Sonic Weapon Fence: LOST Tribute Band

Since this has turned into an unofficial Lost Week here at the blog, I'll keep it going. Today I want to bring your attention to a cool band called Sonic Weapon Fence, which performs songs in tribute to Lost. Their first EP The Oceanic Six is available for free download at their site here. I downloaded it last year and it's been on my mp3 player ever since. They now also have a second collection of songs available for purchase at iTunes and CD Baby. Their songs are clever, fun, and tongue-in-cheek. Check them out; you'll be glad you did!

LOST: DHARMA Orientation Video: The Remix

Lost would have been a totally different show if this had been DHARMA's orientation film!

LOST Meets BAYWATCH

Continuing the Lost theme established yesterday, enjoy what would happen if Lost were more like Baywatch. Excellently done!

LOST's Michael Emerson in Prison Training Film From 1992

If you're a big Lost fan like myself, you'll get a kick out of this clip. This is from a film made in 1992 used to train prison workers. When one prisoner becomes unruly, it's up to the prisoner's counselor to talk him down--Michael Emerson, aka "Ben Linus!" Take a look!



I'd like to see what the Others would do for this man!

7-Up Commercials Starring Geoffrey Holder

I'm a huge soda drinker. We're talking addiction level, which may explain why I'm 60 pounds overweight. Pepsi is my main drug of choice, but I'm certainly not averse to Coke. One soda that I used to drink quite often as a kid was 7-Up, the "Uncola." It used to be a high profile soft drink, but seems to have faded from pop culture consciousness these days. Maybe a return to catchy TV advertising would change that around. Advertising like what you'll find below.

Throughout the 70s and early 80s, 7-Up commercials featured actor Geoffrey Holder espousing the pleasures of drinking the product, noting it's refreshing, crisp taste as opposed to the supposed sludge of cola drinks. These commercials were all over TV back in the day and were both enjoyable and effective. See for yourself, and perhaps you'll wish you had a 7-up handy!

Chomp Chomp

It's been awhile since I've featured a Pac-Man related post, so here's something I just came across last week. Similar in vein to the animation by artist PES I featured long ago, here is the short film "Chomp Chomp." Enjoy!
