Amazing Animation: Oscar winning "Logorama"

This is a great animated short that won the Oscar this year from Marc Altshuler.  It features just about every corporate logo you can imagine and features a rather psychotic Ronald McDonald.  Funny shit & definitely NSFW.  Enjoy the clip after the jump. (that means click "Read more")

Blu: "COMBO" A Collaborative Animation

Blu is an Italian street graffiti artist.  I first came across his work via a clip at World of Wonder earlier this month entitled "Muto".  It was amazing!  Well, he's done it again this time teaming up with painter/film maker David Ellis for the collaborative effort titled "Combo" a time lapse animation masterpiece clocking in at just over 8min.  Enjoy & pass it on!  Link to Blu's site here and David Ellis here.

Revenge of the Smooth Jazz hater....

Here is a very funny animated video called "Distraxion".  It's the stuff of my Kenny G nightmares but in works out in the end....good stuff!  I know a few people who put on the smooth jazz station and it's just unbearable!  It's like being stuck at the dentists office for hours....why people, why!??

Classic "Rock" song of the day: Cat Stevens "Moonshadow"

One of my all time favorites. Period.  This song always has and always will hold a very special place in my heart.  It reminds me of the good times growing up in the 70's.  Cat Stevens "Moonshadow" from the wonderful 1971 album Teaser and the Firecat.  The album reached #2 on the Billboard charts and as of 2001 has reached Triple Platinum status and the song reached #10...it will always be a #1 to me!

  It is also the title of a children's book written and illustrated by Cat Stevens. The story features the title characters from the album cover, top-hatted young Teaser and his pet Firecat, who attempt to put the moon back in its place after it falls from the sky. Published in 1972, the book has been out of print since the mid-1970s.


In 1977 an animated version, narrated by Spike Milligan and using the song "Moonshadow", was a segment in Fantastic Animation Festival.  I would imagine it's pretty rare and few have seen...so here you go, enjoy!
