    This enough sexyness to balance it all out?

    *guh*

    >faints<

    One of the things that kills me about this set is that the first two pics are, so, um, shag-able and the third is him sitting in a stool looking all innocent with his hands together and looking upward.

    YOU! JADE! Gimme the link to the source of these pics or I will sic zombies on you!

    Where was I? Oh, yeah. Passed out on the floor from teh sexy.... *guh*

    Thanks, Jade! Wink You more than met the really sexy criteria with this set.

    (By the way, even though I said this thread was one in which I should be prepared and knowingly enter at my own risk given the title, I was SO not prepared for the incredible level of hotness I encountered. Surprised Perhaps, even within this thread, there should be a warning as we scroll down. Like a *Spoiler Alert* with a little extra headspace in the post. A *Sexy Alert*, if you will. Except, they're all sexy… Maybe *Splatter Alert* or *Spiller Alert* (once again, there's coffee on my computer because I was not expecting my reaction to reading this board. I'm not a total spaz, I promise, it's an occupational hazard. I'm a professional writer. I drink a LOT of coffee!)? Or how about a *Soiler Alert* Laugh wait… noo….

    Edited to say: Oh, and I second violetchaos's "GUH!" Obviously.

    AGGHHHHHH.

    Yes, I have most certainly found my people. I love you guys. HUGSKiss

    If you find this happening frequently, u should get one of those vinyl keyboard cover thingies. Wink

  • ughugh
    OH wait, I think they are actually made of rubber?

    YES! A keyboard condom!! That is EXACTLY what I need!

    That, and maybe a muzzle. You guys are so lucky this board isn't equipped with live audio chat, I seriously would never shut up.

    (I'm laughing so hard the people loading in downstairs–I live in the building next to the venue where I sometimes work & my front window overlooks the ramp to the side door and is next to the lot–are looking up at the sky trying to locAlsoate the source of the strange noise…)

    Also: I love you guys, too! I always love it when I locate more of my people.

    He talked about the Last Leaf video! With food! Dan mentioned a video with toast. Could this be the one? I'll have to look for that article.

    I just can't imagine Last Leaf with toast (or any food for that matter).

    And hello ChristelAdina!

    Hello Snack_Cakes!

    As soon as Damian said it, I knew he wasn't totally kidding. Even before he said he wasn't kidding! LOL I began to picture animated food and trying to apply the visual to the song. I keep thinking of things like the video for Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" or the old California Raisin commercials when I was a kid. Or, you know, Schoolhouse Rock type things. That's what "animated food" means to me. Or like Store Wars.

    I mean, the videos rarely have anything to do with even the feeling of the songs anymore (except TTSP, esp. the Marching version. Or is that just me that brims with hope and pride and an indomitable fortitude of spirit–not to mention, a desire to wear epaulets-when I watch it? Embarassed). They go with the sounds or the arrangement.

    [It occurs to me that this next bit is a rambling, not-quite-formed-thought on the other videos from OTBCOTS thus far, and I wondered if there's other thread for it, as this is the Damian-and-his-fine-from-every-angle-self thread. I looked but all I see are the Boardie video threads and the EndLove or other specific video threads. If this belongs somewhere else, I apologize. However, I AM bringing this traveling circus of a thought back around to the mention of "Last Leaf" at WITS and Damian was there, and, presumably he was hot...

    ...maybe squashed banana will post a really sexy picture immediately after this post, to balance things out.]

    The videos: All the visual echoing and bright colors of "WTF?" goes with the song's distortion, that peircing-but-still-pleasant solo and the bright, punchy mix. Plus, at least for me, that song itself is like a overload (of good things) even without the visual accompaniment. When my brain overloads from stress or excitement or fatigue, I eventually start repeating or say something embarrassing, my expressions get fragmented and surreal and I don't know where one thing stops and another begins (which can be creative but it does make it hard to convince the officers that I'm not on drugs. Oh look, it's happening right now). Obviously, when a computer gets trails and echoes during a freeze, it's because I've given it too much information that it can't make sense of, and it doesn't know where to start (Hey wait. That sounds a lot like what Damian's singing about in "WTF?" This person has him so over-stimulated and distracted he can't figure out what's up… well, that video may be more suited to the song and its lyrics than first thought! Wink).

    And of course, EndLove is the song for a time manipulation video simply because it has all the various percussive accents, the propulsive bass line and other sounds that imply movement or speed (various ticking and alarm sounds, the sped up/increased pitch of the backing vocal at several points and the rapid runs of keys, etc.) Actually, the song reminds me of two things: Sheila E. and '80s movie montages, I'm not sure how Shelia lends credence to "the sounds and not the subject" fitting the image of the the videos, but she does, and how the montages fit it is obvious (Um, hello tracksuits and crane poses).

    But animated food? I just can't yet envision the way this could possibly go along with "Last Leaf". But then, maybe the toast Dan mentioned was left forgotten on the breakfast table during the morning rush, and it's leading the rest of the kitchen inhabitants in a somber sing-along lament.


    Here's a photo as penance for the misplaced blather above:

    Not exactly "hot", Damian in the spot

    Hahaha, Jade did post some pretty sexy photos immediately after your post!

    But even though Damian is hot, I think a better name for this thread would be "All things Damian."  I believe that we're supposed to put anything Damian related here so it's perfectly okay to discuss what he said at Wits.

    On the other hand, now that we know they're working on a Last Leaf video someone should probably start a thread on that. Until then I'll just continue my thoughts on the subject here…

    ChristelAdina, I agree with you regarding the videos. Last leaf is such a serious song that I can't imagine animated food accompanying it. But the Boys never disappoint me so I'm sure the video will be amazing no matter what.

    This may or may not be related to the video but I did recently see toast as art! I went to Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum in Key West and lo and behold, there was bread with art toasted onto it! My very first thought (because most of my thoughts pertain to OK Go) was of Dan's toast video comment. This isn't the toast I saw but it's pretty similar.

    Sorry, it seems that I'm the one off of the thread subject. Jade, I could use a photo now.

    That's what I call a welcome back present.
  • ughugh
    I'd never seen him do that guitar/audience thing before the rock the garden show.
  • violetchaos364violetchaos364
    Aw, lookit how beat up his guitar is! That's so sweet - well used and well loved since you can see he has played it for years, and perhaps he's hit things with it (What? He's a passionate person!), and he's still playing it.

    I was prepared today. I read all other new posts first, put down my water and made sure the Editorial Strength Coffee was safely away from the computer before I clicked and scrolled.

    And the second shot undid me anyway. Then the third. And that last one? Well, "Awwwww!" is still echoing about my apartment. :)

    I love this board. Kiss I feel like it's a fabulous reward I can have just for being me. Thanks you guys.

    Welcome Tiffany!! Smile


    I don't know where to post this, because it isn't an informative interview,

    but do you've ever heard : " I'm being a little manic, aren't I ?!" out of Damian's mouth??


  • squashedbananasquashedbanana

    Aw I wish they didn't smosh two interviews into one video

    If you didn't know, Damian is a guest editor for magnetmagazine.com for the week

    http://www.magnetmagazine.com/category/guest-editor/

    Personal favourite is:

    A Watch That Has A Laser Attached To It (And Other Good Ideas Had While Drinking)

    I made a whole topic for Magnet and the guest editor post at the beginning of the week...

    Anyway, today's posts thrill me because Damian recommends Rockers AND David Foster Wallace, and these things please me in a way that belies me being awake this early on a Sunday.
