Alex Gorosh has this great project, WordWorms, which features music videos of cartoons found in the public domain.  I really enjoyed Alex’s special brand of hip-hop influenced music and lyrics.  The first video I saw was It’s a Pup Dog! which “explores the joy of owning a puppy.  It stars a group of animal rights activist gnomes that live in the wallpaper.” 

I tried doing something like this with my band.  I put our music to footage of a Popeye cartoon.  Yeah, it didn’t work out so hot.

Keep up the good work, Alex.  Check out wordworms for more videos, or go to Alex’s personal site.

This guy goes his own way and it’s a good thing he does. His way is awesome!
