You can beg as much as you like. There are no limits on invocations - you just need the power points.

Most of my submits tend to be born out of sheer luck - I subscribe to RSS feeds for various sites in Google Reader and often, as is the nature of things these days, posts carry embedded video content. If it's interesting then I'll see if it's sifted. Alternatively, something just pops into my head from reading or after watching tv and then I'm off to YouTube.

Lately I've been on a deliberate posting binge - so I directly check out the supported video hosts websites and see if anything new has been posted that might be sift-worthy. That's a tougher source as the regulars have their eyes on them.

Finally I have got a few links from Twitter. Some love it or hate it but if you follow interesting folks they will post video links and I have nabbed those.

Oh and one more thing - if I see something interesting on Videosift but there's nothing much more on the site then searching for a related video is a must. I did that for my Beluga aircraft submission after seeing only one video from Farhad2000. Never forget if a subject is popular then more videos will probably be welcomed.

Keep going mate, I'm sure you'll do just fine. And don't worry we'll get the R Kelly thing sifted.

I've been a Sift lurker for a long time, but only recently came out of Probationary status and I'm still trying to figure some things out.

Can I *beg more than once? Also, where do you and others find so many videos to submit?? I can never find anything that is quality enough to post here, or that hasn't already been posted. I think this site is a little confusing to newcomers. Maybe I'm just doing everything wrong.

Thanks.

It's strange isn't it? Still not convinced what quality does so I'll throw in a promote later on.

Hmm.. Certainly works better than the anti-harmony of that other sift. I still feel as though it's lacking the more significant (and better) bits of the Daft song. Merely putting the "lyrical instruments" from one song into another doesn't automatically make that second song better. I just feel it was an unfair balance of the two pieces. Better than the weirdly-sounding sift, though, certainly.

Despite how often as you are apparently disappointed with other people's recommendations, I feel I must counter-share:

I feel as though both halves of this mashup contribute to each other in some meaningful way.

Just sifted a Nirvana mashup that actually works:

You might like this one.

Not a fan of Nirvana, so this is a vast improvement. The tonality is a little off in places, but then Nirvana was never known for harmony. It is interesting to see how well they fit together, though.

Broken Social Scene:Lover's Spit
This song is performed by Broken Social Scene and appears on the album You Forgot It In People (2002).
This song is performed by Broken Social Scene and appears on the album Bee Hives (2004).

All these people drinking lover's spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
And they listen to teeth to learn how to quit
Tied to a night they never met

You know it's time that we
Grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way
I like it all that way

All these people drinking lover's spit
Swallowing words while giving head
They listen to teeth to learn how to quit
Take some hands and get used to it

All those people drinking lover's spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
You know it's time that we
Grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way
I like it all that way
I like it all that way

^ upvote anyhow, because I love this song.

Ever ridden a scooter past your local downtown coffee shops while listening to Broken Social Scene on your iPod? Don't forget to roll your pants up halfway across your knee socks.
