Darkside of Oz

darkside of oz isn't an amazing conspiracy. the two don't actually go together. instead our brains hear the sounds and see the images and create relationships that don't actually exist. this isn't to discount how entertaining it is, though. on the contrary, it's bombdotcom.com. but the phenomenon isn't limited to just darkside of oz.

this phenomenon works for pretty much anything, especially The Flaming Lips and the cartoon channel. don't knock it until you try it. it also, amazingly, works with with Justice/Will Smith/WALE. in full disclosure, i am not on the payroll of any of the aforementioned artists and this is not my idea. i took it from Justice themselves via an interview in Pitchfork: "
...when we got this song we loaded the Will Smith video on YouTube [for] "Getting Jiggy Wit It". We are just putting that track on top of the video. It's perfect. It's like a hit, you know? We were dancing behind our table looking at the video. It's really cool."

what you need to do: play the WALE track then play Gettin Jiggy Wit It on mute. Justice was right. it is really cool... and hilarious.

In the interest of full disclosure, Colin has been witnessed enjoying this phenomena in the syncopation of Kid A and "28 Days Later". Draw your own conclusions.
