post the last youtube video you watched

[idgiehkt]

or the last myspace page you visited...or anything else interesting like that. Last night some hoodlums pulled into the driveway and shot off a rifle a couple times or something and I'm jumping at every sound right now. Of course it's highly likely they will come back but I am trying to keep my mind occupied...

[idgiehkt]

5. yes

:headbang:

They do a good job, Geddy Lee has a very unique voice. I listened to Tom Sawyer, that is a song I haven't heard in ages. Thanks for posting that. :hi:

Though his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day...

2. From Goodfellas -- the famous tracking shot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgcSlZFGE1A

[idgiehkt]

7. now that's what I call service!

I don't know if I've seen that movie or not...it's not the one where he says 'say hello to my little friend' is it?

:hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

13. You haven't seen Goodfellas?!

It's one of the best movies of the last 25 years! :P

Oh, "Hello, my little friend" is from Scarface.

[idgiehkt]

18. oops

I knew it was one-a them gangsta joints. I like those movies okay except for the violence. lol.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Goodfellas is definitely violent.

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

34. You have to see it, to this day it is hands down my favorite movie ever.

#2 is Caddyshack--go figure.

[Elidor]

25. Goodfellas

http://www.tv-links.co.uk/show.do/4/3264

The whole movie. Streaming. Free.
(Lots of others, too.)

[idgiehkt]

35. wow, thanks

I will probably miss at least half of it covering my eyes when people get shot, but I guess I need to culturate myself. :hi:

[Elidor]

55. It opens with a vicious stabbing

But if you can make it past that, it's a great film.

[plcdude]

88. they need

an adult site like this

[AlCzervik]

10. Excellent.

Billy Batts!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oP1NMB_I0s

still makes me tense.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. "Go get your fuckin' shinebox!"

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

14. he really makes it hard for me to see him as Phil on the Sopranos;

he's Billy and thats that.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. And Michael Imperioli is always Spider, not Christopher.

[AlCzervik]

31. and always getting killed "Why don't you go fuck yourself Tommy" Doh!

god i loves that movie!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. "I'll fucking clean this fucking mess, I don't give a fuck."

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

36. When i get my Daily show tickets i'm coming to visit you and we are so watching

Goodfellas and getting High!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

38. Hell yeah!

When are you coming to NYC? :D

[AlCzervik]

40. i still have to write in for tickets, if i can get 4 do you want to go with us?

it probably wont be for months so there will be plenty of lead time.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

41. Yeah, that'd be great!

:D

[AlCzervik]

43. very good.

:)

[Inchworm]

24. Liotta always freaked me out

do not know why.. Ms. Bracco on the other hand... rawr!

:shrug:

[AlCzervik]

37. that was his best role imo, the only other thing i've seen him and liked was Narc.

[ghostsofgiants]

63. That was actually done with a Steadicam, rather than a dolly.

</film nerd trivia>

Stylistically, I'm not huge on tracking shots, but I can appreciate it on a technical level.

Side note: You're a screenwriter, right? Or am I thinking of someone else?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

66. I did not know that.

:P

I'm an aspiring screenwriter/writer, yes.

[idgiehkt]

71. that's what I thought I remembered

I had my fingers crossed when it said 'tracking shot' in your post that that had something to do with the cameras and not some extra-specially bloody mafia way to kill people, lol.

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

73. LOL, nope, but here's a bit of trivia:

The blood packs attached to actors and remotely detonated in relevant scenes are called "squibs." :D

[ghostsofgiants]

72. Okay, I'm PMing you a quick question, haha.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

74. Got it and replied.

[datasuspect]

85. "get the fuck outta here"

:pals:

[idgiehkt]

16. I know

it was probably that they drove by and saw a deer or something across the pond. I took all four of the dogs over there today and didnt' see any deer prints or anything like that. It was four in the morning too...people are so weird.

I love hearing him talk about these songs. God bless the people that record this stuff and put it on here. I love Neil Young, did you see this:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=6372605&mesg_id=6372605

I don't think that song got posted in here though, that is a great video thanks for posting it. :hi:

[Joe Fields]

21. yes I've seen it, and it's one of my alltime favorites. That video IS

as good as gold. Thanks.:toast:

[idgiehkt]

80. that whole thread is

Neil Young...except I don't think anyone posted old man. I save the links of those threads so if I get in the mood for a certain type of music it is all in one place. :hi:

thank god there is another female rap fan around here. I love that bass drum in the first one. :hi:

[Lethe]

6. if you are a nerd you will adore this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQpbH8iMQDo

Kraftwerk's Der Telafon Anruf.

The inspiration of Mike Meyer's Sprocket's SNL skit. (another Kraftwerk song on the same album was sampled for Sprocket's theme)

I still think it kicks ass. I have the actual mpeg if anyone wants it.

[idgiehkt]

26. wow

I had no idea that that was the inspriration behind "sprockets", lol. yep, it seem familiar to me, I bet i saw it back in the day. Thanks! :hi:

[myrna minx]

89. Thanks for posting this.

That takes me back.

[SeattleGirl]

8. Not a youtube video, but an AOL video:

Queen - Radio Ga-Ga (Live Aid)

http://video.aol.com/video/queen-radio-ga-ga-live-aid/1356354

[idgiehkt]

28. that is amazing

the quality of that video is out of this world. I remember I was a camp counselor that summer when Live Aid took place and I was driving back home and listening to it live on the radio when it was playing, that is a great memory that I had because I had my independence and it was such a great event. :hi:

RIP Freddie

[SeattleGirl]

76. I absolutely love that video.

Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I'll watch it, and feel better.

And yes, RIP Freddie. :hi:

[Omphaloskepsis]

9. Last video I watched...

Alexisonfire - No Transitory

http://youtube.com/watch?v=bpO834GIxuw

[idgiehkt]

29. primate1 sent me some of their songs

I can't remember whether they are alex is on fire or alexis on fire, I've forgotten again, drat.

Great Song! :hi:

[Omphaloskepsis]

50. Alexisonfire...

It is one word... And I saw them a few months ago.. Second best live performance I have ever seen.

[idgiehkt]

54. who is the first?

dammit I want to know if it is alex or alexis that is on fire though, I'm thinking one is a boy and one is a girl but I could be wrong about that...

[Omphaloskepsis]

56. Some info on the name...

"Alexisonfire (pronounced "Alexis on fire," not "Alex is on fire") is named after a stripper's website. Not just any stripper, but a lactating, contortionist stripper named Alexis Fire. The quintet formed in 2001 in St. Catherines, Ontario. After sacrificing online discoverability for a new name, Alexisonfire was forced to select a more generic (but by no means humble) URL: theonlybandever.com."


The best band I have seen live is Propagandhi.. They rock in amazing ways.

[ghostsofgiants]

65. I might finally get to see Alexisonfire this summer.

They're playing a local festival. Hopefully I can pull some strings to get backstage and meet them, haha.

[Ava]

12. my last youtube

30. wow.

Whatever happened to "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", or whatever...

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

48. classic!

[wjwill]

64. Yes indeed

Just about anything with cartman is bound for laughs

[Inchworm]

well I guess I have to now, I commited.

[idgiehkt]

32. lol, great plot twist

:rofl:

stuff like that really redeems youtube...I love the jaws music too! :hi:

[darkstar]

17. Love this Free Design song

And this young lady's interpretation....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKDqMX7Hl_A

[idgiehkt]

39. it is interesting that people do these,

it wouldn't occur to me but I'm not much of a ham, lol.
I've never seen the gilmore girls, that is a nice song! :hi:

I love the Brookers version of 'cell block tango
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0TR0Irx4Y0

[darkstar]

45. And may I add that

you are holding an absolutely delightful clinic on how to host a thread!111!

Just a lovely time!!!

Glad we are keeping you occupied, but even happier the hoods didn't intrude upon you any further.

:yourock: :pals:

[idgiehkt]

53. thank you kindly

I don't really have the 'gift of gab' so to speak but I do like to have my horizons expanded on a regular basis, and I appreciate anything anyone is willing to turn me onto. They fired the shots at 4 a.m. last night so it's not quite their witching hour yet...I know there is very little chance they will come back but I'm...ick, word choice...guy-shy now.

[VenusRising]

23. I hope you are ok.

Stay away from the windows and call the police if they come back. :hug:

Here is the last thing I copied and pasted. I figure you could use it, too.

[idgiehkt]

42. thanks

I'm sure they won't come back it's just nerve-wracking because it is so quiet around here usually and last night was a little different. Thanks for posting that video I have never seen it and I didn't even know that she had done a cover of that song, wow, it's right up her alley though, her songs are almost always compassionate in some way, I think she really has a big heart. Interesting myspace too, I liked that music. The photo didn't come through though there is just a red ex. Thanks for all that. :hug: :hi:

[VenusRising]

49. It was a picture of a kitten pile.

Very cute.

I loved her version of What's Going On? when it came out on her True Colors album. Her vocals are phenomenal.

[idgiehkt]

52. they really are

I clearly expected her to have the level of fame Madonna did and for Madonna to be a one-hit wonder because they came out about the same time, I don't know what happened, but I know she has a very devoted following, everything I've ever heard or seen from her is top notch. And she is a great outspoken liberal too. :)

[VenusRising]

58. My husband and I were talking about that

just today. Cyndi has a far better voice IMO. I've always loved her.

I'm not a huge Madonna fan. But I do like her I'm Breathless Album.

27. Anyone who ever wondered why DEVO got so big needs to see this:

This is them doing "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA" live in concert...
it's worlds away from listening to their albums alone in your room.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UKtZwWLMp8

[idgiehkt]

46. awesome

I have never seen any live footage of them, that is amazing!

:headbang:

wow, they are really good, thanks for posting that. :hi:

and they look so young in this too. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

67. Anyone who actually listens to Devo should know why they got big.

They were fucking great.

[idgiehkt]

70. yeah, but I'm a poser.

:hi:

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

75. And, you know what?

My autistically-sensitive ear tells me that this "live performance"
created about 90 percent of the sounds audible on the LP release of that
song.

The LP release of "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA" is just a studio-tweaked remix
of this particular live performance.

They were clever that way.

[S n o w b a l l]

44. Idgie!

Hope things are ok. :hug:

51. hope you are doing well!

thanks for the well wishes. :hug: I saw one of your beautiful pics in a pic thread but I don't always comment because I don't post 'em so that might be cheating or something, lol.

Wow! I remember this song and haven't heard it in ages. Thanks for posting it, what a blast from the past. :hi:

[S n o w b a l l]

62. what a sweet compliment!

Thank you! But you should say hi regardless, you know. ;) I just love that song and I love your dancing sig pic... the rythm is perfect with that song, did you notice that? lol!

Stay safe & say hi sometime!

57. OMG!!

this is hysterical! Now I know what the fuss is all about...the dancing is too funny. I think Steven Colbert is one of the most talented comedians around today, he is probably unlimited in what he can do. :hi:

speaking of Korean, this is one of the funniest comedy bits I have ever seen, by Margaret Cho

61. illegal aliens vs. predator

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kcprUAq6YQ

Hope this is ok for a first post. If not, I'll remove it.

[idgiehkt]

68. I understand the satire

I think there is an 'alien vs. predator' video around somewhere, I think. However the characters are stereotypes and I would guess this isn't geared at a liberal audience. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make this...it's odd the latino actors would even say things like "I can't wait to get on the welfare" and "I can't wait to steal the car stereo"...not exactly my cup of tea. Of course if it's the last video you watched, it's the last one you watched.

:shrug: :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

69. A few YouTube clips for you...

My friend doing his yo-yo routine at a burlesque show this past weekend:

Arcade Fire doing a great cover of The Clash's "Guns of Brixton"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXuXYeC851c

My favourite non-English song ever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrgjZzuvU8c

[idgiehkt]

78. your friend is awesome

that was a really cool act; if I tried to do that with a yo-yo I'd probably have to have it surgically removed, lol

I like that eastern youth video too, is that just a regular guitar or is it some other kind of instrument?

Nice arcade fire video too...I'm wathing my show (DaVinci's Inquest) so I had to watch these during commercials. Thanks for posting them! :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

79. It's rare that I ever see him without a yo-yo in his hand, haha.

I'm not sure what kind of guitar that is in the Eastern Youth video.

[seemunkee]

90. Your friend did a great job

Let us hope he only uses his talents for good and never for evil.

[idgiehkt]

93. very nice

the original
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMOkfI7wCrI

once again I got lost in the youtube comments...they crack me up every time

On the Postal Service version:

why does everyone keep saying this is emo? This is indie and a little electronica. This is not remotely emo, all emo songs are like "lets kill ourselves with giant knives" and are really depressing.

on Ben Folds version:

Riversrv
wow ummm love the song but leave it to the postal service lol

sickofyourstuff
lol like omg leave it to the less talented band

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SarahB]

95. I love the song and I love Ben Folds, but...

I'd agree that The Postal Service version was way better. Those comments are good! :D

[idgiehkt]

97. youtube comment wars are hysterical

I can waste a lot of time reading them trying to figure out what they are all fussing about if I'm not careful...and no matter how innocuous the song or subject matter there will usually be a flame war going on in the comments somewhere, it makes DU look like the U.N.

he is kind of looking Amanda LePorish...I don't like that look of the catepillar lower lashes though. :hi:

that has to be one of the best songs ever, and I like "Brand New Lover" just as much. Wow, the bare breasts in that video are really provocative...thanks for posting it.

[MissMillie]

96. the bulldog commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtN4GhlOyBw

love it!

[idgiehkt]

99. yes, that one is adorable

I just introduced one of my dogs to the newest family member yesterday, a stray puppy I picked up that is now about 100 pounds. My female seemed to like him just fine, judging by the way she was acting yesterday it appears she might have a bit of a crush on him.

PetSmart is a dangerous place for me to go...I really have to restrain myself in there, I want one of everything, especially the birds. :hi:

That's about as subversive as it comes, lol.

[Random_Australian]

105. If you've seen the matrix, this will be cool.

If you've not, everyone is in a computer world, the brainpower as they move about in this world is bieng used to power the machines, so they want to keep everyone in.

The guys in black are called 'agents' and patrol the matrix (the computer sim) from the inside to stop people getting out.

Anyway, without further ado, 'world record' from the animatrix - a collection of short animated films about people in the matrix.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAClGmkBWkQ

:)

[idgiehkt]

109. whoa

that was heavy and really gripping. by the time it was over I wanted there to be more, lol. Truly amazing animation, especially the part in the race where everything goes red and pink.

:applause:

[Random_Australian]

112. Aye, it's one hell of a gripping vid alright. The whole normal/green/pink

colour scheme thing just messes with your mind further.

And the fact that the guy acheives so much all in that one moment.... truly a great piece of animated film.

[idgiehkt]

117. I have been thinking of this all afternoon

like is the matrix movie some kind 1984-ish type project where they are trying to symbolize the corporatized american experience (could be religion too, of course) only the most astute realize what is going on and they want people to be blind to it and most are; because it is feeding off of everyone and if we wake up it loses it's food source? Somehow I never figured that and didn't think that those movies were that deep but maybe they are; I might go see it if they are.

You know what I just thought of? What if the gov't could get in your computer and have remote access and learn enough about what you enter to totally gather all the information about you and then there would be a big computer on the other end like HAL or something and it would come up with contrived computer-generated personalities for you to talk to...giving them distinct text/speech patterns and regional word choices and age-appropriate slang and all that, and so that you literally could be sitting here like I am now typing to someone who you assumed was a real person on the other end, but who really is just a 'dummy' persona, meanwhile the computer is exploiting you in some way (haven't gotten that far in the storyline yet). Anything is possible.

:hi:

[Random_Australian]

118. Well, not quite yet, but yes, I've been thinking of that lately too. And some other brainfood:

1) What happens to capitalism when about, say, 30% of people don't have any skills to contribute to society, so they cannot get employment? First I thought of this in terms of machines replacing workers, but now the cheap labour thing is kinda making this stuff a reality.

2) What happens when not-real people look better than real people? I mean, with all this internet porn stuff, there are some places where it is harder for women to get boyfriends because.... well... there is a near unlimited amount of porn with 'better looking' women in it. To be precise, the effect is not yet large but it is there.

My main concern is that this effect affects one gender far more than the other, so women more than men will have to sacrifice more to make up the difference. The thought of such gender inequality unsettles me.

Anyway, we live in interesting times.

[idgiehkt]

122. #2 creeped me out because of what it implies

which is that all some men want from women is the sexual experience, which can be gotten through looking at a photo of her. I mean is the experience of being with a woman so non-tactile and so strongly visual that some men don't value the feel and touch of a real woman's body enough to actually want that experience? Because for me there isn't any real gratification in pornography, but I know men are different...I mean when I look at pictures of naked women I think 'she's cute' or 'pretty' or whatever but I never hold a magazine in one hand and etc, you get the picture, like men apparently do. I don't know...Bill Maher says something like 25% of men want to get married or be monogamous and I'm inclined to agree with him, the numbers may not be that small but I think it's less than women.

[Random_Australian]

125. Ah, it's actually more about shutting down responses or heading them off.

When sexually 'saturated' as it were, then the impulse to go out looking for women is much reduced. That's the problem, not anything about the value of women to men.

Furthermore, the visual thing is just about being able to set off the response, NOT "what does a guy want from a woman". There is a difference there. :) Luckily.

Furthermore, the real worries are that

#1) It's just harder to get noticed as good looking when guys see a lot of really good looking women all the time.

#2) There is profit to be made into tricking the guys' body into thinking there is something more than just the 2d image there, fleshlights for example (NSFW).

As in, rather than "that is what guys want from a woman", it's more a question of technology bieng able to simulate the sexual side of women enough that it satisfies a guy's response, meaning that women in turn have to be more sexually aggressive to get noticed. But there is not such thing for guys, meaning the effect is one sided.

[idgiehkt]

130. but if sexual simulation is that fulfilling

then that means that companionship isn't valued equally by both genders. I hear male comedians (and comedians really are the truth-tellers in this culture) talk about this all the time, how men are simple and only want food and sex. They don't want to talk, or go to the botanical gardens ( :( ). I'm talking about male comedians saying this. So they don't want all that other stuff from women that women want from men, like someone to go to the beach with and snuggle with and all that. Of course if they want kids they need a uterus for that...but I think that the reason you and I are crossing points on this is because that women I think see sex as a whole lot more than intercourse...like I think of it as eye contact and snuggling and closeness and, oh yeah there is that eventual penis in the vagina, (or other since my recent partners have been women, but since we are on the man/woman thing, here) thing that happens. So I'm getting that for men for whom the magazine in one hand (and the flesh-light thing) that it is a little bit less romantic than all that, and that they might consider what I think are legitimate parts of making love to be somehow 'extra' or 'incidental' to the sex act and not part of it, where for me I don't want to have sex without that stuff. This conversation is depressing me, lol.

[Random_Australian]

131. You and me at crossing points? Not likely.

I for one am not about to forfeit all the best bits of bieng close to someone and also bieng a really good friend.

What I am saying is that the things I mentioned above mean that the guy seeks out companionship less.

Not because of anything fixed about them though, NOT because of any intrinsic properties.

It's really pretty similar to the phenomena of people snacking on something like chips, getting full, and then not wanting something that's better, like not making themselves a good dinner.

It does not mean they will never appreciate real food, it means that they are less likely to seek it at that point in time.

Not hungry for chicken cordon bleu w/opera house potatoes and steamed beans because you've been eating chips. It's like that. It does NOT mean men are fulfilled by this kinda stuff, it means that they are less likely to seek out companionship. Which in turn means that women have to compensate, which is the problem here.

(The analagy above is particularly good in that just as in what we have been talking about, chips are simply grab-it-out-of-the-packet and the meal takes time to prepare)

[idgiehkt]

132. compensate, wow

there's a word that is apt. Maybe that is what the implants and tans and bleach are about, compensating. :( Probably. :shrug:

Your analogy is perfect, porn=potato chips. So true.

[Random_Australian]

133. Yes, that is what has been worrying me.

I'm glad we've got that sorted.

Uh, wait a second, bleach? Wait, maybe I don't want to know.

But in wrapping up, potato chips have not been good for us. I wonder about the future of humans because these two things are just ones we've seen so far, and there is bound to be a LOT of this stuff in the future.

Is that your band? Really good song...plus some of those quotes are downright frightening.

:scared:

Good Job. :hi:

[pepperbear]

114. thank you! yes this is my work.

thanks for stopping by.

:hi:

113. My husband playing guitar.

That's not the best part. About half-way through, our cat decides he needs to be in the video, too.

The rest of the video is the cat screwing with the camera and my husband while he's playing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY2mI1SfS4M

[idgiehkt]

119. I love this !!

It looks like he is having a blast. he is really talented...both he and your cat are adorable, I love how he looks up at the camera and laughs when the cat comes in the picture, that is so funny...this is one of the best videos I've seen in a while.

:rofl: :hi: :rofl:

[VenusRising]

128. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

My husband loves making them. And if the cat gets in the video...all the better!

He's a DUer, too, btw. (Zodiak Ironfist)

116. Battles - Atlas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU

See them live. That is all.

[idgiehkt]

123. wow

it starts out with the set/funhouse mirrors kind of thing and the music kinds of builds on that theme, don't know quite what you are hearing or seeing. I like it. People in the comments are complaining about the simplicity of the beat but hell Nirvana was really simple...on alt radio right now it seems alot of the bands sound the same and it's weird because of the nickeback clones are veering into what sounds like contemporary country to me, I don't even know why it's played on alt radio so it's nice to hear something different. :hi:

[HughBeaumont]

127. YouTubers say the beat's "simple"?

They obviously know zilch about this band. "Atlas" is the single off Mirrored, not the rule. Most of the songs on that album are complex and effects-generated mazes of pattern war, as are most of their older songs. Battles is an all-star math-electronic-experimental group. The drummer (John Stainer from Helmet) is the only one that came from an "accessible" group. Ian Williams was part of math-metal legends Don Caballero, Dave Konopka is from Lynx and Tyondai Braxton is an experimental musician who's worked with noise rock groups.

If you've seen their live setup, there's a lot of ornate communication between the members due to all of the effects, 2 MacBooks and synths they use. The drummer is pretty much the only acoustic player on stage.

[idgiehkt]

129. they are morans

I always go into the comments for one reason if it's an unfamiliar band, to find out when the song was released or thereabouts, to see if maybe someone will at least name the decade. And inevitably there is a huge war going on where someone complains about the music and they get called names and someone tries to be the peacemaker and they get ignored and then someone posts a 'chain-letter' and someone calls them names and then someone complains about the names the name-caller is using and then that person gets piled on and then it gets back to the music in question and starts all over again. Every. Single. Time. It's hysterical and I get sucked into it on a regular basis, but I never really take it for more than entertainment value, lol.

Is this is a cartoon, or someone's original video? :hi:

[siouxsiecreamcheese]
