What is Extreme Ways by Moby?
“Extreme Ways” is a song by American electronica musician Moby. It was released as the second single from his sixth studio album 18 on June 24, 2002.
The track is used at the conclusion of all five Bourne films. New versions of the song were recorded for the third, fourth, and fifth films of the series: The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bourne Legacy, and Jason Bourne respectively.
“Extreme Ways” samples the string notes from Hugo Winterhalter’s cover of “Everybody’s Talkin’”, and the drum beats of Melvin Bliss’s “Synthetic Substitution”.
A video was made for the song, directed by Wayne Isham, which was later included on Moby’s 18 B Sides + DVD compilation and the Bourne Identity “Explosive Extended Edition” DVD.
For the first two Bourne films in the series, The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, the original version of the song was used during the closing credits.
For the third film in the series, The Bourne Ultimatum, a new version, “Extreme Ways (Bourne’s Ultimatum)”, was recorded and released both on that film’s soundtrack on July 31, 2007, and as a one-track CD single on September 17, 2007.
For the fourth film in the series, The Bourne Legacy, another version, “Extreme Ways (Bourne’s Legacy)”, was recorded and released on that film’s soundtrack on August 7, 2012. This version was recorded partly at Moby’s home studio in Los Angeles and partly at Sony Pictures Studios. At Sony, Moby worked with a 110-piece orchestra with the help of composer James Newton Howard, who scored the film, and composer Joseph Trapanese. In addition to the lyrical track, the group also recorded a purely orchestral version of the song. Both versions were released as singles for digital download on July 31, 2012.
For the fifth film in the series, Jason Bourne, Moby recorded another version, “Extreme Ways (Jason Bourne)”, that was released on that film’s soundtrack on July 29, 2016.

![The Bizarre Genius of Michael Cusack
This is my video highlighting Michael Cusacks bizarre but wonderful animation comedies from YOLO, Damo and Darren to Smiling Friends and YOLO Crystal Fantasy. Works that can be said to illustrate his incredible talent for a surreal style of comedy in an animated format.
While only a few handful of animators take the potential of their craft to the absolute limits, you can clearly tell that Cusack’s work is one of them. His work is so bizarre and surreal that you’d easily be forgiven for thinking it’s come from an absolute insane madman.
But even if it’s not your kind of humour, at least his animation is different.
This is my video explaining why.

Who is Michael Cusack?
Michael Cusack is a 26-year-old Australian animator known for making comedic cartoons online. He is best known for “YOLO” and “Damo and Darren” which combined have had over 17 million views.
YOLO, a 2-minute parody of girls’ nights out, went viral when Cusack first uploaded it back in 2012. It currently has more than 8 million views, and caught the eye of Rick & Morty co-creator Justin Roiland. He’d go on to approach Cusack to create an April Fools special for the Adult Swim series.
The resulting short, Bushworld Adventures, sees Rick and Morty take a roadtrip from Wollongong (where Cusack is from) to Bendigo. The animator had complete freedom to take the episode where he wanted.
He also created Smiling Friends which is a 2020 animated pilot created by Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack for [adult swim]. It premiered on April 1st, 2020 during Adult Swims 2020 April Fools Day schedule. Adult Swim has also picked up the animated comedy series “YOLO: Crystal Fantasy” from him.
The series, which will premiere later this year, follows Australian party girls Sarah and Rachel as they are looking for fun times, new experiences, positive vibes, and hopeful horoscopes in the bizarre town of Wollongong. Sarah’s quest is to find love, whereas Rachel hungers for chaos, often bringing them into conflict as they encounter surreal Australiana, strange bush creatures, and eccentric nomads.
Cusack’s viral YouTube hit “Ciggy Butt Brain” caught the eye of “Rick and Morty’s” Justin Roiland who later asked him to create an Australian version of “Rick and Morty,” which led to the animated project “Bushworld Adventures.” The 11-minute special infamously aired on Adult Swim on April Fools Day in 2018, one year after the surprise premiere of “Rick and Morty” Season 3.
