Hillsdale Public Library Jingles

Wednesday, May 19, 2010 |



Little kids singing a cappella about the joys of a public library? I think I'll take a listen. Forget Justin Bieber, these kids are the future of music. One edited popping verse at a time.



...and they got VileViral™ favorite Dan Barcan singing a song too?! These Hillsdale Public Library people are geniuses, I say. Geniuses.

Stigs covers "Last Caress" by the Misfits

Tuesday, May 18, 2010 |



When I hear Glenn Danzig and the Misfits sing this song, I hear a fun and campy horror punk ode to 1950's pop. However, when "Stigs" sings this song, like the demented Tom Jones he is, I do not hear fun and camp. I hear malicious intent and primal fear. I am legitimately frightened. But... I can't turn it off.

Dan Barcan- "A Movie Proposal To Eddie and Charlie Murphy"

Saturday, May 15, 2010 |



Dan Barcan is a comedic and musical genius who hails from Hillsdale, New Jersey. He films his movies using iMovie, usually talking place in a public library or an Apple store. As of today, his YouTube account has about 260 videos, which stem from tributes to Paul McCartney, Prince, Sly Stone and countless others, impersonations of everyone from President John Adams to Scarface, and even social commentary, with Mr. Barcan offering some important information on the mysterious illness with plagued many bats in the Northeastern United States. He calls his brand of humor "Stream of Conscious Comedy" which has resulted in many moments of absurdist genius. Since Dan Barcan has so many videos available, and in so many different styles, it was impossible for me to pick just one, but I believe this recent proposal to the Murphy brothers, Chris Rock, and Judge Reinhold to star in a new movie alongside Dan, as well as a musical tribute to the Mets' Ike Davis make this video a great introduction to Dan Barcan's talents. You can listen to his music and read some socio-political commentary on his MySpace, which you can get to here. I recommend listening to his song "Promises."
