Awesome animated video! Some fun facts about the Sledgehammer video (from wikipedia):
- Gabriel lay under a sheet of glass for 16 hours while filming the video one frame at a time.
- The portion of the song featuring the synthesized flute solo was realized in the video by first one and then two oven-ready chickens, headless and featherless, animated using stop-motion.
- In 1987, it won nine MTV Video Music Awards, a record which still stands as of 2008.
Thanks for sharing Mike!

Stuff to do on Friday the 13th:
- Finish up your stuff for Expozine (something many folks in Montreal are actually doing today/tonight)
- Go to Mitz’ Friday the Thirteenth DJ party at Silver Door
- Go to that Silly Kissers/Mixylodian/Witchies show this evening at Le Milieu
- Start planning your outfit for the sure-to-be-amazing Tune-Yards/Dirty Projectors show Sunday evening
- Here’s an awesome quote from Tune-Yards (Merrill Garbus) in this week’s MTL Mirror:
“I consider all art to be political,” says Merrill Garbus. “The fact that I recorded an album all by myself is a feminist statement in this day and age, when most musicians I know, but especially female musicians, have a hard time seeing that they can be a recording artist by their own efforts. For men as well—you don’t have to have approval or a master hand over your creation, it’s yours and it can be all yours.”
