Unicorns (remixed)
Watch this video damn it.
So i have been reading The Mewl for about 9 months now. Sometime back in the past, Sam was mongering lotuses an most likely orchids but dragged himself away from his hording long enough to give us insight into a project he is working on. The project is still in the works and revolves around audio and animation that he is producing..
He posted his audio under creative commons (see links below) so that people like me could fiddle with it or use it in our own projects.. As many people are aware, i like to mess with audio/video stuff as well. Below you will find a collaboration of our two styles.
If you dont like it, cool, if you do.. thats cool too…
feedback would be appreciated either way.

pocketknife
i bought a Buck knife yesterday. Being a fan of fruit but having a dislike for biting into them directly, i found myself in a bind. i was at work and really wanted an apple. apples and I dont get along so well when i take those initial first couple bites.. so i went out and purchased the above so i could eat fruit with it.. and use it for other things too but they are unimportant right now..
the point is that i can now eat apples whenever i want.
the difficulties i have are that when i bite into an apple i generally get a small piece of apple skin between my teeth. this works like a miniature razor blade that rubs and rubs at my gums.. i pick at it and can generally get the front half out but the back half of the piece becomes hidden and pesters me till i can floss… i would rather not eat an apple than take that initial bite…
now it is a non-issue, AND eating apples with a knife is very very very pleasant.
thats it.. thought written down. APPLES!
Other | Comment (1)…no longer special…
Special features are no longer special features. When will all the DVD manufacturers and Hollywood exectypes get it into their heads? These things were once special.. but no more! Remember those really big DVDs back in the 80’s?.. Some of us remember they had names like Laserdisc’s. To quote Mark from SLC Punk “This looks like a silver record,but it’s not a silver record.”. Point is, guess what, they had special features too.
From my crap filled perspective, to be termed special you need to provide something that is above and beyond what was expeced by the consumer. At this point, additional DVD content is demanded by the public. To produce a DVD that does not have content besides the main film is to disappoint the home audience and possibly lose sales. So hey.. Quit calling them special already eh? Instead, only do it when you have something truely wonderful..
Calling them special at this point is like still calling ADD and ADHD a “disorder”. When enough of a given population exhibits the described characteristics, they become part of the norm. Where ADD/ADHD may never reach the point where the “Disorder” label is removed (we are already at that point, open your eyes) “Special Features” have reached that point where we should have en evolution in thought and reevaluate what is truley exceptional enough to brand it as such.
While I am ranting about obvious things, let me thow this out there. Movie trailers are not special. They are advertisements wasting precious bitrate space that could be used for higher quality films reproduction. Here is a thought, make the film have a higher quality production and hopefully that can make up for the lack of decent plot ideas we have been subjected to in the last 10 years.. If i have to hear about one more remake of an excellent foreign film, an old tv show, video game.. graphic novel…………… time told classic…… please.. no more little woman remakes etc.. we have had enough…
thanks and good day.
Sometimes you’re better off dead
There’s a gun in your hand and it’s pointing at your head
You think you’re mad too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police
There’s a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town
