So there’s this Japanese band that we like, ‘World Order‘. It’s… complicated. I mean, their lead singer has the improbable name of Genki Sudo (cue xkcd link), they perform slow-motion-realtime synchronized dances with amazing choreography while wearing suits. Random screen cap:

It’s … unique. Try ‘Machine Civilization‘ to start with.

Their latest bears the pitch-black title of “Let’s Start WW3” and features auto-tuned Trump (from his inaugural speech maybe?) and some godlike subtext involving the bronzed pig from the Seattle market.

Like I said, unique. Enjoy.

Poor mans’ Corum Golden Bridge

‘Atto Verticale TO/03‘, $352.80. A very unusual baguette movement that was clearly inspired by the Corum:

I’m not a fan of Corum, but for the Golden Bridge I’m happy to make an exception. (Though it’s $$$; out of my budget). The Atto Verticale is interesting, though I’m not sure how much I’d enjoy it after the new wore off. Nice to see some new ideas out there regardless. They sell it in round and rectangular cases, anodized aluminum, different colors for a nice and unusual look.
