It’s too bad Dubai imprisons you mercilessly if you ever get caught with weed. Their fountains sure are cool.
“This is the worst mariachi music I have ever heard. Also, the whale poops at 1:05.”

Don’t be fooled, fellow Stoners. This has nothing to do with the television series the screen grab implies, which is how I got sucked into watching it on youtube in the first place.
Still. It was something of a lucky find.
When you hear the words film school, it’s music videos like this that come straight to mind what with the college-aged actors, the self-indulgent, presentational shots, and the dramatic story lines. There is, however, something about this little production that’s kind of eloquent. I loved, for instance, the deflated balloons in the opening sequence.
I probably would have ditched the song and the girl. Neither really work. But what does work is how the thing looks. It’s beautiful in a “look me, I went to film school” kind of way.
We get it, you know what a light kit is.
So watch it with the sound off—or maybe put this music on instead—and keep your thumb close to your eye, so you can mask the girl’s face out of the picture. It’s not that she’s ugly. She’s just sort of uninteresting.
This awesome music video combines the glory of Sigur Ros with the trippy 70’s film Fantastic Planet. If you haven’t seen Fantastic Planet, I would highly recommend it. It’s really something and pretty easy to track down online. I could do all that work for you, but I’m too lazy.
And they’re both awesome in an old-school, slave-song sort of way.

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen Vanilla Sky, but there’s this scene at the end of the movie where all these little moments of the ever-crazy Tom Cruise’s life flash before his eyes.

“All that I want is keeping it easy.”
You may know Röyksopp from that caveman commercial, but their music is consistently awesome and the lyrics to this song are particularly relevant.
Stoners love creating stop-motion music videos by taking over entire cities and animating other people’s windows.
