Another installment in adverb.’s continuing series of non-traditional / independent / guerrilla art.

From leased ferrari:

Rubikcubsim is a 21st century art form based on creating images through the use of Rubik’s Cubes. This was first done by the iconic street artist, Invader. Better known as Space Invader, who’s pieces are plastered in cities worldwide. The show is called Top 10, and it looks to me like its a bunch of famus album covers from the past. The first piece in the video is The Beatles album cover from, Abbey Road. The second is the album London Calling by The Clash.

More from the worldwide reaction to Michael Jackson’s sudden passing.  Excerpts from the NY Times: President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela called the star’s death “lamentable news,” though he criticized the media for giving it so much attention. Former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, who had met Mr. Jackson, said: “We lost a hero of the world.” In Paris, fans planned a memorial moonwalk at the Eiffel Tower for Sunday, and a ceremony in his honor is to be held at the 13th-century Notre Dame cathedral Friday night. Fans lit candles at a spontaneous gathering in Hong Kong, while in the Philippines, a dance tribute was planned for a prison in Cebu, where Byron Garcia, a security consultant, had 1,500 inmates join in a synchronized dance to the “Thriller” video… Fans in London were expected to convene at 6 p.m. on Friday at Leicester Square to dance and sing to Mr. Jackson’s greatest hits. At Glastonbury, where hundreds are currently camping in the fields for the annual rock festival in the southwest of England, the news of Mr. Jackson’s death spread quickly and people began sporadically playing his songs at food stalls and in tents. Many bands are expected to play tribute to the singer when they perform… In Italy, Friday’s papers carried front-page tributes to the “King of Pop.” La Repubblica called the trajectory of Mr. Jackson’s life “a fairy tale that turned into a nightmare.” Readers sent in notes of thanks, grief and disbelief to the Web site of the newspaper Corriere della Sera. *Michael

Another installment in adverb.’s continuing series of things we wish we patented. Patent number 5255452, filed in 1992, shows how Michael Jackson and his dancers could lean at 45-degree angles during live performances of the song “Smooth Criminal”. Here’s the video for “Smooth Criminal.”  Fast-forward to 6:30 for the beginning of the big dance scene.  The gravity-defying lean comes at 7:15. UPDATE: I can’t mention “Smooth Criminal” without linking to the awesome cover by Alien Ant Farm. Michael and I saw them perform this live at 104 Fest circa 2001. *Patrick

“Kids” - Weezer (MGMT cover)

Occasionally Rivers Cuomo reminds us that he can do cool things.

Also, Youtube turned up dozens of other “Kids” covers.  Here’s one by The Kooks. And another one here by some teenage cello players. And finally, here’s a good one from some band called Melpo Mene.
