This Robyn Remix Packs Quite A Punch

January 15th, 2008 // 8 Comments


I quite enjoyed Ocelot’s herky-jerky remix of Robyn’s “Be Mine”–it reminds me of the times when, as a socially awkward second grader, I’d rhythmically plug my ears to make my elementary-school cafeteria’s lunchtime din sound k-razy–but the video, which the Ocelot guys stitched together from footage shot by actionfigure.com, goes from “oh, that’s an interesting slow-mo shot of a bubble” neat to “whoa, I never realized skin could ripple like that after receiving a blow” transfixing at around the 1:48 mark. Uh, did I mention that it’s kind of violent, although in a way that will allow you to completely expect what’s coming and shield your eyes as need be?

    “as a socially awkward second grader, I’d rhythmically plug my ears to make my elementary-school cafeteria’s lunchtime din sound k-razy”

    YOU DID THAT TOO?! I thought I was the only one who didn’t have anyone to talk to at lunch in elementary school.

    @blobby: I actually put that in the post in hopes that other people would admit to this practice!! Hooray!!!

  3. Ned Raggett

    Hahaha, did the same.

    I’m also guilty. Looking back, I think it forshadowed my future use of psychedelics.

    Ditto, still do in fact, makes family conversations hilarious.

    @Tenno: I’m doing it right now, but the empty, depressive silence of blog reading isn’t as cool of a sound.

    This video shames Adam Samberg’s weak punching.

    @rogerniner: I’m playing some mashups and it’s totally awesome to do it to it.

    FAP FAP FAP….

    oh wait.
