DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! REPEAT TO INFINITY!

I’ve said before (on the old blog) that the most creative and entertaining music videos tend to come from dance music. Maybe it’s because dance music is about rhythm and feeling rather than innovation, and a lot of it sounds alike and isn’t driven by the personality of the artist, so you need extra-captivating visuals if yr going to stand out on the MTVs.

Whatever the reason, I hereby present evidence for my case [via Pink Tentacle]: the video for “Fake It!” by Denki Groove (Japan’s answer to Kraftwerk), featuring an endless chain of synchronized high divers.

The black-tape eyemasks are a nice touch.

Seriously, watch it. It’s the best three minutes of television you’ll see this week (unless you live in Japan, in which case you get this kind of TV 24 hours a day).

Off the deep end,

BEST JOHN McCAIN INTERVIEW EVER: TAX CUTS FOR BOMBS!

Well, it’s almost time for the deal to go down, and I’m pretty sure that we all know who we wanted to vote for like eight whole months ago, but just in case the undecideds really are undecided and not just people who don’t want to say who they’re voting for in case they back the wrong horse, here’s something to help you make up yr mind: the Fafblog interview with John McCain.

FB: Well I'm almost sold, John McCain, but Barack Obama says he's gonna make war cool again in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Why shouldn't I vote for him?

MCCAIN: Because I know war, my friends. I've lived with war. Slept with war. Fondled war. Has Barack Obama ever made sweet love to the outer casing of an intercontinental ballistic missile? Or was he too busy teaching kindergartners how to have sex with federal earmarks to show his support for our troops?

And so on.

FUN FACT: Fafblog is also the blog that wrote the greatest argument in favor of Sarah Palin:

As a moose-hunting Jesus-fearing hockey-mom mother of five who hunts moose, Sarah Palin isn't some petty Washington bureaucrat. She's a petty Alaskan bureaucrat, and she's gonna shake things up in Washington! For her first reform she will pose for photographs with a gun and a stuffed moose head! For her second reform she will say something bold and brassy. For her third reform she will give birth at a live press conference to six eagle scouts, three peregrine falcons and an American mastodon, rear them in the Christian faith and release them into the wild before hunting them down, shooting them and mounting their heads in the Roosevelt Room!

DISCLAIMER: If McCain/Palin win because I posted this, I’m sorry. It seemed really funny at the time.

Choose and lose,
