I can agree to no more PM's (profile messages?)

If you think my tone is smug you should hear yourself. You come off as a condescending know it all who can't stick to discussing an issue but has to revert to cryptic nonsense mixed with juvenile name calling. Seriously, you sound like a person who has read the Ayn Rand anthology and it screwed up your head.

so I summed you based on a few comments ? a few ? a few ?

I sum you up based on your personal and impersonal comments to me and the rest of the community. From what I've read from your fingertips here on the sift, you are consistently rude, abrasive and incoherent.

keep it up gramps.

let's simply agree to stop any pm's and leave it in the public arena....call it a change of heart-when I feel it necessary to piss and shit on your masturbation, I'll do so. Your tone is smug, and could give a fuck about your politics, they are head in ass like most folks are-images are a powerful force in our culture-perhaps its my inability to rise above judging you, guess you're simply unworthy-enjoy my, neo-con, right-wing, country bumpkin', (insert your comfortable label here) rants, as they will no doubt digress from this point, into screaming on a street corner style, like some schizoid homeless person. So, fuck off qrule, since you have summed me the fuck up based on a few comments, back at ya cocksucker. Oh....and it'
s not about condemning others for having different views.....it's about condemning the satisfaction others have in their views, which are incorrect, having not all the information to have a correct opinion. That and corrupted sensibilities.......

My apologies, I rarely log into videosift

You could rarely go wrong with the Meters; I picked up their Funkify Your Life: The Meters Anthology before a road trip and was groovin' across statelines. I don't really know if I would really consider Booker T & the MGs "funk" but I tend to group them with the Meters. The Very Best of Booker T. & the MG's will get you through a long day... Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration falls into the same cat., not exactly funk but some great music!

I guess the funkiest thing I'd listen to recently was Sly and the Family Stone's Greatest Hits and There's a Riot Goin' On. Hits brings up some pop and party, while Riot is more dirty. Any which way, you can't go wrong with any of that stuff. Happy listening!

“The song at the beginning (and at the end) is the Meters' "Handclapping Song" from the album Struttin'.”

thanks for the song id! Any other good funk reccomendations?

Let's give Mr Twain his due! This is the most thought provoking thing he wrote, very good. The story (The Mysterious Stranger) is in any good anthology.

For those interested, Martha Nussbaum has edited an anthology of papers on Orwell's 1984.

Thanks snide. I have the Beatles Anthology DVD box set and don't recall this footage; but I'll keep an eye out for it next time I watch it.

Thanks!

Pretty sure this is from the Beatles Anthology TV special that aired years ago. It's now available as a boxed set. Definitely something to check out if you're a big beatles fan.

From Wikipedia:

While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a rock song by The Beatles from the double album The Beatles (also known as The White Album).

It was written by George Harrison, who originally performed it with a solo acoustic guitar and an organ; a demo version, longer than the officially released version, can be heard on the Anthology 3 album and in reworked form on the Love album. Eric Clapton played lead guitar on the album version of the song with a Gibson Les Paul guitar. On The Concert for Bangladesh, he performed it on a Gibson Byrdland guitar, and later acknowledged that a solid-body guitar would have been more appropriate.

ah memories, I played every one of these. Although not mentioned, Keystone Kapers was my all-time favorite of the Activion group. I still play it today (via Activision Anthology).

I knew it! You are putting the entire anthology online!

Putting the whole anthology online eh, Snake?

Correct. John had recorded a vocal demo on his home tape-deck, Yoko had kept this and gave it to Paul, who wrote the bridge- the "Whatever happened to..." part- and Paul, Ringo and George got together at Apple to lay down their instrumental and vocal tracks. One other thing that makes this different from other Beatles tunes is the fact that George Martin didn't produce. Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra and Travelling Wilburys fame did- he also played and sang back-up vocals. Well, Jeff always said he wanted to be a Beatle- he got his wish here!

I remember a quote from Ringo (I think) that was made around the time that Anthology came out- they were offered an unheard-of guarantee of $1,000,000 per show if the 3 remaining Beatles would do a world tour. The quote was something along the lines of "Absolutely we'll tour again, the minute that John's not dead anymore".

LOL

Wait a minute, wasn't this made for the Beatles Anthology? If I recall correctly these were just takes of songs that they never completed as a group that got the final mix laid down and published. Okay I just checked Wiki:

"All of the then-surviving Beatles members filmed new interviews to add to older interviews with John Lennon, who was murdered by Mark David Chapman in 1980. The first episode ended with a promotional video for the brand new Beatles track, "Free as a Bird", created from an archive Lennon recording supplied by his widow Yoko Ono."

For my high-school literature class I was constructing an anthology with a wide range of different stories that I believed reflected the black girl’s experience. http://www.mediathatmattersfest.org/6/a_girl_like_me/
The Clarks' doll experiments grew out of Mamie's master's degree thesis and yielded 3 papers between 1939 and 1940. They found that Black children often preferred to play with white dolls over black; that, asked to fill in a human figure with the color of their own skin they frequently chose a lighter shade than was accurate, and that they viewed white as good and pretty, but black as bad and ugly.[1] They viewed this as evidence of internalized racism caused by stigmatization.
The Clarks testified as expert witnesses in several school desegregation cases including Briggs v. Elliott, one of the cases that were later combined into the famous Brown v. Board of Education, the case in which the U.S. Supreme Court officially overturned racial segregation in public education. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Clark_%28doll_test%29
