New Slang / The Shins (2001)
In spite of turning up on the Garden State Soundtrack, I remain rather taken with the New Slang.
Stupid Girl / Garbage (1996)
It had been a while since I’d properly listened to any Garbage and I’d forgotten just how catchy some of their early work was. Fortunately, Stupid Girl happened to show up during some of my weekly Top of the Pops viewing and prodded enough tired memories to the surface that I now know what I’ll be listening to this afternoon.

Night of the Mini Dead (Love, Death & Robots)
This is a funky little thing – Night of the Mini Dead, from Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots.

The uploader looks to have chopped it into two parts, though neither part is excessively long.

Part Two
And The Now Obligatory VFX Breakdown
There’s also a nifty VFX breakdown showing how the majority of the piece is actually augmented stock photography overlaid with GCI and with a tilt-shift effect applied.

It also turns out that the North Yorkshire Moors Railway has a lovely 3D tour of 5428.
