Awesome

Well, it's Friday, and I've been wanting to link to this forever.

Credit where due, to Pitchfork for this quote:
The skimpy budgets of artists with no chance at MTV airplay have been a windfall for DIY animators, who are granted free reign to whip up a hopefully viral video without having to deal with actual people. Joel Trussel achieved high communicability with this cartoon, which resembles a lost outtake from Yellow Submarine. Just like Forrest with his music, Trussel throws everything indisputably awesome-- Vikings, roadies, robots, guitar battles, marching bands, Polaroids-- into four minutes, and the simple pleasure of image/sound synchrony does the rest.

Crank this baby up. It's War Photographer.
