It’s still summer on the new @MiniatureTigers song

It’s fall…technically. Summer continues to barely hang on in Vancouver and I got an email saying I should check out the new, trippy, video for NYC’s Miniature Tigers (I think they’re form New York…their bio lists them as like, bi-coastal…I guess it doesn’t really matter. We all live on the internet now).

My wife Coral loves the song “Oblivious” so when I saw they have a new one, I had to hit play.

The video premiered on Noisey where they talk about the technology used for the clip.

“We got the opportunity from Microsoft to test out their new augmented reality headset, the Hololens; which we used to shoot the whole video as it has a built in camera,” explains one of the video’s directors, Meghan Doherty. “Many of the effects and objects you see in the video are actually from an app within the headset called Actiongram, that has a gallery of 3D holograms that you can ‘place’ in your environment, so to speak. 

“With this technology we built a story inspired by ‘Crying in the Sunshine’ around our hero, the astronaut. It was really fun and mind blowing to be able to ‘place’ this astronaut in the space with us, and shoot around him, just like using a live actor. It feels exciting and fresh to use a new tool to tell a story. It also felt like I was beamed in from the future running around Baltimore with this headset on. I got a lot of curious stares and a lot of questions.”

Coral is home tomorrow! I am pretty excited to see her.  She has been tooling around the Cheltenham region for about a week…checking out Bath, Gloucester, Bristol and London. She bought Harry Potter wizard wands today. Neat.

Happy Monday! Go with yourself.

Coral and I watched the movie “Sleeping With Other People” the other day. It was alright. Allison Brie…I love her, I watched it.

But we really liked this Miniature Tigers song that popped up in tn the film.

Coral and I hammered through Netflix’s Love over a week or so. I ended up loving that TV show more than I thought I would (reviews were meh from my friends). I think I enjoyed it because the awkward nerd Gus kept having sex with Hollywood smokeshows…fantasy stuff. Good for Gus.

The show featured a song from Colleen Green called “Wild One.” I loved her 2015 record I Want To Grow Up. When I heard “Wild One” my ears perked up…wait, I think it was during a sex scene…yeah I was invested in the moment. Anyways, the character Mickey reminds me of how I think Colleen Green might be? Oh shit, I hope that’s not offensive…like what if Colleen is reading about herself and stumbles on my blog and is like, “fuck you dude, I’m, nothing like Mickey!” I liked Mickey (some of the time)!

And can we just talk about how Bertie is the star of that show?

Hey Look at that, I got a haircut.

Vegas in just a handful of days…DJing tonight at Match, Saturday in Victoria (a destination wedding for a couple out of Iowa….neat)…and then Atomic City USA! That I better fix what I can…unless I can do enough crunches for abs between now and Sunday?

Went to Bao Down in Gastown after the cut and they were CRANKING the hiphop.

First off, Bao Down is great…if you find yourself in Vancouver, hit it. Cheap, funky, they serve beers, good. They also won the Chicken Fight V chicken wing contest last Sunday at Lamplighter. Neat.

They had this Future cut going off.

Hey, bro just had a baby. Congratulations Future!

Go with yourself.
