I've already taken a look in the vast siftverse for some new tunes and found much non-electronical thanks to you.

Oh and I have edited my last post a bunch of times, I hope you are not too confused by that.

This is also one of my favorites: http://soundcloud.com/epikurmusic/kepos

I'll keep an eye out for them then. I know a few have gone through my playlists.

Tag search gets a few, just not the obvious tag - http://videosift.com/tag/8bit

Just noticed... you're getting rather close to gold these days :

Hey thanks for the link. Though the song didn't exactly hit my taste... hairs? (you know, in the ear) :
I don't like most of the electronica / d'n'b songs with vocals in it. Very often it just doesn't add anything to the experience, IMO. Although this song was quite ambient and "easy listening".

But I'm always looking for a good electronical tune (no matter what subgenre), preferably with all kinds of influences. I would open a big bucket of power points for somebody who can give me a really good electronica - klezmer sound.

Do you like electronica, and particularly d'n'b?

This one's on 9 and I quite liked it:

Perhaps not quite as much as the violin one that you found in Beggar's canyon, but 1000 times more than the death metal one :

Here's a set that describes my taste most accurately at the moment: http://soundcloud.com/berlin-kreuzberg-institut/bki-21-robosonic-dj-mix-fusion-festival-2010

Pro tip: if one frequency range is covered, better to choose a complimentary range (violin or even viola) rather than double down on the same one. Know what I mean?


..or at least transpose the melody an octave higher.

I know alot of high paid people who hate their jobs. I don't play violins for them, but I do empathize.

On the FE/PO relationship: from wikipedia: FedEx SmartPost specializes in the consolidation and delivery of high volumes of low-weight, less time-sensitive business-to-consumer packages, using the US Postal Service[2] for final delivery to residences.

Agree agree agree on your last point.
>> ^shagen454:

Not that it even matters to me, but first class mail will be replaced by FedEx and UPS priority deliveries as first class mail will become a two day service.
The guy probably does not hate his job's payout because even a SCM makes over 130K including bonuses so I'm sure this guy is rolling in it. Never ever heard about USPS handling FedEx duties.... I still stand by my statement FedEx fucking sucks a corrupt company; but I guess that doesn't make them much different than most corporations in the America? And people seem to be fine with that.
>> ^longde:
@shagen454 Of course within your post you directly addressed the teleprompter guy: "the way this guy speaks, completely disingenuous, stale, planned is exactly the way that company is all the way to the top." ; that's why I responded acerbically. I really don't know what you expect that guy to do. I'm sure he hates his job too. No need to dump on him in an empty way if your target is really FedEx.
People didn't "fall for" it; I would guess the 3 upvoters (wow, how many power points will that get me?) were simply rubbed the same way I was with your post.
I am a little familiar with the operations of FedEx, UPS and the Post Office. I wouldn't want to be a grunt in any of those places either; having my times constantly checked. Does that mean I would chuck a monitor over a fence? At least they didn't can that guy.
Since Fed Ex is actually contracted by the Postal Service for some mid- and long-haul routes, shutting down the Postal Service would actually hurt some parts of FedEx. Also, I don't think that UPS or FedEx will offer a replacement for 1st class mail.

Thanks for the quality, boise.

Electric violin, electric cello... my fave.

You are most welcome.

And, thank you, yes. I actually recognized her instantly on that one and verified it as the TX RennFest from the notes. See her live in a few weeks me thinks.

In my opinion,No, not Dupe, but then again to me this one has no place here because of the other one.
Its a line that is being toed, its pretty much the same content on all levels(hah) but there are discernible differences negating what one would call a dupe over.
Kill it and move forward, thats my motto.


In spite of the fact that it adds a minute of new music that's not in the other one!?! That's being really liberal with the dupe definition, I think.

It's a slightly different angle and a slightly different performance, but this is so similar I don't see any way you could argue that this isn't a dupe. Sorry Vexus.

I thought we'd decided that different camera angles are NOT dupes. See:

Also, if its a different performance doesn't that automatically make it not a dupe? Otherwise we'd have to dupe every cover song and concert performance on the Sift.

I think we decided that different camera angles are not always dupes. That doesn't mean they're never dupes, it means we have to use our judgment on a case-to-case basis.
Seriously, did you watch both videos in this case? The angle is only marginally different, and the music itself is so similar that the only way you can tell that it's actually a different performance is if you watch them side-by-side. This isn't the same as a cover song or a live performance. Seriously, I don't think you've actually watched both videos. Watch them both and then tell me you don't think this is a dupe.


Despite your incredulity, I did indeed watch both and no I don't think they're dupes.

Now my question for you: did you look at the precedents (that I took a great deal of time to compile)? Because those are way more similar (in many cases exactly the same in both audio and video--just different camera angle) than these two.
