Watch: Prabhu Deva - Kalluri Vaanil

Another favourite of the moment. The video is just awesome. :D

Watch: 50 Cent feat. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland - Ayo Technology

This song is so catchy. Humming it all day long. But I bet Timbaland stole the 8bit melody for this one, too (like for Nelly Furtado's Do it). I feel bad for the poor guy who made it and will never get to see a penny for it.

Watch: Krezip - I would stay (live at Pinkpop 2007)

I just bumped into this performance... god, it brings back memories from 2001, when I was still living in Belgium... Funny how the audience sings the whole song, but, in fact, is was a HUGE hit back then.

Listen: Mandy Moore - Umbrella (Rihanna cover)

Mmmmh.

Nerd stuff: The Möbius strip

Definition:
"The Möbius strip or Möbius band is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. It has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It is also a ruled surface. It was discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858."














Maybe you already knew this, maybe you haven't, and although I find this pretty interesting already, you may wonder why I post a thing like this. When I first read about the Möbius strip, it was because of the movie Lost Highway directed by David Lynch. The movie's structure is pretty hard to explain. If you haven't heard about the Möbius strip that is! In fact, the movie's dramaturgical structure is absolutely like one of these strips, it kind of bends itself to where it "begins". I find this fantastic as you can imagine :D So a few months ago, I found this picture, in which you can see a Möbius strip, made of a filmstrip! How cool is that.























I have one more pop culture fun fact for you: Nelly Furtado sings in her song Hey, man! from her first album Whoa, Nelly!:
We are a part of a circle
It's like a Mobius strip
And it goes 'round and 'round
Until it loses a link


I think it's one of her best songs, you can download it here: Hey, man!.mp3

Watch: Sigur Rós - Glósóli

Beautiful video with beautiful (icelandic, I presume) landscapes and beautiful children. Love it.
