STRICTLY GLOBAL

Random quotes heard spilling out of the edit suite just now: "That's not a belly button!" "Wait, no, that's a chick, no dude, no, huh?" "You know that guy who sings 'Walking in Memphis'?" "I want a s'more, like now."  "Did he direct Alien 4?" "I really thought that was a belly button, sorry!" Only at Strictly Global!  What in the world are we talking about?  This Friday's episode of course, full of visionary splendor reaching from 80's chic couture all the way to a Logan's Run-esque future. 

Are you familiar with the awesome sci-fi movie of the 70's Logan's Run? You know, the one according to Ross Gellar (Friends) is the sexiest movie ever?  Well take that concept, sorta, and mesh it with the aesthetic theme of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" video, and you get this beyond insanely awesome video coming from the US's Yeasayer.  Seriously, my money is down for this  being the best video of the year- even though we had to edit the hell out of it. You know, cause nudity galore doesn't fly with public broadcasting.  Boo!  Something even cooler is their website promoting the video.  YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT! (Warning:Nudity, so make sure the boss isn't around.) Even Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric's Awesome Show tweeted about it's gloriousness.  Basically, you are put into the video, in a Being John Malkovich type experience, complete with 360º capability that let's you run with the people, ride the horse, and basically trip your %$&@! off!

Also, premiering this week is our new segment Beat Kitchen!  I mean, have you ever watched a music video that gave you a case of the stomach grumblies?  I know I have!  I think what originally sparked the idea was when I was watching the "Quicksand" video by La Roux.  It made me want a fancy shmancy fruity drink, on the beach, with a crap load of garnishes and one of them rinky-dink drink umbrellas.  Mmm... Anyway!  We are lucky to have an awesome chef on staff, Eugene Abedejos, who'll show us how to make a S'more pizza, inspired by the video from UK's Maximo Park, "Apply Some Pressure."
