Bio:
There used to be more here but we all lost so much on 3/11. Placeholder: This Sifter is a citizen-soldier with a commercial pilot's license and a degree in history. I live in the best city of the world's third best country: Montreal, Canada. I am a pillar of Sift, but unsung, since I make too many comments that are cryptic and baffling and not enough that are zesty and sexy. I submit an awful lot of music, much of which takes a year to get sifted, because you are all philistines.

Thanks so much for requesting my video go into the Canada category. I hadn't thought of that when I posted it. Much appreciated.

There always has to be that WIENER who puts "Bewbs" into the tags

Thanks for the *promote fus ro *DAH

I'll check out your recommendation after work (it's blocked here, and I think it would look bad if I exempted myself from that ).

I updated the description, and found a way to sneak it into the tags too (took out the name of the other girl from tags, and only left it in the description).

I had forgotten that the link between the Le Cargo session and that performance was the venue... this was probably the same day as the Le Cargo recording.

You are right. Restored!

That's interesting... the only trouble is that a tag search for "marketa irglova" won't show it up now. I only previously knew her as half of The Swell Season, with Glen Hansard... and since it took three searches to find all the clips including her, my vid isn't the only one with tag issues :
In reply to this comment by calvados:
I modified your tags, old son! I felt people should know she's the young lady from the movie 'Once' (which I hadn't known until right now).

You just edit the embed to include a start=secs parameter, with the number of seconds into the video you want it to start. You have to do this for both (or at least the 2nd) url, the first one puts the red dot at the start point, the 2nd actually starts there.

The one you were looking at was:


<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="500" height="401"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BtJuoAl8iWE?version=3&controls=1&fs=1&border=0&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy
=3&loop=0&egm=0&rel=0&showsearch=0&start=90&modestbranding=0&showinfo=0&theme=dark"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BtJuoAl8iWE?version=3&controls=1&fs=1&border=0&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy=3
&loop=0&egm=0&rel=0&showsearch=0&start=90&modestbranding=0&showinfo=0&theme=dark" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="500" height="401"/></object>


I don't normally put the start= in the middle like that, I normally put it after the theme=dark.

There are other options you can tweak, documented here:
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html

I found mention of a chrome thingy to do it for you if you use chrome:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/youtube-allows-you-to-start-playing-embed-video-at-specific-start-time/

Obviously pros and cons vs using lucky's vs submit one.

Now if you just want a segment out of the middle... then you have to use tubechop.

Opo, how'd you get the video embed with a specific start time? I thought that only worked with the URL.

Happy anniversary! Today marks year number 5 since you first became a Sifter and the community is better for having you. Thanks for your contributions!

Me too. I'm withdrawing and re-grouping for the moment, the scattergun approach of calling quality or promote hasn't worked out for this one. I think it has a rather niche target, or else people need to be persuaded that Deer Tick is a cool indie band and not just a sure fire way to get Lyme's disease

Thanks O! I'd love to see this thing hit 10!

Good! Crazy busy, but good. Trying to hit up the sift as often as I can these days, but it's sadly not very often...
