The many great thinkers of our time seem to have no problem getting their heads around staggeringly complex metaphysical concepts. Epistemology? No problem. Post Structuralism? Piece of Cake. Existential phenomenology? A breeze. But Twitter? These guys haven’t got a clue. Check out this recent Tweet we got from @ristotle

It is clear, then, that wisdom is knowledge having to do with certain principles and causes. But now, since it is this knowledge that we are

Or this one from @Michel_Foucault

Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes t

What is that one attributes the name to Michel?!?! We totes wanna RT @Nobel_Prize. These dudes just don’t get it. Worse still is the one we got 15 seconds ago from @Carl_Gustav_Jung

:-P

Poor guy’s not been the same since his mum bought him that Blackberry. In this day and age, it’s lucky we know many philosophers who communicate without words.

Just when we thought things couldn’t get anymore delirious up in this bermuda shortz party, in steps Jacob Ciocci. He of knowing troll placement. He of Paper Rad. He of Extreme Animals. And now, he of ROTFLOL.

ROTFLOL is one of those profound netzspeak anacronisations meaning, literally, to roll on the floor laughing until one’s posterior falls off. Created by 14 year olds to convey something that was a bit funnier than a LOL, it covertly climbs the ranks of our vocabulary, gathering meaning and getting its hired goons to kick words like ‘bequeath’ out of the dictionary. ROTFLOL is taking over. One may ROTFLOL at this notion, but in the future of our species when we communicate only using animated smileyavatars, ROTFLOL will be one day the equivalent of a Theodor Adorno novel.

ROTFLOL.

ROTFLOL – Lost Inside The Stress Boxes, The Movie

And as we might expect from the unparalleled stream of creativity that is the man behind ROTFLOL, we get the unexpected. ‘Lost inside the stress boxes’ bequeaths us with mind frazzling home-made bounce styles we never even saw before. Skuzzy filters open up the mind and 25 years of 16-colour popular entertainment come pouring in, all at once. We settle in an episode of an 18 frames per second French-Japanese Blade Runner spin-off cartoon series. Riding in an air taxi drawn by a below minimum wage storyboard artist, we travel to a party hosted by a likeness of Harrison Ford drawn with as few lines as possible. He introduces us to his new friends, Bodrax, Thormiester the Great and Telesalavas. We don’t remember these guys from the film, maybe they were created by the animation company so they could stretch the animated series out to 16 episodes. But they are great guys, so we party together til dawn to ROTFOL’s digibeta wobblebass n harmonica dancehall rumpshaker.

‘Rolling on the Floor while Laughing Out Loud’ by ROTFLOL is a compilation of Jacob’s solo work across many years and is our soon on our pal E*Rock’s Audiodregs Recordings. It will also come with a DVD containing some new vids along with classics such as this one. Bonus round!

And just when we thought things couldn’t get anymore delirious up in this Jerry Garcia Tie-Die T-shirt party, in steps No UFO’s.

No Ufo’s – Century Park/Vertigo (edit)

Now here’s a little something for the future. Vancouver’s No Ufo’s sent us a few glowing snippets from his upcoming C30-minute opus ‘Soft Coast’. All samples were of the highest order but we were particularly mesmerised by ‘Century Park’. The styles known as Drone are like so many things in life, very easy to make, but very difficult to master, but No Ufo’s wields control over the astral plane with a skill of a voyager light years above his age and rank. Century Park propels us through the distant dreams of the android conjured by the distant dreams of the creator his techno namesake, a dream from which we three hope we will never awaken. Soft Coast will be available soon on Nice Up Int’l, which is still being built but keep on checkin back’ for info on this and more stuff happening with other pals.
