Robots!!

There's a really cool animated short featuring original music by The Flaming Lips, featuring robots and other various creatures getting together to paint and stuff. Apparently, it's for some short film contest Coke is sponsoring but, thankfully, the beverage makes no appearance in the film. To get to the film, click "English" and then click on the third tab from the top (it should say "Coca-Cola M5" when you roll your mouse over it).

Plus, if your craving for robots hasn't been satisfied, Beck's new video for "Hell Yes" is now up for streaming on his website. It features four Sony QRIO robots doing elaborate dance moves, which apparently took three weeks to program into the robots. Alright, Beck; we get it. You obviously want a video music award really bad, and weren't able to get Christopher Walken. It happens, man.

Since I always give credit where credit is due, thanks Stereogum.

UPDATE: Now even Coldplay's gotten into the act. Their new video "Talk" (viewable from their website) features more giant robot action!
