Here’s another dose of Italy’s Starframes with “Broody Solider,” whose message seems to be that war is bad and stuff.
The video appears to have been done by somebody who watched Tapeheads.

Shoegazer Sunday: Starframe’s “Broody Soldier”
Sunday, October 6th, 2013Guillermo Del Toro Simpsons‘ Couch Gag is Awesome
Saturday, October 5th, 2013This came out two days ago, and already has over 6 million hits, but I still thought Guillermo Del Toro opening couch gag for The Simpsons forthcoming “Treehouse of Horror” episode was too awesome (and too full of SF/F/H references) not to share.

Halloween Scares: Uninvited Guests
Friday, October 4th, 2013Hey, remember the spider-man of Denver?
In 2008 in Japan, a man found that a homeless woman had been living in his home for almost a year.
Given she was Japanese, I assume she was a very polite, quiet creepy visitor living in his home.
Hey, how much crawlspace do you think there is in your home?
And now, a completely unrelated image:
Eerie, Lonely Photographs
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013The Halloween season is upon us, so let’s start out with the eerie, lonely photographs of Michel Rajkovic.
His specialty seems to be long exposure black and white photographs of man-made structures over water, producing images of eerie beauty.
Here’s an example:
When You’ve lost Earl Campbell…
Tuesday, October 1st, 2013Legendary running back Earl Campbell says that it’s time for Mack Brown to step down.
“Nobody likes to get fired or leave a job, but things happen,” Campbell said. “I’d go on record and say ‘yes I think it’s time….[it’s] very hard because Coach Brown is a very good man,” Campbell said. “I just hope he doesn’t stay…he’s done some great things. The program, he brought it back, and we don’t need it to get run down where somebody has to start all over again.”
So how many years of grace does winning a National Championship give you? At Auburn, they fired Gene Chizik two years after winning a national championship (which also happened to be their first). That seems more than a little injudicious. Tennessee gave Phil Fulmer ten years after winning a National Championship. (And neither’s successor has set the world on fire.)
I was not among those calling Mack brown to resign when the team went 5-7 in 2010. Knee-jerk reactions to transient adversity are seldom warranted. But Brown has had several years to right the ship of one of the most institutionally powerful teams in Division 1 football, and has not managed to do so. Ultimately, Alamo and Holiday bowl wins are not enough for a man getting paid $5 million a year.
Maybe it’s time for a change.
