Chicken Lady: Homecoming - Kids in the Hall

Fairbs says...

Excellent points. If you look back over the entire SNL catalog there is a lot of great stuff. It's also been on for 40 years or so so yeah there should be. I think SNL is used as a springboard for a lot of comedians and writers. For example, Larry David was a writer.

What do you think of Upright Citizens Brigade or Mr. Show? I looked up a list of sketch comedy shows and it reminded me that the Chapelle show was pretty great. I never thought of Benny Hill as a sketch comedy show (it is), but I loved it as a kid. Probably too slapstick for me now.

Kids in the Hall sketches are also more thought provoking than SNL. SNL is more of a contemporary pop culture reference machine like Mad magazine and Family Guy.

The pop cultural references in KitH are to things of higher value like early cinema classics (Citizen Kane), Nietzsche, Morrison Hotel, surrealism, film noir; and with heavy pro LGBT, pro environmental (the beaver!) and anti corporate themes; displaying the frivolity of office politics, and the HARDCORE Canadian law enforcement.

What does SNL give but a couple'a chuckles, eh?

Tel Aviv - Incredible Amateur Audio/Video Mashup

Sagemind says...

@ChaosEngine.
Yes, and I have heard Alabama Shakes..., definitely not on the radio though. The internet is giving some artists a venue that didn't used to exist. Which is awesome.

We have ten radio stations in our town of 100,000. And they all play the same stuff. The playlists are so small, I hear the same songs over and over. Even the classics station repeats the same 20 songs over and over. There used to be privately owned Stations, but they've all been bought out by the bigger corporations, and now they only play the "Approved" list of currently trending catalog songs.

I guess I'm becoming Jaded.

Doubt - How Deniers Win

dannym3141 says...

And thus are we stuck between a rock and a hard place. The politician wants you to believe that if we DO contribute to global warming (and we do) then it has to be to a degree that requires huge change and therefore huge amounts of cash. The monolithic oil/fuel companies want you to believe that we have no effect whatsoever, please continue burning as many fossils as you can find.

And the field of science (put simply, the desire of the most inquisitive amongst us to better understand the reality we find ourselves in) stuck in the middle quietly cataloging and recording exactly what is happening with the highest precision available, being completely fucking ignored.

But that is the way of Earth and i've made my peace with it. Suicide through capitalism, we are more interested in presentation than content, personal gain than collective gain, and afterall what is more presentable than the easy option? But i consider this a failing on the part of scientists to insist how important it is that we make our collective decisions based on our best understanding (i.e. science). I would like to correct that mistake, but i don't know how yet. I figure it will have to involve being able to present scientific ideas well, and VS has helped me hone that skill.

In other words thanks very much @enoch, i just wish he'd engage me. (I was less than polite because i know he ignores me - he doesn't want to learn, he wants to win.)

I was referencing the ensemble models the IPCC used in their latest report. I'm largely assuming it includes the latest knowledge on the subject. To me the more encouraging thing is direct measurement of energy imbalance being available to measure models against. The truest measure of the overall greenhouse effect is just this. With it, so long as models accurately track and predict trends in the energy imbalance we can be confident they more or less have things right. That said, the IPCC notes there has been no trend in instrumental data since 2000. Models have been universally projecting a modest upward trend. This again gives hope and reason to believe the lower end projections are the more likely to be accurate. This correlates well with how the original 1990 projections have mapped to actual temp over the last 25 years too. All that is to say that scientifically those saying we should panic need as much slapping into place as those insisting nothing is happening at all.

Yep, you're exactly right. Members here don't take kindly to people ignoring the huge, repetitive warnings.

The no-self-linking policy is one of the core values held close to the heart of the community and a big part of the reason we have such a great catalog of videos (instead of tons of garbage from people trying to get their videos more views).



If you like the stuff you find, stick around and enjoy. Otherwise, thank for stopping by!

Oh ok, just wondering because I've never seen Videosift before. I'm just a huge fan of the band and found this on a google search when I was kinda stalking lol. I guess the poster was maybe one of their people or something? I know the video ins't like, innappropriate so maybe the 'self promotion' thing was the reason. The band has a big following and a couple people direct messaged me on twitter saying they saw it was banned on this site too and we were all wondering why. Thanks for the info.

How to make BEETLES pancakes

oritteropo says...

You could put the question on the discussion page of his yt channel?

Ikea have one that's clearly different but might be OK - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20149458/

There are many arguments discussions about which is the best one, like http://www.thekitchn.com/good-question-what-is-the-best-2-83935

The two most common questions about Nathan's pancakes were what's the recipe for the batter (which he's answered, as Bisquick+soymilk if he's in a hurry) and where did he get the spatula (which he hasn't). The recipe I use is http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/24407/basic+pancakes

*promote Meshuggah 25th Anniversary TOUR!!



Meshuggah announce 25th anniversary tour around Bonnaroo, asking fans to vote on their setlists (dates)
by Doug Moore
Meshuggah at the Roseland Ballroom, 2013 (more by Fred Pessaro)
Meshuggah
Few metal bands survive for 25 consecutive years, and even fewer retain a reputation for consistency over such a long period the way Meshuggah have. We already knew that the Swedish djent progenitors were slotted to play this year's edition of Bonnaroo in June, filling the bad-trip-inducement slot that Swans occupied last year. Unsurprisingly, they've also announced a short North American tour built around that date and their ensuing appearance at Quebec's Amnesia Rock Fest. The tour is being billed as a 25th-anniversary celebration for the band, and it also includes Between the Buried & Me on its non-festival dates. Meshuggah are also holding a poll in which fans can help the band decide what their set list will include by voting for one song from each album in their catalog.
The tour will hit NYC on 6/21 at Best Buy Theater. Tickets for that show haven't gone on sale yet, but keep an eye out. In the meantime, enjoy a live video (of mosh action, natch) from Meshuggah's last NYC appearance and check out the full set of dates below...

What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains

poolcleaner says...

You could also blame books and homing pigeons -- Encyclopedia sets? Libraries? I spent many hours of my time as a child reading in these original information databases. I feel like the internet just brought a bunch of base fucks into a spectrum of reality that has always existed. Fucks that normally wouldn't spend their time consuming information in a database. Fucks that would market the shit out of every aspect of it. The perception of this video is a direct result of our internet being ground into dust.

At its mid-range potential, the internet is not much different than a library. I recall a lot of book-learned facts which are plain WRONG, including false and biased information, and unlabeled, incorrectly scaled maps being fairly constant. Yay Christopher Columbus! Yay happy natives! Yay dropping nuclear bombs on people! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy

The internet brings ourselves closer and closer to instant, multi-perspective, peer-reviewed information, because we no longer need to thumb through catalogs, shelves, and pages, and everyone can contribute in a trusted, merit-based environment. Identify the fuckers of the internet. They pollute us with their bullshit. (I posit that I am not a fucker, I am merely disgruntled.)

One of my best friends is a librarian and the major difference he sees between Wikipedia and published books is that published books require new editions to replace outdated and incorrect information, potentially screwing over human memory for as long as that book isn't burned. (Sorry, rofl, I thought it was a funny way to phrase that. Plz don't burn books.)

The key is to avoid nonstop popular culture and focus on the vast educational potential of the internet.

And don't use social media.

And keep your mobile device's sound and vibration OFF. I love technology but don't let it reverse your human potential, let it augment. Focus on augmentation and factual checks & balances of the information you take in.

No to the conclusions from this video. No. No. NO! The net doesn't make us more superficial, we do and we always have.

Funny YouTube Comments of 2012

GeeSussFreeK says...

I thought that was kind of a neat idea for the @dag to think about...promoting comments or something like that. I remember a great little bit about shaving on the dollar razor video...it would be nice to catalog and promote good conversations inasmuch as we do good videos. It already works pretty well with the sidebar conversation thingy, but just taking it a step further to make it a little more fleshed out. Just a thought.
