I have a pet lizard, he doesn't do much except eat flies. I'm training him to walk backwards but he stops after a few inches. He's green with a yellow stripe down his side, he kinda looks like a racecar but he's really lazy. He once fell of the couch because he was to lazy to grab on to the damn couch, wtf is up with that eh?

Extra Life fo life!

Just read the New Yorker piece on Don Carlo Gesualdo, then listened to his "Moro, lasso, al mio duolo" on youtube, then came to this...

Very weird and creepy... Buuuuuuttttttttttt I like it. The crazy voice is amazing.

[twinsisterkoneko]

Wow, I have no words for this. It's weird, like life is. But filled with delicate yet intricate sounds that twirl like serpentine ladders trying to find a nearby exit. And the voice! Good Heavens! Most people might find it odd, but I think it's filled with darkened beauty.

Weird but genious

@warnmoses Ah... Well, that would definitely fit with the final scene. Maybe they could wear ones like this: /watch?v=OQtK33C-KrQ [3 minutes in].

And at the end, for the last line ('Mama's little mixed-up...'), it cuts back to the band, and, on the final chord strum ('...man'), their bathrobes just fall off, leaving them nakeder than they were on the day they was born!

Get Charlie Looker on the blower Mr. warnmoses, I think we're onto something...

[warnmoses]

@Jason011987 Yeah, looking back on this I wish they were dressed in bathrobes instead.

[Jason011987]

Fucking good, low-budget, original art. A couple of things made me laugh (I hope they were meant to), but I was not disengaged. Though, I was reminded of the work of Merriman Weir (/watch?v=ciSworw9JPM).

Maybe I'm just a fuddy-duddy (or not enough of one), and I know Mr. Looker is partial to Gregorian chant, but dressing the band in hooded cloaks seemed a bit much. I feel Peking dropped the ball on that.

There's been a healthy mix of opinion so far in the comments. The anti-fans are important.

flippant et frappé. Excellent!

Youtube said I would like a Katy Perry interview because I like this, what the fuck.

[cleverlyhills]

hmm. I like Extra Life. A lot. I also like Youth Of Today and am straight edge. Fancy that..
