Much better than that recent Michel Gondry Rubiks cube video.

Rarely does a piece of Youtubery come along that runs through so many of our blog categories like this video from Lemon Demon. The title of the song is "Word Disassociation" and we can't pin it down with just a single category tag. On our blog, this gem qualifies for Audio Goodness, Music, Web Goodness, and Words. Plus I'll give it Dogs for the one shot with a-Benji-ish mutt paired with the word "jellyfish" (though there are more cats than canines in this music video's mis-en-scene) as well as Advertising since the word "advertisement" made it into the song. So that leaves only Food and Drink, Luck, and Recent Work unchecked. Oh well. You can't win 'em all.

For what's it's worth, that sped-up piano and that dry and wry vocal style bring They Might Be Giants to mind. But more than anything, this song's Dada lyricism reminds me of the almighty Wire and their stream-of-consciousness, pop masterpiece Kidney Bingos:

Here's a slide show of our digs. Big thanks to our buddy Jason Masters for taking such pretty pictures.

So the ceremony for Oklahoma City ADDY awards opened this year with this amazing video put together by Third Degree Communications, Digital DK, Simon Hurst Photography, and us. We love the way this piece works. The flickering text and the geek/chic office photographs, the retro/industrial footage, the lighting and exposure effects. . . it's all super cool. Also we love the job Parker Loy did reading the copy. And we are pretty sure Parker liked the spot as well. Although he did ask for his Mom's permission "to say 'damn' three times." It was also fun working with the Tenki track "Kiss of Millions" off their 2004 release View of an Orbiting Man. And in case you were wondering. . . yes. . . we sprinkled a little bit of Lucky Dog magic audio powder at the top of the song to help get the video rolling. Cheers.

03-05-08 Update Question: can an ADDY trailer win an ADDY? The answer: yes! Well. . . kinda. This kick azz trailer for the 2007 Oklahoma City Advertising Club's ADDY awards ceremony won a Judges Citation of Merit in the 2008 Oklahoma City Advertising Club's ADDY awards ceremony. Which is kind of like an ADDY, isn't it? Also, for the record (and for all you search engines out there), we've been calling this spot So Damn Cool. The official title is "Think it Up - 2007 Addy Awards."

So this Coke ad was my favorite. But I've been on an animation kick lately. Also, the sound design is superb.

I'm still waiting to hear from Scott on his favorite. Of course, neither one of us watched much of the game. BTW, it seems that we share some embarrassing sports memories.

Now that's quite an endearment, "Gosh, honey, I was thinking about you today. You are such a mindsticker."

Thanks to Patrick for finding this one.
