WWF: Connected.

This is how to combine a simple concept with some stunning execution.

TOUCH(points)DOWN!

The Superbowl is not only the big show of the world's (actually, just America's) favourite sport, but it is also the big show for advertising. With advertising rates, reportaetly, reach a crazy $100,000 a second, it is only the big boys that can afford to play this game. And boy did they step up to the mark (is that a baseball reference? sorry). Here's a few of my favourites from this year.

Volkswagen



Chrysler



Coca-Cola





Pepsi



Chevy



Brisk

Wizard Smoke

This is VERY cool. Especially in 720p. A group of skaters cover themselves in chalk dust from head to toe and then took to their boards. Some epicness continues.



Just imagine how long they had to clean themselves and their clothes.

Music Monday 38.

Back down to our regular sized Music Mondays, although don't worry the quality of the music is as high as ever. Let's get down to it.

Lupe Fiasco - Words I Never Said



With his second single Lupe takes his forthcoming album, Lasers, in a totally new direction from The Show Goes On. Lupe goes at this track hard, he pulls no punches. He works well with Skylar Grey (yeah she's on Eminem's new track too) and just goes for it.

Kanye West - Young Folks (Peter Bjorn And John cover)



I don't know where this song came from, I've got no idea if it's new or old and quite frankly I don't care. It's incredibly. Taking catchyness to a whole new level, Kanye teams up with Peter Bjorn and John (we shouldn't be surprised who he collobs with these days) to cover their hit Young Folks. Oh yeah and there's a bit of a rant in the middle, classic Kanye.

Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues



Those lovely folk, er folk, are giving this track away for free on their website, isn't that nice of them? Yes it is, because this track is a lovely bit of gorgeousness. It's simple, focusing around the voices and guitars and Fleet Foxes pull it off wonderfully.

Funtcase - Make Our Day



Nice and settled after Fleet Foxes? Well this track will wake you up like no other. A unbearbaly huge bit of dubstep here. It also follows in the footsteps of Cockney Thug of the pre-song phonecall which sets the track up perfectly.

Touching Strangers.

I'm a big fan of street-style photography and have a friends that often do this and other forms of portrait photography. Personally, I can't imagine anything more awkward than approaching strangers on the street and asking to take a picture of them to put on the internet for everyone to see. Photographer Richard Renaldi took any notion of awkwardness to a whole new level with his project "Touching Stangers". This project invited strangers on the streets to be photographed together whilst establishing physical contact, as you can see, some were more comfortable than others. See more here.

Winter In Hell.

A beautifully captured video of the Icelandic winter that is turned on it's head by the violent eruption of Eyjafjallajokull last winter. The calm and still winter where the ice settles on the beaches is disrupted like never before in recent time. The volcano erupts in huge bellows of smoke and covered the continent and then we see the raw power of the lava eruptions as fire and rocks spit ferociously into the air. A wonderful video of the raw power and beauty of nature.

May The Force Start Your Car.

This ad is really great. It's showing off probably the most pointless function of a car, but in all honesty, who cares? Judging by the amount of Youtube views, clearly not many people.



VW do it again.
