MGMT – All We Ever Wanted Was Everything from oneedo on Vimeo.

I’ve been a fan of MGMT since I saw the video of a guy dancing to Electric Feel with his super crazy dance moves…  The song All We Ever Wanted is taken from MGMT’s contribution to the Late Night Tales series.  The video is a visual journey into the creative minds of Ned Wenlock and Rodney Selby who Directed and Animated the video respectively.

Get your tickets boys and girls – Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, is heading to Vancouver for the IAMDONALD Tour. You’ve probably seen Donald on NBC’s Community, and last year’s cult comedy flick, Mystery Team. What you might have not known is that he also raps under the name Childish Gambino.

He recently dropped a new EP – download it here:

Stand-up plus music equals dopeness.

So I’m 24 now – That means in 2003 I was 17 – Which means growing up I was a huge Fall Out Boy Fan. And while the days of Fall Out Boy have passed, and they no longer remain a guilty pleasure of mine, I’m still huge fan of the vocal talents of lead singer Patrick Stump. This guy can belt out a tune (as evidenced by the video above). And so after almost a decade of Fall Out Boy antics, he’s setting out to make it on his own. Patrick Stump’s debut solo album, Soul Punk, hits stores next month.

Your boy tonight,
Matt

I love character design. One of the things I love most about Hamburger Disco is working on and exploring all of the cool characters we’ve got in our little world – like the fast food robot Fryman, and the Feed Me workers.

There’s nothing better than the fusion of great music, slick animation, and even better character design. This music video checks all three boxes.

The Lonely Island’s sophomore effort drops in the new year. Looks like 2011 will be off to a wicked start.

Avid MMA fans will probably recognize the name Genki Sudo, and if you do you probably remember his elaborate stage entrances before his bouts.  Genki Sudo was known for his unorthodox and creative fighting style (watch a few highlights on youtube and you’ll see) and his creativity outside of the ring as well.  He has now since hung up his gloves and turned to the world of music and dance with his group WORLD ORDER.  It reminds me of Vancouver based dance group Groovy G’s with their isolations and slow motion movement.

Check out this video montage of his famous entrances!

Haven’t you heard? Being a Dickead’s cool.  One of the Hardihood Clothing boys posted this on twitter the other day and I couldn’t get the song out of my head.  I have nothing against dickheads but sometimes I think that their choices in what they wear just don’t make sense… or maybe that’s the point? It’s not cool…but is that what makes it cool?

I can never understand it…

TIME TO WATCH SOME MTV VMA 2010 PERFORMANCES!

Just an FYI for you kiddies, Hamburger Disco is taking a trip to Japan next month in October… where it all started.  Keep your eyes out for some updates!

So yesterday’s Vancouver rain definitely made it clear that August is over and the colder Months are upon us,  so this song is maybe 2 months too late…but it made me smile nonetheless!  The video editing and the typography you see in the video is by design house Non-Format.  Their creative direction is the style I love to see on ads and media.

We’re currently working on a few new projects for Hamburger Disco (and yes that means new shirts for all those who are waiting!) so make sure to join our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter for all of our updates and some sneak peeks!

I really didn’t want to post up another video but I just recently discovered this cover and video.  Check out Cee-Lo green in his own style for this already great song.  This is probably one of my favourite songs from Band of Horses, and I was just talking to a friend of mine about how Cee-Lo is amazing on that new Bruno Mars track.

Cee-Lo’s unique vocals really gives the song a different twist, he definitely gives us an amazing track for the summer.  If you really like Cee-Lo like we do here, make sure to check out ceelogreen.co.uk for a download of his track “Georgia” which is equally amazing.
