Alien Downlink
Alien Downlink: Trailer from Alien Downlink on Vimeo.
I can’t say enough about the awesomeness of this website. What an incredibly imaginative concept. Refreshingly enough, not only is the concept good, but so is the music. I have a couple of favorites. This one is funny.
This one is just cool… And filled with a wisdom regarding an understanding of our culture’s view on what would be termed drug use, versus self-medication, versus dulling a headache. A snippet of the lyrics below gives you a good feel for the context.
An excerpt from the Don’t Do Drugs lyrics:
“…and earlier today, federal agents raided a house suspected of being at the center of a local marijuana growing operation. The bust yielded five marijuana plants and also resulted in the arrest of the home’s owner, a 76 year-old grandmother who had to be rushed to the hospital after agents mistook her cup of tea for a handgun and shot her 24 times.”
Don’t do drugs! Unless it’s…
Ibuprofen, codeine, morphine, oxycodone, cephalexin, sertraline, prednisolone
They’ll make ya feel good!
Methadone, diazepam, hydrocodone, lidocaine, sildenafil citrate
Your wife says that you should!
Side effects may include anxiety, sweating, headaches, and a week of blurry vision.
But it’s alright because your pusher wrote your prescription.
And finally, a hilarious documentary that chronicles the discovery and revelation of signals from the depths of space… That happen to be Rock N’ Roll. Awesome.
