Rhythm Method: The Go! Team "Junior Kickstart"

A running themed video with a song that reaches almost Rocky-like heights of triumphant inspiration, why wouldn't this be a rhythm method contender? The Go! Team, from England, takes the aesthetic of your uncle Leon building a robot in the garage out of bits and pieces he finds on those weekend excursions when he goes, as your mother would say, "Gawd knows where?", all the while listening to old cassette tape mixes blasting out of the beat up speakers of a boombox he used to sling over his shoulder when he went, as his mother used to say, "Gawd knows where?", in those halcyon nights of his youth. It's odd how much of uncle Leon's life seems to be unaccounted for...every time in the past, when asked about where he learned his robot building skill, he leans back in his chair, clasps his hands behind his head, and with a shark fin grin, he simply says "NASA". If you like the song Junior Kickstart you can find lots more peppy goodness on their debut full length Thunder, Lightning, Strike album from which this track came from.

  1. I'm kind of bummed that they caught Ms. Pacman at the end.

  2. Agreed. That was a big let down. They totally should have had Ms. Pacman chomp on a power pill and chase down the ghosties...
