Fun with Coilhouse

I first heard of this magazene from the ever-intriguing

xevv, but hadn't, until tonight, really gotten a chance to look through it. I think I shall be looking at it more frequently. /:-)  How can I have not heard of this before...?  Welcome to Indiana, kiddies. :-|

Something for those who like their gents pretty, and pretty odd. ;-) 

A letter to the inimitable Klaus Nomi.

Beauty in discomfort. :-P

No pulpit for you!

So... what made you weird?

Whoosh!

Post-apocalyptic fun!

Oooh, they sound rather nifty. /:-)

I want one!

Trippy... o_0

 

One Last Thing from Coilhouse...

Animated Stevie Wonderfied Chiptune Folk Song FTW

The oldest known folk song of Japan is called Kokiriko-Bushi. Villagers in secluded Gokayama used to perform it in honor of local Shinto deities.

A wonderfully daft electro-pop wizard who goes by Omodaka came up with the idea to revamp the song with chiptune vocals and Stevie Wonder-isms. He then handed the track over to the equally wonderfully daft animator Teppei Makki, who made the following video. It features a breakdancing marionette skeleton cutting a rug with a dexterous disembodied hand and assorted Residents reminiscent eyeball-headed women at the cosmic discotheque. Enjoy:

I love eet!!!!!!!!!!!!... But why do I suddenly feel the urge to play Super Mario Bros? 0_o

This would be a more traditional rendition of the song, btw...

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Please don't get sidetracked by the pursuit of minor dreams that would give you trivial satisfaction. And please talk yourself out of going after ephemeral rewards that would at best provide you with a false sense of accomplishment. Here's why this advice is even more important than usual: You have an intense but limited amount of driving ambition available to you at the moment, so you've got to make sure you use it on a project or projects that will still be meaningful to you a year from now.

Well, onward with the art and the Japanese, then. I do need to focus more, now that the flash cards are finished...
