Kanye West and Takashi Murakami Wish You Good Morning
If you were unable to sleep last night because your brain refused to stop singing “Indiana Jones / Lookin’ for some stones!” consider the above video a cleanser, like pickled ginger or a brain enema. It’s wack-o artist Takashi Murakami’s video for Kanye West’s “Good Morning;” while it’s pretty straight-forward?a bear who drives the Delorean from Back to the Future tries to get to his hip-hop graduation?there’s still plenty of room for Murakamai’s trademark mushrooms and a whole lot of other insanity. Plus, it might just get a certain terrible, terrible song out of your head. (Via Japanator)
