I Wish He was My Boyfriend

I love this song.

This video is so cool too. I can’t really put my finger on why it is so great, but it definitely has a 90s vibe to it (which, obviously I’m attracted to).

Maybe that feeling combined with Best Coast’s 60s jangly rock and the “real people” playing the characters in the story… the girl’s braces is probably the best part because you know 15-yr-olds with braces never smile unless something really wonderful is happening.

I don’t know, but it’s pretty awesome.

The Girl Effect

I happen to have a girl of my own. I hope someday she knows how blessed she is so that those blessings overflow from her and onto those who need it most.

75 percent of 15- to 24-year-olds living with HIV in Africa are female.

Interstate Love Song

Apparently I haven’t had time for blogging this week.

So here’s a classic to tide you over.

I still think rotoscoping is cool. I mean…. I like the 90s, what can I say?

Odorifous: Chris Harding

I only had to see this Coldplay video one time and I had to find out who made it.

Turns out it’s a group of college buddies who stuck together all these years later as the collective Shynola—a name which not only comes from one of my all-time favorite movies, but has also produced videos for some of my all-time favorite artists, like Beck and Radiohead and of course everyone’s favorite Coldplay…

I get so excited whenever I see artwork that is something like I would do. When I saw the work of these guys, I wanted to go out and make videos again.

I suppose that’s called “inspiring.”
