The yt description explains it a bit:

Seiji is tormented by horrible tsunami-flashback dreams, but one night he wakes up and his beloved grandfather has appeared. With a strum of his grandfather's guitar, Seiji is transported to a colorful, slightly strange, psychedelic world and finally manages to have a good dream.

Wow, what a performance. Feels a bit like David Byrne.

Ah Rose. Marry me?


And then divorce NaMeCaF and then marry me!

Wait, what was Craig doing with Jay Leno?

Ah yes, the "unbiased" brain story. http://rockinconservative.com/2011/04/12/a-tale-of-two-brains/

I"m too lazy to formulate my own words at this time, so I found someone with words that match my sentiments:

I believe people have rights to legally designate in contract law who can visit them in hospitals, who can be named as insurance beneficiaries and the raft of other considerations sought for gay and lesbian couples. Call the arrangement civil unions if you wish.

But that's not the same as defining any union a marriage.

My fear — based on secular, more than religious precepts — is that watering down marriage could eventually rob society of the stabilizing and other beneficial effects of an institution now relentlessly under attack. Perhaps this argument is too ethereal to be grasped or accepted in an age of radical individualism. But it's an argument that is understood by plenty of Americans willing to state it, although it puts them in danger of being painted as haters.

--Dennis Byrne


Where I disagree with Byrne is that this nightmare world is wrought by "radical individualism". It's the herd, the mob, the petty tyrants, behind these farcical ideas.

“Using data from MRI scans, researchers at the University College London found that self-described liberals have a larger anterior Cingulate Cortex – a gray matter of the brain associated with understanding complexity. Meanwhile, self-described conservatives are more likely to have a larger Amygdala, an almond shaped area that is associated with fear and anxiety.”
So @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/quantumushroom" title="member since June 22nd, 2006" class="profilelink">quantumushroom, next time you feel a strongly conservative stance coming on, you might consider teasing out what is irrational fear versus a well-founded fear. And maybe, just maybe, try some critical and thoughtful analysis of the situation.
You know, like, considering science.
Why ARE you so afraid of gays and lesbians? And please don't say you aren't -- every time you trot out that 4% number, you are broadcasting "fear of the other."

Nope. This one is way way WAY shorter than that one. Good eye, though -- this indeed is a short little nubbin from that vid.

But thanks for cross referencing the original here. The full thing is really funny -- worth taking a look.

anyone else gets Doug Stanhope's vibe?


Similar topic to Doug's "abortion is green" bit, among others. Way different vibe though. Bill plows along as some angry white guy. His whole act is him just being mad at the way shit is. Doug takes a more jaded and sarcastic approach to his philosophies.

If you want to see "vibe" stealing check out Steve Byrne's "Comedy Central Presents" and compare his "vibe" to Dane Cook's...well you probably won't find that special because he probably took it down.

Thanks, moo!

It looks like it was an epic gathering of musicians. It' be nice if there was more of it out there but I think it might be hard to find.

Hi Fusionaut, hope your good! Coping with a hangover myself... Well I'm not really sure other than it being "The late late show" with Gay Byrne. I will have a look though and see if I can find anything further, I'm sure there must be more information out there! I will give you a shout when I get something else on it!

Hey moodonia,

I've just made the connection between your Seamus Ennis video:

Here some more info copied from it dupe:

"From YT: A great English icon visited an Aussie one when Stephen Fry came to the Sydney Opera House to discuss travel, language, the three W's (Wilde, Waugh and Wodehouse) and everything in between, in a 90 minute talk-fest. The night involved a cracking 45 minute chat by Fry and then a 45 minute Q&A with First Tuesday Book Club's Jennifer Byrne.

A true polymath and the epitome of a Renaissance Man, Stephen Fry is a natural treasure in his native land of England. A writer, presenter, social commentator, satirist, actor and TV personality, Fry's diverse interests and enthusiasms have seen him become one of a small handful of global cultural figures who have a significant presence in every form of media; radio, TV, film, print and online.

Better known for playing the lead in the film Wilde, Fry was Melchett in the Blackadder television series and is the host of the ABC TV quiz show, QI. He also presented the television series Stephen Fry In America, which saw him travelling across all 50 U.S. States in a London cab.

Apart from his work in television, Fry has contributed columns and articles for newspapers and magazines, and has written four novels and an autobiography, Moab Is My Washpot and appears frequently on BBC Radio.

Fry wields considerable influence through his use of the social networking site Twitter and is frequently asked to promote various charities and causes, often inadvertently causing the host website to crash due to the sheer volume of traffic generated by his large number of followers."

Hmmm, this song is bordering on self-parody for Byrne. And he make it worse by sticking a rapper in the middle, something that's gone out of fashion.

And not really getting the concept of the video. Oh well, a miss imo.
