Seven and a half years in the making, The Moon’s Milk is an entirely handmade stop-motion animated short about a time when the moon was close enough to be reached by ladder. Narrated by Tom Waits, the film chronicles the last expedition of Captain Millipede and his crew to harvest the milk seeping from the craters. The action takes place between the gravities of two heavenly bodies, which further complicates the attraction between the characters. Longing, missed signals, and mishaps lead to the enchantment of the heavens with music.

The Show is the first single by the Australian singer/songwriter Lenka. It was released on September 6th, 2008.
Lenka Kripac is an Australian singer and actress best known for her song The Show from her debut album, Lenka.
As a teenager, Lenka studied acting at the Australian Theatre for Young People, where she trained with actress Cate Blanchett. Lenka starred in the Australian ABC-TV drama series GP as Vesna Kapek in the 1990s. She also hosted Cheez TV and has guest starred in other Australian TV series, including Home and Away, Wildside, Head Start, and Spellbinder. She appeared in Australian feature films The Dish and Lost Things, as well as in theatre productions. Lenka provided the vocals for 2 tracks on Paul Mac’s 2005 album Panic Room. As Lenka Kripac, she was a member of the Australian electronic-rock crossover band Decoder Ring for two of their albums. She then moved to California in 2007.
After adopting her first name as her sole artistic name, Lenka released her eponymous debut album on 24 September 2008, with The Show chosen to be the first single release from the set. The album peaked at number 142 on the US Billboard 200. Her song Everything at Once was featured in a Windows 8 ad, becoming a worldwide success. Lenka creates paper art type stop-motion animated music videos for each of her singles with her husband James Gulliver Hancock, a visual artist from Australia, for a deliberately childlike effect. She provided vocals on two tracks (Addicted and Sunrise) on German artist Schiller’s album Atemlos, released in Germany on March 12th, 2010.
In 2011 she released her second album Two which was inspired by her engagement and is full of romantic love songs. Despite a warm critical reception, the album failed to match the success of her debut album, with Two reaching peak chart positions of 69 and 88 on the Belgian and Swiss charts respectively. Her third album Shadows appeared in 2013 after the birth of her son.

Anthony Gonzalez: âWhen I was a kid, I had this cassette with someone telling these weird stories on it, and I was in love with it. My brother and I wrote the story for that song based on those cassettes. With that song, I wanted to start with something so ridiculous and basic and childish that then grows to something very touching and human. Itâs dangerous, but if you listen to it in the context of the album, it makes sense. Thereâs always one song on my albums that people hate. I feel like thatâs going to be the case for this album, too. [laughs]â
Pitchfork: âWhoâs the little girl on that song?â
Anthony Gonzalez: âSheâs Justinâs (Justin Meldal-Johnsen, a producer on the album) five-year-old daughter. Sheâs amazing, a born actress. The first time I met her, she talked to me for 30 minutes non-stop: âAnthony, I had this dream.â I didnât know her, and she was talking to me like I was a friend.â
Swing You Sinners! is a 1930 animated cartoon short, directed by the Fleischer Brothers as part of the Talkartoons. The cartoon is notable for its surreal, dark and sometimes even abstract content.
Let’s join Bimbo as he is chased by a policeman for trying to steal a chicken!
The cartoon was released on September 24, 1930 in the Talkartoons series and was animated by Ted Sears and Willard Bowsky. George Cannata, Shamus Culhane, Al Eugster, William Henning, Seymour Kneitel, and Grim Natwick also worked on it, but are uncredited in the title card. The cartoon was animated by a completely new staff who’d never worked in animation before because the studio had to replace some animators who quit. Animator Shamus Culhane states in his memoirs that though he created and animated what might be construed as a racist caricature of “a Jew with a black beard, huge nose, and a derby,” the studio’s atmosphere and its mixed ethnic crew made the depiction completely acceptable to all the Jews in the studio. The caricature in question is a reference to Jewish-American comedian Monroe Silver.
Motion Picture News wrote on October 11, 1930, “The clever cartoon pen of Max Fleischer again demonstrates itself in this Talkartoon. An off-stage chorus sings the lyrics to the rhythm of the action and the result is usually diverting. The cartoon hero is this time taken into a grave-yard with the absurd results that you might well imagine. Worth a play.”
The soundtrack was composed by W. Franke Harling, with lyrics by Sam Coslow. Title song was based on âSing, You Sinners!â, some of which is played in the titles of the cartoon.
Do not go gentle into that good night is a poem written in 1947 in the form of a villanelle and is the most famous work of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.

Sorry (lyrics by Danny Elfman)
Iâm So SorryâŠ
There isn’t time â for revolution There isn’t time â to evolutionize or hide Those things most precious – Our most precious Things that got erased, corrupted, infiltrated I’m so sorry â I’m so sorry
Iâm gonna try, Iâm gonna try To get away from your compelling Mist of lies and misconceptions No protection, no escape Where I will never have to see your fucking face You suffocate me
I canât breathe while youâre alive I canât breathe while youâre alive You suffocate, you suffocate And Iâm so sorry that I didnât die Or just evaporate into a toxic cloud
It’s gonna break â it’s gotta break, It’s made of glass, it’s gonna break And all the hate that you collected And infused into protected piles of shit Glass eyed devotees will flock to your gates Your house is on fire â your house is on fire
Pull it forward â pull it back Your eyes are empty, cold and black We gotta break it, we gotta break it We gotta break that fucking jack whip on a broken hip â my life is a joke if I can’t even breathe.
Sorry you exist because you suck the fucking air out of my lungs I am not afraid to die â still alive, still alive And I won’t let you bury me
The Alcoholic is a video set to the tune of a Röyksopp song with the same name. Here we follow a man who finds himself a puppet to alcoholism. Intended to have the look of a comedy and the feel of a tragedy — this video juxtaposes the two with a combination of puppetry and live action.
Straight Outta Lynwood is the twelfth studio album by “Weird Al” Yankovic, released on September 26, 2006. It was the sixth studio album self-produced by Yankovic. The musical styles on the album are built around parodies and pastiches of pop and rock music of the mid-2000s. The album’s lead single, White & Nerdy, is a parody of Chamillionaire’s hit single Ridin’. The single peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100; Canadian Idiot, a parody of Green Day’s American Idiot, also charted, peaking at number 82. The album contains three further parodies, based on Confessions Part II by Usher, Do I Make You Proud by Taylor Hicks, and Trapped in the Closet by R. Kelly. The other half of the album is original material, containing many “style parodies”âmusical imitations of existing artists, such as Brian Wilson, Rage Against the Machine, Sparks, animated musical specials, Cake, and 1980s charity songs.
