Matarsak: Scarecrow. A Music Video.

March 2nd, 2010 § 0

Matarsak from Miguel Alvarez on Vimeo.

The video above was the fourth place winner in the Farhang Foundation’s 2nd Annual Short Film Festival. The main requirement for the festival was as follows: “The video and the music need to compliment each other in telling a visual story about an aspect of Iranian Heritage such as arts, history, culture, crafts, geography, cuisine or lifestyle.”

Of the top 4 videos, the one above was by far my favorite; It also helped me to discover the paradoxical, modern Persian classical music of Fared Shafinury and Tehranosaurus, which I have been enjoying.

  • Finally conquered mushroom soup (puréed). Key: Simple ingredients (onion, garlic, mushroom) sautéed @ med temp + flour before adding broth. #
  • There has to be groundbreaking, Nobel prize worthy science behind Chili Cheese Flavored Fritos…so incredibly tasty & (not) good (for you). #

Synchronized Classroom Disobedience

Asian Girls Creepy Synchronized Disobedience

Evidently  juvenile disobedience in the classroom can be hilarious…especially when it’s synchronized. These daring Japanese school girls take this classroom prank to the next level  and what’s almost as funny as their synchronized moves are the punishments the teacher assigns to the students (e.g., standing to the side of the classroom on one leg with hands in the air, doing a weird dance, etc.).

Ramen Porn.

One Example

There are modern day explorers–culinary Cousteaus–who roam cities, exploring different cuisines one adventure/restaurant at a time. One such culinary explorer who is eating his way through Tokyo’s ramen shops one shop at a time is Nate at Ramenate. His blog offers a great glimpse into one of Japan’s culinary treasures, ramen, and offers plenty of ramen porn for you to salivate over.

Other such explorers exist in CA as well, such as the Great Taco Hunt blog and others.

’80s Funk: Neoton Familia

February 17th, 2010 § 1

Classic.

Another example of ’80s funk care of Hungarian super band Neoton Familia. Listening to this track will cause you to conjure up images of legwarmers, Jazzercise and strangely dressed people in the 80s dancing to disco/funk. In other words, this track is a winner.

For all the lovers out there and those wanting to be inspired by some love grooves, I present to you my Valentine’s Day 2010 Mix made especially for my Valentine and shared with you (for a limited time). It’s a few miscellaneous love songs sandwiched between acoustic ballads and 80’s Funk with a touch of  freakyness at the end care of Leon Haywood. Enjoy.
