Spose, an obscure rapper from Maine, has released a sweet video for his new single “I’m Awesome,” where he raps about how he’s not really awesome at all. This is the counterpoint to pretty much all other rap songs, where the rappers pretty much just talk about how awesome they are (ie: Ice Ice Baby, Rapper’s Delight, etc.).

I watched “Alone in the Wilderness” last night, and it was one of the most endearing, heartwarming and folksy documentaries I’ve ever seen. Today, I just can’t stop thinking about it. It tells the story of Dick Proenneke, a 51 year old from Iowa, who moves to the Alaska wilderness in the ’60s and builds a permanent homestead there. He lived there alone for the next 35 years, and recorded film of himself and the nature surrounding him. After his death in 2003, a filmmaker produced three films from his footage and meticulous notes.
I’m not sure if anyone else will find it as interesting or entrancing as me, but here is the first ten minutes of “Alone in the Wilderness.” If you like it, I highly encourage you to watch the rest of this film, as well as the other two films in this series:

After nine heart surgeries, “Harmonica Man” Andy Mackie stopped his prescriptions and used the money to spread the joy of music to kids. This video is guaranteed to make your day better. Also, it shows that there’s nothing that will extend your life more than having mission and a positive outlook on things.

As was to be expected, the new BBC nature series “Life” by David Attenborough is absolutely incredible. I’ve been watching this since the beginning, and I’ve gotta say, these are the two single most amazing clips so far:

Directed by Chuck Jones, this Warner Bros., this short is considered one of the funniest cartoons ever produced. Steven Spielberg defined it “the Citizen Kane of animated film” and “the most perfect cartoon ever made.” That might be overkill, but I certainly did enjoy watching One Froggy Evening, where Michigan J. Frog makes his historic debut. Enjoy!

This video is unbelievable. Also, super anti-ginger. (Warning: Not for the squeamish.)

Another one of those amazing “shoot everything backwards” music videos. It’s been done before, but this one is particularly good. Plus seeing entropy reversed never gets old. (Thanks, Jim!)
