I write and produce commercials for adult swim. Sometimes they are songs. Sometimes amazing people work on them and make them better than I could have imagined. Most of the time I just work myself into a badger-like panic about them until they are done airing. This is one of those times.
Go go eighth grade chorus know-how!
Mastodon - “Deathbound” BTS // Castle Explosion
Behind the scenes shaky iPhone footage from Mastodon’s “Deathbound” music video, lovingly made by Authority Films and Adult Swim. Shane’s saucesome castle explodes and Raymond’s puppet narrowly escapes certain death. I still haven’t learned how to hold my phone steady during explosions, so that’s fun.
It was between this video and La Bouche “Be My Lover” for yesterday’s Song of the Day. When Vassy and I realized that Melanie Thornton died in a plane crash in 2001, it kind of halted me from wanting to type snarkbits about her early 90s ten person warehouse parties.
Instead, I’mma going with Cults. My Google Buzz crush Daniel Garcia directed the video along with another video you might’ve heard of. No? Never seen that one? Ok.
Extend the balloon-popping boners by d/ling some tracks backed by the company that employs me here. This jam is helping me through many trials and errors with spreadsheets and an arcane program I hope I never have to think about after four more weeks!
