Chances are you've seen this video all over the net in the past week, but it's too cool for us not to share. Wilco collaborated with King Features for the video for The Whole Love 's upbeat groover "Dawned On me." The result is the first original, hand-drawn Popeye cartoon in over 30 years. And yep, the gangs all here: Olive Oyl, Wimpy, Swee'Pea, Nels Cline, John Stirratt...you get the picture. Anyway, watch the fun, Wilco-soundtracked nostalgia trip below: [...]

Lana Del Rey 's career has been widely covered in 'recap posts', mainly for mad hits from lamestreamers who want to be all like 'How did Lana Del Rey get 2 where she is now?' Anyways, whenever there is an internationally acclaimed meme or news story, some random ass Japanese people make a Second-Life-wave animated version, recapping the story, and provide post-ironically funnie commentary on it, sorta because it is for 'crazy foreigners. The video showcases every inch of Lana Del Rey 's AMAZING curves. It looks EGGZACKLY like #LDR! [...]

The new Wilco video for Dawned On Me from the band's Grammy-nominated new record The Whole Love is a collaboration with King Features that presents the first hand-drawn Popeye cartoon in more than 30 years. The music video was directed by Darren Romanelli. In this new video, Popeye vies for Olive Oyl's affections with his usual nemesis, Bluto, and with a new challenger, Wilco front man Jeff Tweedy. As one of the earliest animated characters, introduced in 1933 by Fleischer Studios, Popeye has become one of the most enduring and [...]

Not only am I a little surprised to see Wilco tossing a music video out, their first since the late 902s, but the video itself is a pleasant surprise. It's a really fun video that gets the 19302s animated treatment, and actually stars the cast of Popeye. The band gets animated as well, but this video for "Dawned On Me" is all about the cartoon stars of the past. Check it out below. Thanks to COS for the heads up . [...]

To celebrate the centennial of the late, great cartoonist's birth, Google today features a ghoulish "Doodle" in honor of Charles Addams , the longtime New Yorker magazine contributor who was a master of the macabre and the creator of the Addams Family.

Warped All Day Take a ride on Cartoon's magic carpet through an interstellar world of warped synths, squeals and relentless barrelling drums. Listening to the album 69er On A Magic Carpet is like being stuck in a remixed computer game, upside down. Dizzying sounds whir past at breakneck speed in an ever-upbeat utopia. In the spirit of Dan Deacon, Ryan Bennett's energy levels remain high in a constant state of psychotic bliss. With chewy synths splitting the crisp cuts of seamless melodies it [...]

In February of 1990, I xeroxed 2 pages of the New Yorker magazine, to hold onto what I considered one of the funniest pieces of writing ever. It was titled Coyote V. Acme and was penned by regular New Yorker writer and NJ resident, Ian Frazier . In a nutshell, and I'll post part of it after the jump, Wile E. Coyote, plaintiff sues the Acme Company for product liability and the injuries he sustained over his career at Warner Brothers Entertainment. It's written in legalese and describes so well some of the cartoons and [...]

Wave Twisters by DJ Q-Bert Wave Twisters is a 45 minute dj turntable scratch sci-fi stoner cartoon movie and it even has a PLOT. I think. In this cartoon this chick has been hypnotized into thinking she's an ostrich.. so she's running around as one. But in her brain some sort of psychic ghost

Herrotics have been flying the flag in Manchester for a good few years now. They never come with that soft sound so if you like your Hip Hop gritty and nasty then this is a good place to start. Cartoon is produced by Liverpool-based producer Reklews but still has that typical Herrotics sound. Herrotics // Facebook // Soundcloud Reklews // Soundcloud DJ A-UP Tags: audio , Herrotics , [...]

It's no secret that I love Tom Whalen's prints and frequently post about his wonderful works of whimsical magical art. Tom really captures the essence of his subject matter (usually famous cartoons) with bold geometrical shapes. The final result is instantly recognizable - never under or over produced, simply perfect! The Los Angeles based poster company, Dark Hall Mansion intrigued me a few months ago when they posted about and released Whalen's homage to, " It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown ". [...]
