“Headbanging while making fire” by esy87

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Dude, I don’t know, but I think this might be one of the best videos on all of YouTube. Wait, didn’t I just say that like, last post or something? Seriously though, I mean it this time…

A selection of comments about “Headbanging while making fire” as posted on YouTube:

“you guys are badasses. this is the plateau of manliness.”
- foodcomatose

“this looks [like] my kind of party”
- ponysoldier888

“As a somewhat distinguished, or at the very least experienced, film critic, I can say with no doubt in my mind that esy87’s “Headbanging while making fire” is this generation’s Citizen Kane. I lament that the character limit of a YouTube comment box could never hope to sustain an analysis worthy of this work of art, however, such an endeavor is unnecessary - “Headbanging while making fire” is of such a pure, simple quality that it can be both understood and enjoyed within its 1:42 run time.”
- Blocken

“Somehow they seem like animals who have an irresisteble urge to do this.”
- Mazinager

“it’s about the pragmatic views on socio-economic modalities that were initiated in the southern colonies, pre-revolutionary war … oh, and the oil crisis”
- guttermanek

“where is this? looks like a great place to camp”

Coachella in 3-d!

PHOTOGRAPHY BY: RYAN COLDITZ

My good friend and amazing designer Ryan Colditz recently returned from Coachella with some three-dimensional photography of the happenings! It’s like bringing a little piece of the mind-melting insanity straight to your face. And, completely fitting for musical photography- think of it as stereoscopic surround sound! 3-D glasses required!

More images & a quirky essay by Ryan himself on the (mostly self-invented!) art of 3-d photography. The dude jig-rigged two cameras  with some McGuyver style maneuvers from Home Depot! Great stuff.
