One of the perks of making dreamy, hazy music is that it lends itself to wacky music videos. The Adult Swim-produced video for Neon Indian’s oozy synth track “Fallout” is a gorgeous, nearly-NSFW mashup of 80′s car cartoons and boobs.
Adult Swim is having an app sale in celebration of the 4th of July, America and freedom. This includes Amateur Surgeon, Meowcenaries, Robot Unicorn Attack and more. Because nothing says patriotic like Robot Unicorns that poop rainbows. $1.19 from iTunes.
[Just checked this and while it isn't available on the Australian App Store, if you can get it from the US Store the app works. Can't tell if some things are missing, but there is a good collection of both full episodes and clips to choose from. -ed]

A new Adult Swim show entitled “Fat Guy Stuck on the Internet” is coming, and you should be excited about it. Featuring actual actors in front of a green screen, it’s a step away from the standard, you know, animated fare on Cartoon Network’s stoner block. However, the premise, that a “rock and roll computer programmer” gets stuck in the Internet, gets chased by a mustachioed bounty hunter named Chains, and completes a quest that references basically every sci-fi movie ever.
It’s based on a Web series called “Gemberling,” so if this sounds intriguing be sure to check out the originals. The original series has such guest stars as Rob Corddry from the Daily Show, Rob Heubel and Paul Scheer from Human Giant, and MC Chris from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, so it’s a bit better than your standard YouTube “comedies.” The originals are what resulted when a couple of comedians from UCB bought a green screen on eBay and taught themselves how to use it, so expect the Adult Swim version to be a bit more polished, but there’s definitely a certain charm about the no-budget versions out there now. Check ‘em out before the Cartoon Network yanks them. –Adam Frucci
