Anyway, the horrible and strange world of Michael Hussar:
The beautiful and strange world of Audrey Kawasaki
Chris Cunningham and Aphex Twin:
Venetian Snares: Befriend a Childkiller
David Elsewhere dancing to Autechre's Eutow (I think if you pulled this on a dance floor you'd just scare the shit out of everyone. I think this is creepy more than anything but...still interesting.)
Sure you've all seen this but still, it's one of the greatest vids of all time
And why Chris Morris is great:

Giabattista Vico, Axioms:
By its nature, the human mind is indeterminate; hence, when man is sunk in ignorance, he makes himself the measure of the universe.
Another property of the human mind is that, when people can form no idea of distinct and unfamiliar things, they judge them by what is present and familiar.
Wonder is the daughter of ignorance. The greater the cause inspiring it, the greater the wonder.
The weaker its power of reasoning, the more vigorous the human imagination goes.
The ricorse of human history:
The age of gods, the birth of society, characterised by poetry and metaphor
The age of heroes, the maturation of society, characterised by metonymy and synecdoche
The age of man/reason, the decay of society where man wastes his substance, characterised by irony
And for Vico, human society rolls on in endless cycles of the above. I think he may be right.

Quintillian:
Exuberance is easily remedied, but barrenness is incurable, be your efforts what they may.
For what else is our object in teaching save that our pupils should not always require to be taught?

Oh and here's some music for you: A selection from the God Machine's Scenes From the Second Storey. It's out of print now and will cost you about 30 for the CD on ebay so if any of you like it and want the other tracks let me know and I'll post them. Personally they're my favourite band of all time...
