Music Video: Lilly Allen - The Fear

I wanna be rich, and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuck loads of diamonds
I heard people die while they're trying to find them
And I'll take my clothes off, and it will be shameless
'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at the sun, and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah I'm on to a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Life's about film stars and less about mothers
It's all about fast cars and cussing each other
But it doesn't matter 'cause I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fucking fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it's not my fault, it's how I'm programed to function
I'll look at the sun, and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah we're on to a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Forget about guns and forget ammunition
'Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint, but I'm not a sinner
And everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Video: Thru You!

Did you all see this posting Andrew made?! This is the rad-est thing I've seen on the interwebs in ... well, at least 3 days!

It makes all those amateur musicians posting their stuff really relevant! This is exactly what was meant to be done with youtube!

http://thru-you.com/

An Israeli producer went and found hundreds of random,
unrelated YouTube clips of people playing instruments --
eager amateurs, instructional and performance videos --
and spliced and mixed them together into some amazing shit.

Just remember: everything you're seeing, you're HEARING.

My faves:

#1 (Fatboy Slim-ish Funk)
#4 (Sick drum-n-bass)
#6 (Vocoder crunk)

... and the 1:20 moment in #5 is just poignantly beautiful.

Anton Chekhov Phrase

I really like this line that Anton Chekhov wrote to the woman he ended up spending the rest of his life with: 'Hello, the last page of my life.'

App for Iphone : Font Finder

Ever wonder what font is being used in the real world? With this easy to use iphone app, you can find out pronto!

The process is really easy-snap a photo, crop it down to the area where text is the clearest, then help the app's text recognition divine which letters are which, and presto, your identification comes back with a list of choices. The app nailed each font I tried with black text on a plain white background, but it has a little trouble when different colored backgrounds enter into play (like when I tried to identify the font for the Gizmodo logo on our page).
