Man, this video takes me back to those lazy summer days of yesteryear. My ethnically-diverse friends and I would spend entire afternoons creating elaborate works of chalk art. Then we would lie on top of those chalk drawings and wave to the man videotaping us.
I wonder what the old gang is up to these days…
“I grew up in a small town. A racist town.”
I’m not usually a big fan of mullet jokes or “Rock You Like a Hurricane” jokes (unless they’re subtle), but there’s just something about this one… like, the idea of how awkward it would be to be stranded in that kitchen watching someone film this for twenty seconds in silence.
P.S. Searching for “radical” will only result in you seeing pics of a lot of gross surgery.
I’ve never seen any videos that manage to convey simultaneous feelings of amusement and discomfort quite the way that these do. This woman is my new hero.

Atlanta musician Hart Deer aims to systematically destroy the record industry and I guess these completely batshit insane videos are the first step in that process. While watching these videos, keep in my mind these Hart Deer quotes:
Hart on where he is and where he’s going: My music has been classified as art rock, progressive rock, or even classic rock; but my goal is to create stylistically unique revolutionary music. I currently exist within the confines of the Atlanta music scene, but the envisioned scope of my artistic reformation is national, perhaps even global.
Hart on the goal of his music: The purpose of my music is to make clear these ideals, and unlock the inner doors and boundaries upon us so that together we may overcome the quiet despair of modernity, and rise to a glorious new world that justifies the experience of living.
And in an interview on his “label’s” website, Hart rambles for hours about how his label is rolling out the red carpet for their artists (which include Hart and some guy who plays drums). This is probably the highlight:
Hart: Because not only is [some guy that is “signed” to my “record label”] free to work elsewhere–we’re not sticking him with option clauses–but also we give him total creative ownership over all the songs on which he contributed.
College radio host: What? That’s ridiculous.
Hart: Some people say it’s ridiculous for us to do that. Ridiculous like a fox.
Brittany’s so crazy, she makes Tom Cruise look normal! SNAP!
The mind of a bearded man:
Beards don’t work for most people, but it’ll probably work for me. Yeah, people will think I’m all serious and shit.
