Our favorite (and fellow) space cadets Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon of the world famous N.A.S.A. crew, strike again with yet another mouth watering music video with “Strange Enough” from their debut album The Spirit of Apollo.

“Strange Enough” features the stylings of three musical geniuses with Wu Tang’s late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and Fatlip (The Pharcyde) as well as the death defying art of Stephan Doitschinoff brought to life by Lorna T and Studio Giblets and once again guided to completion by creative director Syd Garon and producer by Susan Applegate.

Another new mesmerizing music video from my N.A.S.A. homeboys (Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon) as they unleash the Kool Keith/Tom Waits collabo “Spacious Thoughts” from their debut banger, The Spirit of Apollo. One of many original art-meets-animation music videos spawned from the N.A.S.A. project, “Spacious Thoughts” is directed, designed and animated by Fluorescent Hill and once again guided by the steady hands of creative director Syd Garon and producer by Susan Applegate.

Following yesterday’s post on his big brother’s latest Wild Things trailer, globe trotting DJ Squeak E. Clean makes a quick pit stop home as the N.A.S.A. crew lands in L.A. tomorrow night with DJ Zegon, Fatlip (The Pharcyde) and some very special guests. The Intergalactic Circus will be celebrating their album’s (The Spirit of Apollo) triumphant on-going world tour and rocking The El Rey on Wilshire all night long.

Also you can grab your N.A.S.A. gear at the online shop right here, including their t-shirt rendition of Tribe’s Midnight Marauders classic cover which features all the artists featured on The Spirit of Apollo. Here’s me flaunting mine with N.A.S.A. guest star the RZA at the Rock the Bells show last weekend!

In keeping up with the (Spike) Jonzes following yesterday’s Wild Things post, here today is Spike’s younger brother Squeak E. Clean repping the N.A.S.A. crew with their latest music video-“Whachadoin?” featuring Spank Rock, M.I.A., Santigold, and the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Nick Zinner. Following Sam and Syd Garon’s vision of a series of collaborative music videos making up the visual side of their debut album The Spirit of Apollo and inspired by a multitude of talented artists (Shepard Fairey, Marcel Dzama, Sage Vaughn, The Date Farmers with Logan), “Whachadoin?” stays true to form and is wildly animated and directed by Argetinian’s Jorge Jaramillo and Jimena Oddi.

Check out the trailer I cut for the N.A.S.A. homies below and see how the current version of “Whachadoin?” progressed from it’s early stages around the 2:30 mark:
