Morning Music Video: Tik and Tok - "Days of Glass"

The musical mime duo Tik and Tok appeared in RETURN OF THE JEDI and XTRO, opened for Gary Numan and are a friggin' robotic musical mime duo. 

Evening Entertainment: Eugene Levy stars in 1988's THE ENIGMA OF BOBBY BITTMAN

Happy birthday to the heavily eyebrowed Levy, who turns 68 today!  Drive your Chevy to the Levy with his 1988 Cinemax comedy special, a fake documentary profiling his "Bobby Bittman" entertainer character that originated on "SCTV."

Gregg Araki's music video for The Micronauts' "The Jag"

Araki is a bit of a divisive figure in film, but there's know doubt that the DOOM GENERATION and MYSTERIOUS SKIN director, who turns 55 today, has an eye.  It's one naturally suited for music videos, so it's kind of a surprise that he hasn't directed more of them, but here's one about a fantasizing supermarket shopper that was released about the time of Araki's SPLENDOR.

Afternoon Music Video: Guy Pearce's "Fly All the Way"

I wasn't sure what to expect from the first video from MEMENTO, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL and PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT star Guy Pearce, but I don't think it would have been this, an increasingly bizarre (and disturbing) video featuring Pearce is a wide variety of pitchmen.  It's pitched with just a little more obvious self-awareness than an Eric Wareheim music video, but Tim White's journey into the land of the weird is certainly a compelling one.

(Thanks, Nerdist!)

In the News presents "Record Breaking Dominoes"

There's something satisfying about watching thousands of perfectly-placed dominoes falling down in order, and this 1980s news brief for kids showing off a group of Japanese students breaking the world record for dominoes in a gym fits the bill quite nicely.  I'd honestly watch the whole 35 minutes of the spectacle if it was available.
