Pogo Is Back, This Time With UP!

There may come a time when I don’t become totally obsessed with songs like this. That time is not now.

Everybody’s favorite youtube mashup movie recontextualization artist is back (say that ten times fast), and it’s been worth the wait. You may remember Pogo from his brilliant cutups of Alice and Wonderland that were all over the interwebs a year or so back. This time around, the subject of his splicing and dicing is Pixar’s UP, a lovely little flick about a boy, an old man, and a bunch of balloons.

The music really speaks for itself here – it’s busy but not overly so, tied to the movie yet independent. Like “Alice” and “Lost,” it recalls the best characters of a fun movie without making them into caricatures. I could (and will) listen to this on repeat for hours.

Pogo – Upular (YSI)

If you have time, check out the YouTube video below for the song, as it adds a lot to the song. And to refresh your memory, some of Pogo’s earlier hits are below.
