the 90s strike back.

I honestly don’t know what surprises me more, that Hanson is still able to demand such a high quality of video production or that Weird Al is still alive to direct it (and play tambourine, for good measure.)  Does anyone else remember that distinct time in the later 90s when every radio station’s lineup was some combination of Hanson, Smash Mouth, Dru Hill and Natalie Imbruglia?  Christ, I still remember my early days of music piracy ripping songs from the radio courtesy my boombox’s tape deck – nothing like taking the dogs around the neighborhood with a ridiculous-ass Walkman in hand, listening to “Wild Wild West” – and using my computer microphone to record low-quality playbacks of Puff Daddy (“Come With Me”, pre-Diddy) and Third Eye Blind (which = still one of my favorite 90s bands.)

Aw, nostalgia.  Or our generation’s concept of it.  In other internet video news, Game has officially endorsed Justin Bieber and this batshit crazy guy from Finland plays the drums with giant icicles (when not hitting himself in the head repeatedly with a newspaper or taking his cats to the sauna.)  MJF challenge: alter your mind in some way and attempt to watch all 691 of his equally-WTF videos without absolutely freaking out.
