Mama-Mia! That's a spicy meat-uh-ball-uh! I never knew that Dali entered the advertisement industry. He could've been an anti-Rockwell.

So let's say *obscure b/c until now I hadn't heard of him (though that of course isn't the sole reason... most people in the offline world probably haven't either).

This Wiki quote is amusing - he gets big publicity from the online world... but then turns around and bites part of it. Though I guess the bittorrent crowd isn't exactly the same as the YT crowd, so perhaps this is totally understandable:

YouTube Fame and Beyond

Self-described as "just this guy from Topeka, Kansas who kind of blew up on the Internet about a week before Christmas," McKee became an online sensation after videos of his performances were posted to YouTube by his record label. The video for "Drifting" was massively upvoted by users at Digg, spreading McKee's fame even further.[3] Since then he has appeared by invitation on Woodsongs as well as Last Call with Carson Daly, and his online store completely sold out of his various guitar tablature books; due to massive demand, sheet music for nearly all of his songs is now available to purchase and download from CANdYRAT's webstore. He has also contributed to Josh Groban's 2007 Christmas album, Noël, playing guitar on the song "Little Drummer Boy" - the album went on to become the best-selling CD of 2007, hitting #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200.

Andy McKee comments on The Pirate Bay

McKee has, in the past, personally commented on BitTorrent websites hosting his music, chastising downloaders for their actions. Posting to The Pirate Bay under the name "AlteredTuning" (which is the same handle he uses on his own website's message boards), McKee sarcastically echoed other commenters' thanks to the original uploader of his album:

Yeah thanks a lot for uploading! It's not like I need to make a living with my music or anything.

8,676 thieves.

If you really appreciate what I am doing, buy my CD legitimately so I can continue to compose music rather than work at K-Mart. I'm not Metallica. I don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars, much less millions.

Andy McKee [1]

I think it was. I replaced it. Thank you!

Is this dead?

The question of the legitimacy of islamophobia as a term to describe fear of a particular belief system (and NOT fear of Arabic people in general) is more subtle than proponents of either side of the debate would seem to have us believe and are certainly more subtle than this particular exceptionally obnoxious man believes. I ask you, is it wrong to fear a belief system which at best ignores and at worst condones deliberate suicide bombing against civilians? I can take the argument further, if we consider "christianophobia" to be a fear of christians who are so deeply deluded and deranged within their religion that they find no qualms whatever about murdering abortion doctors or gay people, is this not also a rational fear of an obviously warped and sadistic belief system? Similarly, would buddhistophobia be all so horrible a term if applied to the apparently Dali Lama condoned eye gouging, limb amputating, tongue slicing practices of the devout Tibet of 50 years ago? I sure would be scared of such a belief system. It is not the people that I and my fellow skeptics fear, it is their terrifying, irrational, deranged, humanity denying belief systems which we dislike and yes, sometimes fear. I submit to you that these terms of 'X-beliefophobia' are legitimate and have legitimate uses.

Dali has such stunning imagery. BTW you mis-spelled sequence in the title.

Who cares if this sick piece of film is famous. This is for people who get off on psycho mutilation of the body. Do you think this is "cool" for everyone to see or whhhaaattt!!!? I'd rather enjoy Dali's incredible paintings and sculptures instead. He stinks at film work! He must have had a bad day when he made this crap.
I'm sure it was only famous because his name was associated with it.

You posted it choggie, but it was "put to sleep"...

hey is that the giant holstein outside of green bay?

This type of thing is why Dali was kicked out of the Surrealist movement by Breton.

agree with the text chosen....too hard to read at first glance...
green on the coconut, perhaps a frog zappin a fly with its tongue, perched on the edge..

Viral needs the Bio-Haz symbol!

The Warhol reference reminds me of soup, not his pop-art trip...
A sift with paint splotch action, or Dali jugglin' the kitties, standing inside...

Animation, with the WB logo with Videosift across it.....DANGER! How bout a buncha celluloid hanging from the top, with one frame enlarged and colorized, with a cartoon mallet hitting a head with stars....etc.....?

Based on actual events, the DEATH OF SALVADOR DALI screenplay won 1st place at the LA Hypefest Screenplay Competition last year and the project was awarded a Panavision grant. Starring Salvador Benavides, Robert Cesario and Dita Von Teese, written and directed by Delaney Bishop.

This film chronicles the flamboyant Salvador Dali as he drops into the office and headspace of Sigmund Freud. The unsuspecting doctor is subjected to chaos, madness, and the deceptive schemes of an enigmatic series of visitors.

Awesome soundtrack too.
