Super slow motion car crash + playful animation = The Moment.

I am really into the part where her face hits the airbag and it shows all of her fat bunch up into rolls.

The Moment is a short film written and directed by Verena Fels and Csaba Letay for the 2008 Festival of Animated Film in Stuttgart.

2)  Neutral Milk Hotel – In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

I slept on this record for entirely too long.  My girlfriend turned on “Oh Comely” the other day and I can’t get the song out of my head.  Many people have written much more profound things about this album so here’s a couple of reviews.

“It’s not really surprising that the group informally disbanded after this, to be honest. Their first full length album, On Avery Island was underwhelming even without the benefit of hindsight, and frankly this album set the bar impossibly high for anything that Mangum might have been planning afterwards. The album itself, you see, is completely extraordinary.”  – Sputnik Music (4.5/5) HERE.

“Seven years it’s been, and whether Mangum has had personal trouble or somehow lost his way with music, it’s not unreasonable to think that we’ve heard the last from Neutral Milk Hotel. I hope he does, but he may never pick up the guitar he set down after “Two-Headed Boy Part Two.” Even so, we have this album and another very good one, and that to me is serious riches. Amazing to think how it started, how at the core of it all was guts. I keep thinking of “It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleeding,” and one of Dylan’s truest lines: “If my thought-dreams could be seen/ They’d probably put my head in a guillotine.” Aeroplane is what happens when you have that knowledge and still take the risk.”  – Pitchfork (10/10) HERE.
