I love wierd stuff

I'm gonna yap for a bit.

ok so I'm a huge fan of finding weird videos on Youtube, wierd music on bandcamp and such right?
Its really fun I recommend it (as long as you dont fall down one of... those rabbit holes)

What got me into it was those "internet checkpoints" videos, the ones with comments completely unrelated to the video because the algorithm was pushing it out to EVERYONE while just being like a song from an old game with some wierd image on it.
I got one of those up on my feed one day and deciced to watch it, it was nice enough so I looked at the recomended videos and one stood out to me.
PAPERS by
よしながき
Now I cant read what that means (I think its Yoshinao Satoh? its a name that keeps cropping up on that youtube channel). Its two minutes long and its sort of stop motion made of a bunch of similar images in news papers.
Weather reports, mooncycles, faces, floorplans, texts, puzzles and other images flashing faster than you can comprehend individually.
I thought it was beutifull, I havent been able to find more info on that channel aside from similar videos that probably the better part of an evening just playing on loop on my monitor (while I was sewing but still).
My favourite of these is either PAPERS or POWER, PAPERS because the way it shows time passing is just beutifull and POWER because... its just wierd. I can hardly describe most of what happens in it because its just... odd. Feels like a fever dream I recomend it.

Another video thats less cryptic is a random reupload of Himiko Kikuchi - Flying Beagle (1987).
Theres nothing noteworthy of it, aside from the fact that a random citypop/jazz album re upload has 8,8 MILLION VIEWS just cause of the jazz dog.
To be fair I am one of them.
Love Jazz dog.

But back to weird videos. Existential crisis in class/I got sad about cyborgs but a classmate was nice to me is a guilty pleasure of mine. I've watched it like maybe 50 times. I've spent waayyyy too much time listening to the music.
Its in text just a *really* weird lecture on how the farming industry treats egg laying chickens poorly, but the video is an amalgimation of trippy angles, 2d animation, 3d animations and vfx that make it feel like sitting through a lecture while having a reeeaaaallly bad trip.

It does have a lot of bright colours and harsh patterns though, but if you can handle that
Go watch it.
I've gotten so many vocal stims just from the different ways they describe the chicken-cage hybrid.


I'm gonna start using the blog thingy to just talk about things I like. Give a shout if you also like it.


oh and listen to Placeholder - cave song (duster). I'm not associated with them, I just reaaallyy like their music. Its a shame they only have one song recorded so far.
