Video Round-Up is a weekly post collecting an assortment of videos from around the web. Whether they be music videos, creative viral marketing, just plain cool, or just plain ridiculous, they will all be found on Video Round-Up.
This week's videos are more eccentric than normal, which is to say, they are extremely very double zany. Some good music, some nonsense, and a the premiere of VH1's Mr. Sprinkles on Cerebral Pop. You'll likely get the whole eight-episode series here, so keep up! (Thanks to Alex for contributing some blurbs.)
Enter Mr. Sprinkles, a Seussian character in the real world. As short as the episodes are, you may get attached the characters unexpectedly.
Paper Chase is a band that I am excited to get to know. Here's Alex: A live rendition of a song from one of my favorite bands that I am glad I was there to witness. Paper Chase chose to completely remove large instrumental parts of the song You Will Never Take Me Alive and instead beat on metal pipes. Every member had a pipe or two and John Congleton sang and played guitar over top. It sounded amazing.
I love this. I love Dadaism when there's noticeable effort and artistry in it, and here is a great example of that. I couldn't imagine crafting this myself (the video editor also apparently composed the music!), and that's why I appreciate it. Seriously, what?
Alex: The best part about Atom and his Package, was that he was always right. About everything. Here's a live video of him doing a set for some festival in 08. Guess you can't really call it a reunion if it's only one guy. Why don't we use the Metric system?
Lost is my favorite show on television. So maybe I'm biased about this video...hmm... nope, this is hilarious. I hear Edward Hill (the singer) was actually famous for this weirdness.

Hey! I think I can see my head in that Paper Chase video! I'm famous! Actually, if I remember correctly, he pointed at me when he said "Do you know what it means to be doomed?" So I'm somewhere around there.
Man, I love Mr. Sprinkles. I don't get your Lost thing though. Must be something only you Lost cultists understand.
Haha, I... guess I should've known it doesn't make sense without context.
The short version is this: the two guys find an underground lab on the island. Then they find videos. They are instructional videos from the 70s about how to operate the lab (though here a gibberish song is superimposed). At that point in the show, finding science labs underground on the island was very MyStErIoUs OoOoOo!
