Guest director J. Christopher Arrison tries to make pajamas flattering.
Director’s Note: Dance for the Cure “The past twenty-four hours have been the proverbial emotional roller-coaster. We have been AMAZED by the response to Dana’s video blog (I refuse the term vlog). Thanks a million, everyone. It’s a terrifying time; sometimes we break down in tears, sometimes we put on our favorite music to oh so briefly forget. This is my thanks to all of you who have reached out.”
If you have a brain condition, staying active can help (depending on the condition. I am a writer-performer-comedian and freestyle dance enthusiast, not a doctor). Prior to my unfortunate brain news diagnosis, I spent a month recovering from a bulging lower back disk and ensuing sciatica and had trouble dancing from all that damn pain. With the help of my chiropractor, Tough Love Yoga Atlanta (hell yes metal yoga http://toughloveyoga.com), countless ice packs, a cardboard-based standing desk, and Game of Thrones from the “comfort” of my floor, I am dancin’ again.
This song has meaning to me due to what I’m undergoing with 1000mg/day of Keppra (aka Leviathan for those of you following the show). My language seizures have calmed down, but I am having many sleepless nights, can’t eat, and feel more methed out than Jesse Pinkman. It’s a Catch 22. The comedowns are difficult. Reading forum posts and watching videos of those of you who are taking keppra for epilepsy or other seizure disorders has helped me. Hopefully this post and show will help those of you searching in the dark like me. Stay strong, and keep dancing. We’ll weather the storm together.
HEAVY ROTATION: “Someone Great” - LCD Soundsystem
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.
Question: Where can I find boner boxers, a rat-infested Ice Queen costume, a giant limp penis microphone, Diplo in handcuffs, and rotating Mr. Potatohead rocks?
Answer: This. video.
Yeah, it’s a couple of weeks old, but it’s still worthy of getting your Monday all moist. Finally, someone put subtitles under these guys! Well, at least part of it. Is anyone else watching this and wondering what happened to Today’s Special? No? Flexxie’s all confused…and all listening to too much Die Antwoord lately.
Current favorite lyric: even though you’re lying down, I can make you STAND UP! Git it, Yo-Landi!
FYI: Wanga’s “Don’t Touch My Penis / I’m Not a Gay” can be easily interpreted as homo-phobic…but it’s actually circumcision-phobic. Check the link, y’all.
On Mondays, I like to post NSFW videos (when I remember). Still riding the Die Antwoord train this week.
Low - “Breaker” music video.
One take. One cake.
Cody is teh best for showing me this vid—I had this song on repeat, and he checked in my office to make sure I wasn’t re-enacting the end of The Road.
Only six lines in this song:
Our bodies break And the blood just spills and spills But here we sit debating that It’s just a shame My hand just kills and kills There’s gotta be an end to that
