This post is mostly if you are bored at work (or home) and have the freedom to browse the internet.
I don't know if you are aware of it or not, but there is an entire underground society of geeky teens and young twenty somethings that make incredibly entertaining time wasters. Seriously. I am not one of them but I wish I was because then I would make people giggle a lot more.
My involvement with this subculture dates back to the
pantspress days when I started reading comics by
Dylan (Bite Me) ,
Vera (Return to Sender) , Jen (Strings of fate, which would be linked except she sucks and took it down), and
Bill (Anne Frank Conquers the Moon Nazis) After I went to San Diego three summers ago (or was it two?) to the San Diego Comicon for the *sole purpose* of meeting the Pants Press gang, I started follow
Clio Chiang's work as well.
So a while a go, Clio (who is awesome)
did a little animation about a cat and a fish. Did I post this? It was pretty cute so I'm sure it did. Anyway, the ending credits are decorated with a song that Clio asked for specifically from the guy (guys?) over at the
SONGS TO WEAR PANTS TO site. Which is really awesome and which everyone should go check out, even if they don't click on any other links from this post. How Songs to Wear Pants To works, is, people can request a song they'd like to hear and the guy who runs the site makes it. For example, someone simply wrote in 'I want you to make a song in your least favorite genre about why you dont' like that genre'. The response was a little one minute song in punk rock style about how punk rock is too loud. Another was a guy who wrote a poem for his girlfriend and wanted it in a certain style. The Pants guy did that too.
One of the people who requested a song was
Emmy (or B1ind1 as we know her on deviantart.) she requested
"When I am feeling sad like life is just a bowl of soggy oatmeal, I would like my very own song to encourage me to keep going and have an awesome day, and that everything will be allright no matter what happens.
Like my own theme song hahah!
Can have a punkish feel, can have a banjo, can mention kitties, can be any kind of awesomeness you want.
If you can't think of any lyrics, heres some topics I enjoy: Cats, sunshine, flowers, Unicorns, rocking out, Harry Potter, magic. I also enjoy computer gamish sounds like from oldschool mario and junk.
I like to draw everyday, for I am an artist! I do mostly cartoony stuff. I drink tea everyday. I wear weird clothes everyday. I am a chocoholic."
and got
this song
Emmy is a genius for both her cartoons and her sense of humor, which apparently runs in her family, since her brother Neil was the one who created the
Potter Puppet Pals website. and I suspect he also came up with that Charlie the Unicorn youtube video in the first place, but I could be wrong. There are too few clues to tell.
