Ritornello (2003, 700k, 25 sec.)
There are just points in which a person has to admit the panic moment.
The point in which the suspersonic tidal wave is headed at you as you
stand on Rockaway,
and you have simultaneous feelings of doubt or denial.
The moment comes, looping in on itself until the moment of action arrives.
Time to hang ten.

Three lovely short remixes from Athens, Georgia
artist Brantley Jones.
Commercial Spots (2006, 8.4MB)
Archive sutff from the Sporkworld stable, this time from Millie Niss & it has
all the hallmarks that make Sporkworld work such an unalloyed pleasure.
Manifestly bullshit free, apparently straightforward but with onion like layers,
this one wonderfully highlights Niss
Dennis Knopf – Bootyclipse (2007, 18.8MB, 5:38)
Found footage mashups aren’t really anything new, but
Dennis Knopf made this one from YouTube booty dancing
clips, and it makes me laugh every time I watch it.
Mike Mills – Hair Shoes Love and Honesty (2004, 13.8MB, 2:57)
From the inimitable Mike Mills.
Gary Brolsma – Numa Numa (2004, 3.7MB, 1:39)
Is this where I make the case that this was among
the first viral videos on the internets? Maybe, but
I’d rather just post this charming clip from the
erstwhile Staples employee from New Jersey,
dancing to Romanian pop in his bedroom.
Kelly Mark – Crosswalk (2001, 1.2MB, 0:38)
Basketball court sprints at a busy intersection. Man unknown.
From Kelly Mark.
Thunderant – The Perfect Song (2008, 21.6MB, 3:42)
Clever piece from Thunderant, which is primarily Carrie
Brownstein and Fred Armisen.
Hilarious and sometimes very odd, I’m so into this duo,
if only because I love what they’re doing in theory.
More folks should get together and make comedic
goodness in their free time.
Or sing weird answering machine songs. Whatever.
A holiday wish – Carl Weaver (2005, 2.3MB, 0:43)
Carl Weaver is a renaissance man – photographer,
writer, doer of many things. He also has a dry humor
and delivery most of us would kill for. In 2005, he
called to wish his friend Dwayne a merry Christmas.
We similarly extend holiday greetings and well wishes
to you, from everyone here at DVblog.
