Well, I'd watch this twice. Sounds like Chuck Klosterman doing the interviewing.

On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event 'a marvel of pure craft" and TIME magazine lamenting "we may never dance again.' SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.

Youtube user MrSolidSnake745 makes pretty awesome floppy disc music. Here's Daft Punk's Derezzed, which I think is his newest.

This old school skate video from 1984, featuring Rodney Mullen, is so bad ass. I love it.

Incidentally, 1984 was an awesome year in pop culture and here are some folks talking about it:

Bill Simmons.

Rex Sorgatz.

Tim Carmody.

Jason Kottke.

Me.

I always like the videos where the skateboard is used for more than just skating on.

Today is Bo Jackson's 49th birthday, so I thought I'd watch a Bo Jackson video and then I watched about 10. The first video shocked me because I'm never ready for how big he is or how fast. And he was both.

Here are some videos and articles including football Bo, baseball Bo, Letterman Bo, Sesame St Bo, ect. The articles are interspersed with the videos. Make sure to watch the Tecmo Bo.

I've been posting a lot of surfing videos lately, considering I don't like going in the ocean. But this is cool. The crazies at Rip Curl and Time Slice Films built an array of 52 DSLR cameras on a scaffolding in a wave pool in Malaysia.



And then when they wanted more, they built a rig of 30 Go Pro cameras so that someone could hold it on the back of a jet ski.

I posted the trailer for Art of Flight on Kottke back in August. Thought the making of bloopers were worth watching, too.

This is remarkable just for the narration. Give this guy a contract. Watch this if you like good stuff. He sounds like Christopher Walken from time to time.

I don't know what this video is from, but Ian MacKaye is not impressed with your interview questions.
