Just wanted out to point out that the Vimeo app for Boxee is fantastic.

It’s My Life — The Animals

How these guys weren’t more famous is beyond me.

Seconded. Eric Burden had a voice that cuts me right through, and a confrontational attitude that would have made him a star in ‘77.

””…let….me…die…”

Record Club: Velvet Underground & Nico “Heroin” (Alt. Version) (via Beck on Vimeo)

One of the highlights of Beck’s Record Club experiment, and a huge improvement on the first version they posted. There are a few others worth checking out as well…fun project.

Oh, and it inspired me to play the original album at full volume for about the millionth time, so no complaints there.

“Perya” - a Canon 7D Short (via Vimeo)

Canon’s 5D MkII was certainly drool-worthy enough, what with its full-frame sensor and 1080p video…but at least I knew that it was comfortably out of my price range at around $3k. The recently-announced 7D, however, will be coming in around $1700 (body only) and is shooting 1080p at 24p on an image sensor bigger than comparable video cameras. Oh yeah, and there’s no “DOF-adapter” necessary, since I could use my existing Canon EF lenses. This is an incredible leap forward.

Only downside, and this is more from the still photo side, is that the 7D utilizes an APS-C sized sensor, same as my 40D and prior 350D. Thus, all of my Canon EF lenses have a crop factor of 1.6 that effectively zooms them in…which would set me back a bit more in my quest to expand on the wide-angle end. The financial tradeoff is worth it, though (most of the difference between the $1700 and $3000 price points is in sensor construction).

WANT.

Human Sexual Response-Cool Jerk (via workjobb)

I just can’t resist, even after posting the mp3 album version yesterday. This video is just too incredible to pass up.

Passion Pit - The Reeling (via Vimeo)

Another incredible music video, this from Cambridge’s Passion Pit and the visual artists at Humble.tv and Phantom Color.
