Sony’s QRIO robot can dance, react to people, and get up when it falls on its ass. Sony’s goal: a personal entertainer. Beck’s goal: the coolest music video ever. VH1 reports:
There are only four working QRIOs in the world. And all of them appear in the “Hell Yes” video … Director Garth Jennings says, “They have such an unbelievably fluid range of motions, so Beck and I just had to work out an elaborately choreographed number for them. I think it took the programmers in Japan about three weeks to program the routine into each robot.”
We haven’t been able to track it down, but it’s said to be already airing on MTVDeux. If you’ve got stream, send our way. Here’s footage of the dance moves you can expect.
In the meantime, hit up this MP3 blog for Boards Of Canada’s contribution to the forthcoming Guerlito remix LP.

I think scott meant to link to something like this:

That’s a much better link, thanks Jim.
the qrios should team up to battle this amoebot:

Not nearly as cool as dancing robots, but you can watch Weezer’s new video for “Perfect Situation” starring Elisha Cuthbert here:

I caught the video on the duece last night, and it’s fucking hot. It’s worth catchin on the tube just to see the full clarity. Those robots have got some moves.
just what we need…more beck remixes.
The Weezer video is lame, but I would still most likely have sexual relations with Ms. Cuthbert
Beck is a scientologist, so I have to boycott him. That cult traps people, takes their money and ruins there life if they try to get away (or stay for that matter).
If you are in the New York City area, the show “New York Noise” plays Beck’s “Hell Yes” video quite a lot.
Boycott Beck: are you always boycotting Isaac Hayes?
Doog: Shoutout to NYNoise indeed.
nobody has a link to the video online?
yep, nobody?
honest to god i think i’m going to cry when i see that video.
somebody should capture it from MTV2
New York Noise plays the older beck video. The ones sans awesome dancing robot.
Though MTV2 will be playing it every hour on the hour on Monday, starting at like 7am or something like that.
As you’ll see from my blog, I’m desperately trying to track this video down.
Desperately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Isaac Hayes has nothing to boycott, I will not give up my theme to Shaft. Dave Davies is also a cultologist which is too bad because I like Ray Davies and the Kinks. Of course I boycott Tom Cruise because he acts like William Shatner, has man boobs, and is a gay guy without the pride to admit it.
All i can say is wow

all i can say is mov
uggghhhh I have to register to see this video?
I think I’ll pass.
And I’ll send the “Where’s the mov version?”
Windows Media? Real?! I definitely don’t think so.
Well, Ed, you sure showed them.
