I learned a new term this morning: glitch aesthetics. (Odd images!)

Spotted via boingboing.

(Only 1081 back items in my RSS feed! Another week and I’ll have caught up from We Robot.)

This Babymetal video is the strangest thing I’ve seen online this year (excluding Republican debates):

JPop crossed with death metal, plus a dollop of religious cultural appropriation. Spotted via Cory Doctorow, Babymetal, live on Colbert! in which he describes Babymetal as “Japan’s greatest synthetic all-woman heavy metal band.” I am prepared to believe it.

There’s also an official version of the video that is odd in different ways.
