DTW’s Psychedelic Tunnel! from Emma Brown on Vimeo.
I finally got a decent video of DTW’s Psychedelic Tunnel! This thing is legend among the Trithart family. I know that it makes no sense, and that it really shouldn’t exist, but it does and it’s AMAZING. Next time you fly through detroit, make sure you make the pilgrimage between Concourse B and A. It’s worth it, i promise.
all of you media artists out there. If not, you’ll know what it is when you read about on Wikipedia here.
Anyways, I somehow stumbled upon a video clip of Ken Burns himself, speaking about the Ken Burns Effect. It is very interesting, and even funny. Enjoy!
I meant to post this awhile ago, like… right after Thanksgiving. But it’s still after Thanksgiving so I think it still counts.
While battling my way to the front lines at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade the only thing that should run through a Star Wars nerd’s head was running though mine.

Lindsey and I went to the third night of this year’s Blip Festival in Brooklyn on Saturday night! If you don’t know what that is (I somehow didn’t), Blip Fest is “a four-day event showcasing nearly 40 musicians and visual artists occupying the international low-res cutting edge.” All of the artist make music in the “chipmusic” realm which is basically kids who grew up with Nintendo/Sega/Playstations and now make music using the hardware of their old ‘toys.’ They don’t just play games, record the sounds and remix them – they actually hack these systems and program/short-circuit them to make all sorts of bad-ass songs. All of this is accompanied by incredible live visuals projected behind the artist. Thick bass, sharp blips and bloops, decently prices booze, a few ravers and a ton of nerds made this a really enjoyable show.
Sulumi, the guy in the video, is from China and is apparently a big thing. I hadn’t heard of him until we saw him there but now I’m hooked! I bought the only album he has on iTunes but according to his Myspace page he’ll have a new album out soon. Also on the list of awesome artists I didn’t know about before: Bubblyfish (also awesome), Cow’p (okay, kind of a lot of the same thing), Nullsleep (looks like Scott Bowman, crazy intense music), and STU. STU (or Stu?) is from Sweden and is a total badass. He’s super chill, a little nerdy, pretty tall, very Swedish and has fantastic beats, unfortunately I’ve had a hard time finding anything about him online. Though we met two European (maybe French?) people outside the place who loved Stu. I thought the woman was going to flash us but she was just drunk and trying to show us her Stu t-shirt.
(I’ll be posting pictures soon!)
I don’t know if any of you guys have heard this girl’s stuff, but I have become kind of obsessed. Her name is Lady Gaga and she is 22! (A baby!) Anyways, I saw this video on stylsightings a few days ago and clicked on if for a whim, and now I’m hooked. This song is kind of dance-y and fun (so joel will like it), but she’s a great solo, powerful girl singer (which Katie will like) and plus she’s ADORABLE (so Emma will definitely like her). So I thought I would post her here and see what you all think.
