Indie Music is Weird

I'm a dude with a pretty high weird quotient, but I don't know, maybe I'm getting old or something.

Summary: So the sack dude gets a pencil and starts drawing some shiz on trees. Then the shiz gets a little nuts and he gets chased by some dudes. Then I guess it turns out his friend was dead or something, so he writes a eulogy in scribble-nonsense and the dudes take a ride in a man-mobile under some fireworks set off by the dead friend. Then sack-man goes to sleep.

...I guess.

Arcade Fire Blows Minds

Oh? Your mind hasn't been blown today by the internet? Coming to hhour for your fix? How about some tunes, brilliance, and nostalgia?

You must have Google Chrome browser to run the page, and it's pretty computer intensive, so probably no phone browsers for this one.

Finally your photoshop skills for something USEFUL! Check out the Gizmodo link for the whole scoop, or use your eyes for the quickie. Basically, covering over the clothes in a picture with shapes can give you the nudity you've been looking for. And best of all, a Mormon kid figured it out (apparently?).

A legend born: A young Mormon, forbidden from looking at porn, discovers a way to Photoshop safe-for-work bikini shots in such a way to let his mind fill in the blanks. It's not porn if it's in your brain.
