.com/photos/404/016997_12.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Radiohead are always on the cutting edge of everything, so it&#8217;s not a surprise that their foray into animated videos is so great. Released in 1997 and directed by Magnus Carlsson, this video really hits a high note for me around the 4:40 mark, when the fat man goes to town on a lamppost only to chop himself up and sink to the ocean where he is saved by two mermaids who leave him bundled in a tree. I wonder if any drugs were consumed in the storyboard process of this video&#8217;s creation?</p>
<p>7) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehl_VQuKRTc" target="_blank">Dire Straits &#8211; Money for Nothing</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOD805iAqjY" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" title="Money for Nothing" src="http://www.videoville.org/wiki/images/thumb/c/c6/Nothing2.jpg/550px-Nothing2.jpg" alt="" width="317" height="235" /></a></p>
<p>This is one of the first music videos I can remember watching and it was one of the biggest videos of the &#8217;80s, no doubt helping to propel the music video as another medium for artists to connect with fans. Directed by Steve Barron, this video was released on July 1, 1985 and went on to win numerous accolades, including Video of the Year. It was also the first video aired when MTV Europe launched in 1987. Mark Knopfler didn&#8217;t want the video to feature computer animation but he was persuaded by Steve Barron and MTV, who said they loved the song but wouldn&#8217;t play it if the video was just Dire Straits playing live. Good call.</p>
<p>6) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpDer9wdUEw" target="_blank">Gorillaz &#8211; Clint Eastwood</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpDer9wdUEw" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" title="Clint Eastwood" src="http://www.clipov.net/pic/gorillaz+%5Bclint_eastwood%5D+2001+3-29+vault_tv+clear.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Any video with zombie apes dancing like Michael Jackson in &#8220;Thriller&#8221; is fine by me. Since the Gorillaz are a &#8220;virtual band&#8221;, they pretty much have to animate all of their videos, but this was their first (and best) attempt. Released in early 2001, this video propelled the Gorillaz to massive acclaim and sales and helped them sell 7 million copies of their first album. This particular song features Del tha Funkee Homosapien, who had worked with Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn previously on Del&#8217;s classic Deltron 3030 album and which heavily influenced the Gorillaz style.</p>
<p>5) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFolUn88q-o" target="_blank">Beastie Boys &#8211; Shadrach</a></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/YFolUn88q-o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/YFolUn88q-o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>The Beastie&#8217;s abstract impressionist version of Shadrach was released in 1989 and directed by none other than Nathanial Hörnblowér (aka MCA). The video is set to a live version of Shadrach, which was originally released on Paul&#8217;s Boutique. Each frame of this video was painted by hand and its immense creativity makes it a perfect companion to an album as revolutionary as Paul&#8217;s Boutique. The Beastie Boys are the kings of great music videos, and this might be the best of them all.</p>
<p>4) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBvaHZIrt0o" target="_blank">Röyksopp &#8211; Remind Me</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBvaHZIrt0o" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" title="Remind Me" src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1192/picture2gqw.png" alt="" width="356" height="258" /></a></p>
<p>Everyone&#8217;s favourite Norwegian electronic duo have a few videos that qualified for this list, but &#8220;Remind Me&#8221; is the cream of the crop. Presented as a day in the life of an average London female from the perspective of an educational brochure, this gem won the 2003 MTV Europe Video Award for Best Video. It was created by French firm <a href="http://www.h5.fr/" target="_blank">H5</a> and benefits from having a damn catchy song to accompany it. Although I&#8217;m not going to lie, the first time I heard the song was in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y46bOvEOKco" target="_blank">this</a> Geico commercial.</p>
<p>3) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbH04pY7alA" target="_blank">Michael Jackson &#8211; Leave Me Alone</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJvfnQ_E7uw" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" title="Leave Me Alone" src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8441/picture4vpt.png" alt="" width="360" height="255" /></a></p>
<p>This is one of MJ&#8217;s hidden gems and is often overlooked when people talk of the Gloved Ones hits. Bad was an awesome album and this was the eighth single. It was only included on the CD version but the video made it another hit. It was one of MJ&#8217;s first F.U.&#8217;s to the media and the tabloid imagery resonates even more when you watch it today. Highlights include Jacko dancing with the Elephant Man, the wacky Elizabeth Taylor museum and Giant Jacko busting out of the Amusement Park at the end. This video was directed by Jim Blashfield and won the Best Video Grammy in 1990.</p>
<p>2) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoNmNmXExZ8" target="_blank">Pearl Jam &#8211; Do the Evolution</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C9CH3q9PLI" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" title="Do the Evolution" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5b/Do_the_Evolution.jpg" alt="" width="324" height="273" /></a></p>
<p>When this video came out in 1998, Pearl Jam hadn&#8217;t made a video since the award-winning &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gskAeWgEExk" target="_blank">Jeremy</a>&#8220;, successfully avoiding their fear of becoming known more for their videos than music. They got back into the game with Spawn creator Todd MacFarlane directing, and the resulting collaboration took over 16 weeks of production and the work of over 100 artists. When Pearl Jam released the video they stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>As artists we are challenged to expand the meaning of our work and by utilizing this visual medium and working with a visionary like Todd, we were able to further explore some of the themes we depicted in the song &#8220;Do the Evolution&#8221;. Basically we&#8217;ve tried to make a good stoner video.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mission accomplished. The video explores themes such as evolution, the Holocaust, the Crusades, the Great Depression, pollution and nuclear armageddon. It was nominated for a Best Video Grammy in 1999 and is a true showcase of the animated genre.</p>
<p>1) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW86DTpWWpM" target="_blank">A-ha &#8211; Take on Me</a></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/9AXNBR2smPY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/9AXNBR2smPY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>This was actually the second video for this song and I&#8217;m sure they are glad they did it, because it won six MTV Music Video Awards in 1986. It remains one of the most iconic music videos of all-time and was extremely influential in heping MTV in its huge rise to prominence. It was directed by Steve Barron (who also directed video #7 on this list) and features pencil-sketching over live movement to create the animated effect. You pretty much can&#8217;t even talk about great music videos without mentioning this one. And it also gave us <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBaN-hmLMAU" target="_blank">this</a> hilarious clip.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Exatamente, sábias palavras Cadu, só para complementar a música foi criada e foi melhorada pelos grandes mestres da música exatamente para aguçar nossos sentidos! É ridículo pessoas que criam melodias e letras apenas com o intuíto de ficarem famosos e ganharem dinheiro! A música é algo que está muito mais impressa em nossas vidas, em nossa alma! Porque nos arrepiamos ouvindo um solo de guitarra embalado? Porque nossos olhos se enchem de lágrimas ao escutar um trecho da música que nos lembra de algo? Porque choramos ao escutar certas palavras? Ou até porque nos arrepiamos ao ver uma demonstração de que todos são iguais (Como aconteceu no post anterior do Cadu na música &#8220;Give to Fly&#8221;)? O porque de tudo está no que a música deve representar em nossa vida! O povo deveria parar pra pensar que quanto mais merda eles escutam, mais merda eles vão fazer e ouvir! Nossa vida é um espelho, recebemos aquilo que refletimos! Se Neguem um pouco a ouvir essas músicas fúteis, e comecem a ouvir aquilo que engrandeçe e dignifica a alma!</p>
<p>___________________________________________________________</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Gostaria de postar duas músicas do Pearl Jam, com letras um pouco mais protestáveis! Concordo com Cadu, Pearl Jam é uma banda incrível, ao meu ver a melhor de todas, portanto meu primeiro som é Jeremy!</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Jeremy &#8211; Unplugged MTV</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/akX4-eE_oRs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/akX4-eE_oRs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>At home<br />
drawing pictures<br />
of mountain tops<br />
with him on top<br />
lemon yellow sun<br />
arms raised in a V<br />
and the dead lay in pools of maroon below</p>
<p>Daddy didn&#8217;t give attention<br />
to the fact<br />
that mommy didn&#8217;t care<br />
King Jeremy the wicked<br />
ruled his world</p>
<p>Jeremy spoke in class today</p>
<p>Clearly i remember<br />
picking on the boy<br />
seemed a harmless little fuck<br />
but we unleashed a lion<br />
gnashed his teeth and<br />
bit the recess ladies breast<br />
how could i forget?<br />
and he hit me with a surprise left<br />
my jaw left hurting<br />
dropped wide open<br />
just like the day<br />
like the day i heard</p>
<p>Daddy didn&#8217;t give affection<br />
and the boy was something<br />
that mommy wouldn&#8217;t wear<br />
King Jeremy the wicked<br />
ruled his world</p>
<p>Jeremy spoke in class today<br />
____________________________________________________________</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pra quem não sabe a música Jeremy é baseada em fatos reais, onde o colegial Jeremy Wade Delle, de 16 anos entra na sala de aula portando uma Magnum calibre 357, olha para a professora e diz &#8220;Professora, eu peguei o que eu realmente queria pegar!&#8221;, assim coloca a arma em sua boca e dispara em frente de todos! A música do Pearl Jam não está ai para mostrar o suicídio, mais sim para mostrar que a coragem e a força esta em quem sobrevive e ajuda o mundo mudar!</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;A música veio de uma pequena manchete num jornal, por isso eu acho que: você se mata e faz o maior sacrifício que poderia fazer, sacrificando sua própria vida e seu futuro tentando assim se vingar de tudo, da própria vida, de todos&#8230; mas tudo que se pode conseguir fazendo isso é virar uma manchete de jornal, como aconteceu com Jeremy. (&#8220;15 graus e tempo nublado em uma vizinhança suburbana&#8221;) Esse é o começo do clipe Jeremy, e é a mesma coisa que aparece no fim do Clip&#8230; ele se matou e nada mudou, nada muda&#8230; o mundo continua e você se foi. <strong>A melhor vingança é viver, e provar a você mesmo que você é capaz</strong>. Seja mais forte que essas pessoas. Então você pode dar as costas e ver como o mundo mudou.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Palavras de Eddie Vedder</em></p>
<p>_________________________________________________________</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E finalmente a música que mostra exatamente o lado podre da humanidade, que mostra o quanto nos importamos com o poder e sermos superiores a tudo e a todos! Por isso que se a humanidade continuar dessa maneira só nos resta apodrecer por culpa de nossas próprias armas!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Do the Evolution &#8211; Legendado (pra quem não manja inglês) ^_^</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Galassia. Una scia luminosa che corre tra i pianeti, poi rovina e si disintegra su uno di essi. Una cellula. Immagini precise, ma veloci e confuse. Ancora la cellula: viene fecondata e si evolve; assume un’altra forma e un’altra ancora, moltiplicandosi. L’evoluzione. Esseri viventi vengono uccisi da altri esseri viventi. Un dinosauro caccia e uccide prede, e sullo sfondo una meteora che devasta il mondo. Una scimmia uccisa da un’altra scimmia uccisa da un uomo ucciso da un altro uomo. L’evoluzione. La musica, graffiante, è un tappeto di pietre aguzze su cui si lacerano le parole. «<em>Sono in testa, sono un uomo. Sono il primo mammifero a indossare pantaloni. Sono in pace con la mia lussuria. Posso uccidere perché credo in Dio. È l’evoluzione, baby</em>.»<br />
<!--more-->Un uomo primitivo si strappa la pelle di dosso e diventa un uomo con tanto di giacchetta e occhiali e sigaro in bocca: l’evoluzione. Piove uomini: dopo l’estatico volo si disintegrano al suolo, di fronte a una porta con su scritto: ufficio. Dentro un uomo, che batte il ferro sull’incudine. Cavalli in corsa che diventano carri armati in guerra. L’esercito sfila sotto le proprie insegne, col fuoco di sottofondo. Uomini e donne e vecchi e bambini, tutti in strisce bianche e nere, dietro una rete di filo spinato. Libri che volano e muoiono tra le fiamme. Una moretta con tanto di rossetto e elmetto militare sorride e strizza l’occhio, mentre mima uno sparo con la mano. «<em>Sono un pezzo d’uomo. Compro azioni nel giorno del crollo della borsa. Senza impedimenti. Sono un camion: tutte le colline, le appiattirò. È il comportamento del gregge</em>.»<br />
È l’evoluzione, baby. La moretta balla sul solitario riff di chitarra. Danza, poi l’immagine esplode sul suo volto: un teschio. Cade la ghigliottina e la pioggia. Una balena in un mare rosso sangue. Il fabbro. Soldati che frustano schiavi che trascinano immense pietre. Ancora il fabbro. Un imperatore con un braccio sulle spalle del figlio, mentre osserva la sua città. Una selva di croci. Poi una mano tra di esse: un venditore di souvenir. Cinque dollari, il prezzo. «<em>Ammirami. Ammira la mia casa. Ammira mio figlio, lui è il mio clone</em>.»<br />
Indiani. La faccia di un indiano devastata da un morbo. Portare la civiltà. Poi uomini in fabbrica che costruiscono bombe e missili. Un uomo che tiene un braccio sulle spalle della figlia, mentre osserva compiaciuto il suo impero industriale. Come l’imperatore col figlio. «<em>Questo paese è mio, questo paese è libero. Farò ciò che voglio, irresponsabilmente</em>.»<br />
È l’evoluzione, baby. La moretta bacia un teschio. Palazzi che spuntano dalla terra come fiori. Un giudice. Poi un uomo, il papa, il presidente che parlano dai rispettivi podi. E dietro due mani che muovono dei fili. Marionette. «<em>Sono un ladro, sono un bugiardo. Ecco la mia chiesa in cui canto nel coro</em>.»<br />
Alleluia. Corre felice e spensierata una bambina nell’amena campagna. Vento e angeli nell’aria. Corre e calpesta un nido di formiche. No, è una bomba. Alleluia. Esplode. Alleluia. Guerra in trincea e uomini che si uccidono. «<em>Ammirami. Ammira la mia casa. Ammira la mia canzone. Ammira i miei vestiti</em>.»<br />
Cadono uomini da un barattolo in una ciotola e il cane se li mangia. Barboni danzano attorno al fuoco. Una ragazzina vittima di una violenza. Un bisturi che sale verso delle luci e una scimmia terrorizzata, legata sul lettino.<br />
Perché? È l’evoluzione, baby. La moretta estasiata di gioia e follia.<br />
Aerei che bombardano. Il pilota si toglie la maschera: un teschio. Un bambino piange. Un bianco frusta un nero. Ku Klux Klan, in danza attorno al fuoco. Un uomo scrive al computer, che si ribella e lo attacca e lo annienta, legandolo a sé con i propri fili: il computer si nutre dell’uomo, di tanti uomini. Tutti dentro a piccole cabine, strette e claustrofobiche, in un mondo comandato dalle macchine. L’evoluzione. Nascono bambini sfornati da una donna meccanica, tutti timbrati con un codice a barre sulla fronte. E i medici osservano, compiaciuti e soddisfatti. Tutti uguali. L’evoluzione. Un uomo viscido e ubriaco si eccita con delle immagini virtuali. Una ragazzina piange, seduta, con un uomo che la sovrasta con tanto di cintura legata alla mano.<br />
«<em>Sono in testa, sono evoluto. Sono il primo mammifero a pianificare progetti. Strisciavo sulla terra, ma ora sono in alto. Ventidieci. Guardala andare a fuoco</em>.»<br />
Le immagini scorrono via più veloci, mentre Eddie continua a urlare come un ossesso, sempre di più, sempre più forte. Come le immagini, come la musica che latra, cattiva, insieme alla voce. Lombrichi di ferro giganti divorano tutto ciò che incontrano, anche i loro simili. E distruggono ogni cosa. Immagini veloci e confuse, una dietro l’altra. Un cartello con su scritto Yield viene colpito da un proiettile. L’evoluzione.<br />
Bombardamenti a tappeto. Distruzione totale. È l’evoluzione, baby. Fai l’evoluzione. La faccia della moretta. Il suo occhio, rosso del fuoco della devastazione. È la terra, morta. No. È una cellula.<br />
Che ci vuoi fare: è l’evoluzione, baby&#8230;<br />
L’evoluzione, il progresso. Mi corre il pensiero a un’altra frase, sempre Pearl Jam e sempre Eddie Vedder. Di sette anni prima. La frase con cui si apre Porch: «<em>What the fuck is this world running to?</em>»<br />
Già. Dove cazzo sta andando questo mondo?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A few days ago, a friend of a friend &#8212; maybe even a friend &#8212; mentioned that people are easily amused these days. I can see their point.</p>
<p>Pop-rock recording artist Avril Lavigne may never sell 126 million albums. Hell, she may never sell 126 of anything. And yet somehow, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ25-glGRzI">her YouTube video for her song, &#8220;Girlfriend,&#8221; has more than 126 million hits.</a> And if you&#8217;re wondering whether this is the most views of any video ever, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/videos?s=mp&#38;t=a">this list</a> will challenge your notion of what people are interested in.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 351px"><img alt="Shes like, So, whatever! Im like, Literate? Never!" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/AkumaZ/Album%202/avril-lavigne-girlfriend.jpg" title="avril-lavigne-girlfriend" width="341" height="192" /><p class="wp-caption-text">&#34;She&#39;s like, &#39;So, whatever!&#39; I&#39;m like, &#39;Literate? Never!&#39;&#34;</p></div>
<p>I am quick to mock pop culture, and as a largely democratic form of entertainment, it is easy. (Where else can popularity determine careers in Hollywood, lifestyles of artists &#8212; from music to painters &#8212; and YouTube sensations?) Many countries can bask in the leisure of their non-hectic lives, watching television while surfing the Internet and eating a Hot Pocket (or foreign equivalent) while having a <a href="http://www.fleshlight.com/">hand-held device</a> perform sexual acts on their genitals. It&#8217;s as if Bill Gates, Jesus, Dane Cook and a unicorn had an epic tickle fight in a rainbow storm. </p>
<p>So we have a lot of time on our hands to watch poor-resolution videos and enjoy other leisure forms of questionable merit. So what? What&#8217;s the big deal? If you stop and think about it, this is human progress. In the grand scheme of things, it is very harmless compared to our past entertainment: burnings, lynchings and straight-up murder. </p>
<p>Before you vomit from the imagery, this is a good thing. For the most part, people in first- and second-world societies no longer have to worry about life and death on a daily basis. People can go to concerts, play volleyball and ogle women in strip clubs instead of fighting plague-like diseases, horrible elements and dinosaurs. And that energy once used to out-sprint Native Americans is now used to pound out poorly-spelled diatribes on the Internet because someone dissed their favorite band. Progress!</p>
<p>Pearl Jam saw the future of human amusement in their stellar music video (and great song), &#8220;Do the Evolution&#8221;:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/copOYXvEsRs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/copOYXvEsRs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>While Average Joes may not be strapping on the virtual reality/3D goggles yet, plugging in for their amusement is definitely a present form of fun &#8212; way safer and less exerting than stoning people. And as long as people are amused by a music video instead of being under or raining down harm, it&#8217;s all good.</p>

<description><![CDATA[It’s hard to believe that Backspacer is Pearl Jam’s 9th album.  Even weirder is that they’ve been in]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://blog.seattlepi.com/thebigblog/library/backspacer.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://blog.seattlepi.com/thebigblog/library/backspacer.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="259" /></a></p>
<p>It’s hard to believe that Backspacer is Pearl Jam’s 9<sup>th</sup> album.  Even weirder is that they’ve been in the cultural consciousness for 18 years.  7 more years and they’ll be eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. All of these things show their age, unlike the new album.  Critics are all repeating the same mantra: that this is their punkiest album yet. And they are mostly right (although I would argue that Vitalogy is up there as well).  They also are pointing out the brevity: at 36 minutes it is obvious on first listen that this is an album trimmed of all fat. I’m sure there are some great songs that didn’t make the cut, but the album is stronger as a result.  Short and punchy and to the point.</p>
<p>I am not sure why I continue to allow myself to get annoyed with some of the reviews in Rolling Stone.  Rob Sheffield wrote the review for Backspacer, and it’s a good review, with one major exception (It should be noted that Rob Sheffield was incapable for writing about a band for a few years without “cleverly” using some of their lyrics in an ironic (ie-stupid/lazy/boring) way. Case in point: Pearl Jam are still alive; Eddie Vedder’s thoughts arrive like butterflies; The band’s albums have all been washed in black, tattooed everything, etc…no, Rob, you cannot use those). Anyway, Mr. Sheffield’s major offense in the review was calling “Spin the Black Circle” off of Vitalogy filler. He claims that people were usually skipping those kind of songs to get to the latest torch song by the band.  While they very well may have skipped said songs, they were hardly filler.  I didn’t have the chance to see Pearl Jam on their tours for Ten or Vs, but I’ve seen enough footage to know they were a very kinetic live band, and that frenzy did show up on the recordings.  Their punky side showed up in songs like “Porch”, “Blood”, “Whipping”, “Brain of J”, “Do the Evolution”, etc.  None of these songs would be what Pearl Jam fans consider “filler”.  Stale references to lyrics and pop culture are a better definition, I think.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>But I am not writing to slag on Rob Sheffield (I actually enjoy some of his writing, when he’s not trying to be too cute). I’m writing to celebrate Pearl Jam, and their longevity.  As I write this, I’m listening to the first of 2 concert downloads that came free with the purchase of the new album. It’s touches like this that really make Pearl Jam seem for the fans, by the fans. It’s well documented that Eddie Vedder pretty much had an obsession with The Who while he was growing up.  He has gone to great lengths over the years to prove he is just a fan like the rest of us. I’ll do without quoting a particularly curt line from “Satan’s Bed” off of Vitalogy that proves this. Instead, I’ll mention that on the new album there are a couple of songs where he mentions just being a human being. And after all these years, it seems to me that he and his bandmates have won the benefit of the doubt. No, they aren’t as big as they used to be. But just like Elton John in probably the most flamboyant video of the 80’s, they are still standing after all this time.  See, now I’ve fallen into the Sheffield trap. At least I dragged another artist into it, though.</p>

<description><![CDATA[   I am not an artist. I can&#8217;t really say that I have ever created anything important or beaut]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>   I am not an artist. I can&#8217;t really say that I have ever created anything important or beautiful, but for the past 2 years now I have begun the creation of something that has become larger than myself. You may ask yourself, what could it be? A painting? A book? A film? Nay, it is a playlist. A playlist of songs specifically selected for their relevance and fun-inducing-sensation in zombie combat situations.  They can be anything that either relates to zombies or simply pumps you up in a battle with the living dead.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Here are some personal favorites of mine:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Get Ready to Die by Andrew W.K.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Fight Music for the Fight by The Bromheads Jacket</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">How It Ends by DeVotchKa</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;Four Seasons&#8221;  Winter Concerto by Vivaldi</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Kashmir by Led Zepplin</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Do the Evolution by Pearl Jam</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The Living Dead by Phantom Planet</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Thriller by Michael Jackson</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the use of this playlist? Well, it is a lot of fun to blast through some speakers while playing any number of zombie related video games. Of course it would also be heaps of fun if the world were to actually fall to the control of the undead.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t really remember exactly where the idea came from. I do know, however, that its early stages were inspired by the movie Shaun of the Dead. One memorable scene in the movies depicts the heroes in a pub, about to be swarmed by the undead outside. Suddenly the jukebox starts blaring &#8220;Don&#8217;t Stop Me Now&#8221; by Queen. It&#8217;s a funny scene so if you haven&#8217;t seen the movie do yourself a big zombie related favor and check out this video.</p>
<p><em>Note: This clip may contain a wee bit of profanity. Also, the audio is terrible, but it&#8217;s youtube. You get what you pay for.</em></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/GQ0gSbcG1FI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/GQ0gSbcG1FI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think that I was also inspired by a fun game on a website that I frequent. I like to call it the zombie 4 but in truth the practice has no official name.</p>
<p>Basically, someone starts a thread setting up the following hypothetical situation: It&#8217;s the zombie apocalypse. You are the last human left on earth and you decide to go out in style, taking as many undead as you can with you. Pick the circumstances of you final stand.</p>
<p>Location</p>
<p>Time</p>
<p>Weapon</p>
<p>Song</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a fun game. If it&#8217;s true that you can get to know someone by shaking their hand, I imagine this would be the dialogue equivalent of exploratory surgery.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Mucha sorpresa me ha causado la noticia de que Warner Bros. está planeando ya el remake de la cinta ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Mucha sorpresa me ha causado la noticia de que Warner Bros. está planeando ya el remake de la cinta clásica estelarizada por Judy Garland &#8220;El mago de Oz&#8221;, en la que se cuenta la historia de Dorothy (o Dorita como le llamaban en español a la caricatura) que, junto con sus amigos el león, el hombre de hojalata y el espantapájaros, tenía que encontrar al dichoso mago para poder regresar a casa sana y salva.</p>
<p>La sorpresa en sí no es que alguien tome el riesgo de rehacer la película, sino quién será el encargado de dirigirla. Hablo nada más y nada menos que de Todd McFarlane, que si el nombre no les suena, no se preocupen, Oz sería su ópera prima. Para mayores referencias, les puedo decir que él es artista gráfico y su obra cumbre es un cómic llamado &#8220;Spawn&#8221;, del que también hay película e incluso ya se prepara la segunda parte. Además, dirigió un video de Pearl Jam llamado &#8220;Do the evolution&#8221;, que a mi juicio y de muchos críticos, es uno de los 10 mejores videos musicales en la historia.</p>
<p>McFarlane quiere darle a Oz un toque burtoniano gótico, y entre otras curiosidades, ubicará la historia en la época actual&#8230; ¿cómo? No tengo idea, pero no puedo esperar a ver qué locura le queda en pantalla. Si le sale bien, no dudaría que fuera el heredero del legado cinematográfico que ya construye Frank Miller.</p>
<p>La protagonista será la dos veces ganadora del Critic&#8217;s choice award, Dakota Fanning y el estreno está planeado para los primeros meses del 2011.</p>
<p>¿Qué actores les gustaría ver para el hombre de hojalata, el león y el espantapájaros? Yo digo que para este último sería fenomenal ver a Jeff Goldblum, que no se le hizo tener el papel en Batman, pues al menos verlo aquí.</p>
