video games

i know lana del rey is old news. she's been hyped-up and she's been ripped down. but her album (finally!) dropped on tuesday and say what you will about her big lips or her shaky snl performance... her music is pretty amazing. it's haunting, sexy and catchy and that's not a combination you find everyday, folks.

when her video for the single "video games" was leaked last fall i must have watched it 20-plus times. i'd given it a rest up until this week when i got to listen to the rest of the "born to die" album. there are some major songs ("radio" is a favorite) and after listening to them all on repeat, i just had to return once again to the "video games" video.

the nostalgia of these retro clips, combined with her undeniable beauty and that smoky voice is just bewitching.

symphony of science

now, i'm just as geeky as the next girl, but my personal breed of nerdiness is certainly not of the scientific sort. in fact, i think it might just be my scientific ignorance that makes me so very into this video.

maybe it's my lack of knowledge plus a little bit of love for "the remix," but whatever it is, i think you'll agree--this video is pretty awesome.



these ideas were pretty revolutionary in their time, and today people are still discovering things that prove just how insane this universe we live in is.

thanks, scientists, for figuring it out for the rest of us!

i'm kind of breaking my own rules of having an aesthetics-only-focused blog, but whatever, i make the rules, i break the rules. plus. this is beautiful.

and i'm not even a hipster.

embody

i spied this video on someone's facebook last week and got a real kick out of it. i just love this kid. i like to imagine there's a little bit of him inside of me, constantly groovin'. and i really wish he would pop into my office right now and teach me how to dance like that.
