I came across two robot love stories yesterday, both of which were adorable. The first is a short film by director Spike Jonze, who recently directed Where the Wild Things Are. The film is called I'm Here and tracks a familiar love story between two humanoid robots in Los Angeles, but with a twist that kind of reminds me of The Giving Tree. It's about 30-35 minutes long and I highly recommend it. There's also a trailer if you'd like to get a feel for it before diving in.

I also have a little music video by one of my favorite YouTube vloggers, Meekakitty called Don't Unplug Me by the All Caps. And yes, I realize this song is entirely done in autotune and I have already declared my distaste for it, but... uh... They're robots! It makes sense! Or something...

Check'em out and coo at all the cuteness.

I am sure we are all familiar with the band OK Go's past "homemade" video craziness. They just released their newest video for the song "This Too Shall Pass" and it is pretty much the most amazing Rube Goldberg Machine ever created. The only problem is, I have no idea what the lyrics of this song are as I was far too busy watching the action to pay any attention to the actual song.

As an added bonus, Gizmodo has embedded a series of videos showing the behind-the-scenes work that went into making this video.

Or in this case, everything you've seen in television is a green screen effect, courtesy of this cool demo video from Stargate Studios.

I stumbled across this video of the Muppets performing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. It's genius.

There is such a thing as too far, and this song by FattySpins is a wonderful demonstration of why falling in love at the Apple Store is just sad.

*tear*

I am seriously a sucker for this sort of fascinatingly creative take on fairly basic art.

I bring you, a wolf loves pork.

Glancing through my BoingBoing feed I came across a post about a rather peculiar slash interesting dance performance from Gothla, which is some sort of gothic bellydance event...

Besides the inventive choreography and costume, what I found interesting about this was the music. At approximately the 4:40 mark there's a real song with lyrics in there. I thought it sounded an awful lot like Joanna Newsom, so in my search for something Newsom to show off here for comparison, I actually found the exact song, Peach Plum Pear, featured in the Clockwork Couture performance.
