The Vine Compilation to End All Vine Compilations

Move ovah, BatDad. This is an #UltraVine.



The clip mashup plays over Crystals (Federico Scavo Radio Edit) by DANK (feat. JACQ) and is the "first ever music video made completely of Vines," so says Astronauts Wanted, the main producer and platform for this #UltraVine. The site is actually the newest project of ex-MTV President, Judy McGrath, and Sony Entertainment. While the millenial-focused site is still in beta, they're already off to a good start with a Vine-first under their belt. More on Astronauts Wanted here.

Living Paper Dresses by Jule Waibel

German designer Jule Waibel is creating 25 paper dresses for 25 cities (24, though there will be 2 in London) for global retailer Bershka as part of project, "Entfaltung."



Each dress is hand folded, giving it a life-like sensibility when worn as the paper opens and closes - appropriate since "entfaltung" means to unfold in German. The multi-city exhibition of the dresses begins January 2014 in numerous Bershka flagship stores including Madrid, Paris and Istanbul to name a few.





More deets after the jump.

Spotify YouTube with a Chrome Extension

Yes. You can now "spotify" music videos on YouTube with a Chrome extension called Streamus.



Streamus lets you instantly play and bookmark videos directly in your Chrome browser while you continue your web browsing business. Interestingly enough, YouTube is set to launch an on-demand music streaming service in the near future, per Billboard.

Why is this a Thing? After installing the extension, type "streamus" + Tab + song name + Enter = the song starts playing in your browser instantly and seamlessly.

Best case scenario: You have a song stuck in your head and you need instant gratification. Keyword, instant.

No more closing out "Wrecking Ball" by accident for the umph time!
