++ Top 5 Tumblr Sites: The world can now be divided into roughly two groups: (1) the Tumblrs and (2) those who neither know nor care who or what Tumblr is. For the latter (just in case you do care secretly), Tumblr is a Twitter/blog hybrid format which enables easy sharing of the things you love (created by you or by someone else) with your followers, nay, the world! We rather like Tumblr. It embodies the spirit of bottom-up, collaborative, digital creativity which has come to define web content production and distribution. Huzzah!

We present you with the labor of love that is the video for "When I Am King" by Dutch indie rocker Tim Knol.

Produced by our brand-new hot sister >YellowSubmarine.
