I enjoyed the opening cinematic to The Beatles Rock Band game more than all of Across the Universe. Watch it in glorious full resoloution here. It’s by Passion Pictures, who is also responsible for the bulk of the Gorillaz animation.
This game couldn’t go wrong, but Harmonix is doing it right anyway.
kortina’s bit: OK, drop what you’re doing right now, click the pic, and lose yourself in this vid. Beatles ftw!

kortina’s bit: zoom out and you can see creation
“It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.”
Henry David Thoreau (via affremblequotes)
kortina’s bit: woah.
YouTube video mashup - Kutiman composed songs/album/artwork/masterpiece—something amazing. This set of 8 songs uses video / audio tracks from people recording basement lessons and dorm room performances as instruments in a postmodern orchestra. The video draws attention to each layer of audio and often jumps, cuts, and shocks. I was transfixed all morning watching and listening.

This is exactly why YouTube is my favorite website.
“I know what I want to do with my life … I want to sleep with many people— I want to live and hate to die—I will not teach, or get a master’s … I don’t intend to let my intellect dominate me, and the last thing I want to do is worship knowledge or people who have knowledge! … I intend to do everything … I shall anticipate pleasure everywhere and find it, too, for it is everywhere! I shall involve myself wholly … everything matters! … I am alive … I am beautiful … what else is there?”
