To Those who may Not Know Boards of Canada are a Scottish Electronic Duo consisting of Brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin. The Band formed initially as a Group in 1986 before becoming a Duo in the 1990s.  Boards Of Canada Signed First to SKAM Records and then They were signed by Warp Records Back in the 1990s. The Duo received Recognition After Releasing Their Debut Album Music Has The Right Children in 1998. They followed Their Debut Album with the Critically Acclaimed Albums Geogaddi (2002), The Campfire Headphone (2005) and Tomorrow’s Harvest  (2013). “One of the Best Known and Loved Electronic  Musical Acts of the Last Two Decades.” by Music Critics.

       

The Duo’s work is Largely Influenced by Outdated Media and the Electronic Music of the 1970s which Incorporates Vintage Synthesizers,Sampling, Hip Hop inspired Beats, and Analog Equipment. Analog Equipment is a Combination of Both Analog Machine and Analog Media that can together Measure, Record, Reproduce, Receive or Broadcast Continuous Information.  Their Music has been Described as Exploring Themes related to Nostalgia as well as Childhood Memories, Science, Environmentalism, and Esoteric Subjects. Esoteric Subjects pertain to Extremely Unusual and Understood, or liked by Only a Small Number of People Especially those with Special Knowledge.

       

When it comes to Locus Toybox the Artist says it Best in Their Own Words: “My name is David Firth, I make all sorts of things like cartoons and pictures and music. This is my main solo music project. I start up different projects all the time, but this is one I keep coming back to. It’s a mixture of real instruments, samples and synth. I try and keep it as organic sounding as possible. I don’t know if you can dance to Locust Toybox, but you’re welcome to try.”

Description by David Firth: Salad Fingers is 20 years old so here is a special episode revisiting where it all began. In the original 2004 style.

SOCK SIX

Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring SOCK 6 by David Firth and is One of His Longer Videos with a Runtime of 16 Minutes 51 Seconds. For those Who are Unaware David Firth is an English Animator, Director, Writer, Musician, Actor, Voice Actor, Video Artist, Broadcaster, and Creator of the Now Legendary SALAD FINGERS. The Word NIGHTMARE is used most often to Describe Firth’s body of Work and Why We are such Diehard Fans of His work. Several of Firth’s works in Flash Animation, along with Multiple Music Videos and Works of Video Art, have garnered a Large (and Ever Growing) Followings Over the Years.

Now Our Favorite David Firth Animation(s) is His SALAD FINGERS Series that is Until We watched SOCK 6 which fucking Instantly became Our new Firth Favorite. SOCK 6 ramps up the fucking Creep Factor taking it to a whole New fucking Level even for Firth and We think that’s P{pretty fucking Awesome. SOCK 6 takes Place in a Stark Post Apocalyptic Wasteland that Remind Us of the Old Stock Footage of Nuclear Bomb Test Sites from the 1950s. In the 1950s the American Military for some Reason would Construct Mock Towns Populated by Mannequins, and then Nuke the Holy Hell out of Them. Why the fuck would They go through All that Trouble Staging a Bomb Site, but Who fucking Knows what the fuck They were Thinking. The Story follows a Scievy  Nameless Main Character (Who looks like Your Garden Variety Meth Addict) Starting in a Grimy Cafe/Diner with a Cook that’s a Mass of fucking Tentacles Named Allen. As far as We’re Concerned Allen is a Interdimensional Entity that’s a Cross Between the Kracken and Cthulhu and Accesses Our Dimension via a Portal that looks like a Food Service Window at a  fucking Medival Times Restaurant.

From the Cafe The Main Character travels with a pair of Ghoulish looking Twins in a Car ride that can Only be Described as Hellish. The Woods are filled with Smoke, People Burning, People Melting Under the Intense Heat, Dying, and Some are Being Tortured. Then Arguably the Most Demented Part of the Video Occurs as the Main Character Engages in Beastiality with a Talking Female Cow. After fucking the Cow the Main Character Forces the Cow to Play a Childish Game with Dire Consequences. That’s when the Police get involved, Arrest, and Imprison the Main Character in in what Looks like a Solitary Confinement Cell in a Stank Basement Dungeon. Then the Main Character asks a Strange Woman Survey Questions about Pissing, Shitting, Suicide, and Sex while She is on the Toilet.

And Well That’s All We have to Say So On to SOCK 6!

Description: This is Sock Six, a story about a man and his special Genetical and bovine adventures.

The Animated Series Chronicles the Daily Life of an Eccentric Middle Aged Asshole called Not Stanley who Lives in the City. Not Stanley can Best be Described as Combative, Fast Talking, Abrasive, Cantankerous, Overtly Aggressive, and  Foul Mouthed.  Not Stanley Spends His Days running the Streets Hurling Insults, Arguing with His Elderly Mother, Talking Shit, Picking Fights, Bitching and Complaining Neurotically, Making Threats, and Ranting about Everything in His Life that Pisses Him, and Occasionally Murdering People.

Videos Below in Chronological Order:

  • Not Stanley | I Am Not A Serial Killer
  • Not Stanley | The Supermarket Is To Expensive
  • Not Stanley | Ain’t Got Shit
  • Not Stanley – The Last Episode

FINAL EPISODE IN THE CREATOR’S OWN WORDS: “Recorded July 2010 (the same session as all the other episodes) So here it is. The last of all the Not Stanley content. An extra long final episode using all the bits that I didn’t use before. This is both a prequel and a sequel since the part at the start in the shop was the first thing I recorded and gives context to later episodes in which he says things like “I went BACK down to the system office” and the part at the end was the last thing I recorded. I stuck it all together in a big lump and finally got around to animating it. It looks a bit nicer in HD I think.” David Firth

Salad Finger – Market

Welcome to this Week’s Cure for Monday featuring SALAD FINGERS – MARKET By the One and Only David Firth. This is the Latest Installment in the Ongoing SALAD FINGERS Saga (The Entire Series is Posted Here for Your Connivence).

Six Months ago Firth Posted “SALAD FINGERS AND THE LOCAL TEACUP” which was a Deviation from SALAD FINGERS Animated Format, and was instead Stop Motion Using a Plush Salad Fingers Doll.  Now with SALAD FINGERS – Market it feels Nostalgic in many ways to the Early Days of  the Classic SALAD FINGERS with Short Run Time, The Absence of Overarching Storyline, and Choppier Animation. To put it Simply SALAD FINGERS – MARKET returns the Series to its Original Nature as a Creepily Disturbing land Simple Animated Series. The Cherry onto of this Surreal Sunday is the Return of the Character HUBERT CUMBERLAND!

Plot: Salad Fingers runs His own Market Stall but has some Issues with a Thirsty Local and the Surrounding Wildlife.

I’d Like To Be…

The thing that swayed me into giving Les a helping hand with FYB was the Strange and Disturbing Videos especially the Dark Web Videos. There is something about the intoxicating insanity of Dark Web videos that make them particularly appealing. Be it the Grim and Gritty Footage, Schizophrenic visuals, unnervingly sinister content, troubling subject matter, over all feeling of dread, and the almost sickening sound tracks that make your ears damn near bleed. Dark Web videos grab a hold of you with gleeful abandon, and happily skip with you hand in hand down the prim rose path straight to the deepest depths of hell. It sounds like torture I know, but I find it blissfully beautiful like the dreams of insane children.

That is why I am pleased to present I’d Like To Be… by David Firth one of FYB’s favorite artists.

                   

For those who are unaware David Firth is an English Animator, Director, Writer, Musician, Actor, Voice Actor, Video Artist, and Broadcaster of whom we are a big fans of of here at FYB.

The Artist in His Own Words:

“Back in 2005 I tried to make a stop-frame short with a narrative and voices and stuff but grew bored after shooting about 80% of it, and so left it to get mouldy. Looking at it recently, I was still quite unhappy, so I jumbled it up with some other stopframe bits I’d similarly discarded, mangled up the voices and edited it to some lovely music.” -David Firth-
