Don't you just love the personal touches in Google Chrome commercials? They could make technology blend so seamlessly into normal, everyday life and still find ways to improve the way we communicate with our loved ones -- especially through distance and time.
Watch some of their commercials below (it gets me every time):
Today, Bob Dylan unveiled the music video for his first song on his new album. It’s pretty exciting stuff right here for all Dylan fans. Not only is his material brand new, but it’s totally Dylan, even if it doesn’t sound or look like him.
Duquesne Whistle sounds like it was written in the 30’s, rising out of the Depression with its lively beats and full of hope and optimism. But of course, listening to his lyrics, you’ll realize it’s more than about the thrill of life. It’s about moving forward, getting to that unknown destination.
Like the song the music video is full of dichotomy. There is the old time sound with it’s youthful melody; the video has the sweet innocence of love and then contradicting it with pain and anger; old Dylan walking with his entourage at night and the young romantic walking by himself at day looking for his love. Even though Duquesne Whistle sounds outdated upon hearing, it couldn’t be more modern and relevant to our culture today. Perhaps this is about falling in love and falling so hard you’re willing to endure anything – even pain – to be with them. Perhaps this song is about chasing that something and going anywhere to get there.
Or perhaps Bob Dylan believes it’s better to not be foolishly in love and to remain cool and detached from the emotion completely – untouched by anything.
You know those couples who seem too perfect for eachother? You know, those couples who finish eachother’s sentences and can be extraordinarily silly together that it freaks their friends out whenever they’re on a double date. That couple is Celeste and Jesse, played by Rashida Jones and Andy Samburg. The movie is about how they are more than a couple… they’re best friends, and that’s the most special thing to have in a relationship.
