"Back In The Day" by Figurines (Denmark) w/ animation by Brad Mossman

Received this email today:

"Pals,

Over the course of last year, I set forth to make an animated music 
video for the Danish band "FIGURINES",  whom I'm a big fan of.  The 
artwork is based upon the CD cover "Skeleton" which I drew for them.

In November, my friend Aaron Blecha joined me at the Animation 
Workshop in Denmark to animate as I directed.

We finished up and here's a link to it on YouTube:

And the production blog:  http://bitdanim.blogspot.com


There's compression on YouTube so, of course, things don't look and 
sound the best.  If it shows on TV or at a film/animation festival 
near you where it will look better, I'll let you know.

Hope you enjoy and feel free to forward the link to other bipeds.

Thanks!
Brad

Tube - A Short Film

Since Pat Goddard put up an old song of his in the last post (which kicks ass). I decided to torture him with this old film I made. I've been working on getting a decent video encoding set up so I can post more music videos from the collective, and my first attempt to resurrect footage was this.... It features Pat as one of the guys in the waiting room. He's the one in the blue jacket. This was in 1990. I'm piecing together the irony of this thing now... especially since I posted it on YouTube. There's someting about it... considering the subtext. Well whatever. Enjoy (or don't).

Baby - Snoot $ vs. Dr. Diamond (Music Video)

Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube

Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube

Artist:  Yo La Tengo
Album: I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One
Track 3: Sugarcube, YouTube Flash Video 3:59

It's Saturday, so you know that that means!  Yo La Tengo Video Day!  Yaaaaaay!!

Oldie, but a goodie. This video for Sugarcube is HIIIIIGH-larious.  Features the Mr. Show guys in a hilarious plot of the evil label heads sending the band folks to rock school.  Why can't there be more funny music videos?  Why can't they make new Mr. Show episodes?

By the way, YLT have a excellent new album out, "I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass", out on Matador.

Baby - Naked (Video)

Download: Naked by Baby

Artist: Baby
Album: Baby Comes Alive
Track x: Naked - 17.2 MB m4v 3:10

One of the beautiful things about the Interweb these days is all the services that are out there to help you express yourself. It's so easy now to distribute your media and ideas. When we started all this 13 years ago, we never could have imagined how simple this would be. Back then you needed an SGI workstation just to encode an MP2 file. Now publishing is a breeze with blogging, there's the podcast, thank god for ourmedia, and flickr, and YouTube.

Here's the video for Baby's song Naked from the album Baby Comes Alive. Presented to you via podcast, file download, and inline YouTube. This song kicks ass and the video ain't too shabby either if I do say so myself...  Enjoy!
