Things are moving pretty fast, so we can’t remember which stage we’re in. Surely we’ve moved beyond “It’s A Bubble”, but have we also passed “It’s A Bubble Backlash” and gone into “No, It’s Really A Bubble”? Regardless, we enjoyed this video, even though we didn’t seem to make the blogroll.
Music Video for the Theme Song to the short-lived TV show ‘Wonderfalls’. It was one of those shows that was just too good for television. The theme song will get stuck in your head fairly easily.
A must watch. Incredible new music video directed by Lasse Gjertsen for the Italian cellist Giovanni Sollima on two of his compositions; “Terra Aria” and “Concerto Rotondo”.
Lasse Gjertsen (born July 19th, 1984) is a Norwegian animator, musician, and videographer known on YouTube as lassegg.[1] He is best known for his short pieces “Hyperactive” and “Amateur”, which string together short clips of video to create a unique form of video akin to stop-motion animation. His “Hyperactive” video has over 10 million views.
And what about that art school teacher who dismissed Mr. Gjertsen’s original stop-motion music video? Does he know about Mr. Gjertsen’s rise to prominence on YouTube? “I hope so! I really hope so,” Mr. Gjertsen says. “I haven’t heard anything from him though.”

After the Viacom lawsuit, I scanned Vidmeter’s “Top Videos” in an attempt to see whether Viacom (and other big media) videos constituted a large percentage of online video views. This review suggested that they did not–and, therefore, that Google/YouTube had a lot more leverage in the YouTube-Big Media negotiations than was commonly thought. Vidmeter’s analysis (which is based on a sample rather than the whole site) goes far beyond my initial scan, but the conclusions are the same:
6.1. Summary of Data
From the research performed, we have concluded that unauthorized copyright videos make up a relatively small portion of YouTube’s most popular videos and an even smaller portion of views to YouTube’s most popular videos. While the study did find a fair number of blatantly pirated full-length clips from television shows and movies, the bulk of views to removed videos consisted of music videos and short clips from comedy sketches and unique sporting events.
Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(chorus)
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
In 1973´s Live And Let Die, there´s a scene when Bond has to jump a row of three crocodiles to avoid being eaten. Ross Kananga (the onwner of these crocodiles) perfomed the stunt.
This video shows the five attempts of Kananga to jump. It was a very dangerous stunt, and Kananga is almost victim of his own pets… Inside Live And Let Die – The Crocodile Jump – YouTube
昔の007のスタント・シーン。これは結構怖いかもw ｢his own pets｣と書いてあるからKanangaって人はスタントマンではなくて動物を用意する人なのかな? ワニがきれいに並んでいるのは、水中で縛ってある? 2匹目の背中で止まっちゃったときも、他のワニが食いついてくる様子はないし。一口噛んでも、それ以上ガブリガブリとやらないのは麻酔でもかけてあるんだろうか。でも、それじゃあ、Kanangaがジャンプしてきたときにあんなにタイミングよく顔を上げられないよな…。
Yesterday, we reported on Canadian inventor Troy Hortubise’s new Trojan power armor, which he hopes will allow the military to mass produce an unlimited number of super soldiers for as little as 2 grand a pop. You’d have been right to be skeptical, but look at what Troy can come up with when only supplied with a roll of duct tape and some disused goalie equipment.
This is a hilarious video from AFV of a guy testing out the 6 stages of a dog shock collar! SO FUNNY! This is a clean video, safe for your family to watch.
Of course, the star of the show is Kinski’s insane, egomaniacal tantrums, like this one, in which he has a full-on conniption fit about the quality of catering available deep in the jungles of Peru.
