Naptime. 1:25 min., color, sound, 2002. By Cory Arcangel. Ubuweb's description:

The visuals were made first, and then the music added at the end by Paul B. Davis.

I'm not sure where the image of Mario sleeping comes from — it doesn't quite have the "actual Nintendo-sanctioned game" look — but he's dreaming a load of glitchiness not far from Arcangel's Video Ravingz. Unlike that reprogrammed game, though this one — if it is indeed a reprogrammed game, since Arcangel's site lacks a page about it — the soundtrack doesn't seem to be a beloved 80s hit. Beyond that, ain't much to say.

Also in the seventh, Mike Aviles hit his second solo homer in two days from the leadoff spot. He moved there for the first time this season on Saturday when Jacoby Ellsbury went on the 15-day disabled list with a partially separated right shoulder.
