Not sure what the auto-generated subtitles were meant to provide other than audio descriptions of the thuds of large boulders colliding with vehicles... Not even a Wilhelm scream in there!

A very convincing thud and amusing rattle from the shock rippling the length of the door.

I could hear Smashmouth song lyrics, and the talking piano (reminded me of Dr. Who Dalek), but didn't hear the thud of jumping transmission line tower.

Hey kid your hands smell funnnn *thud*

so minimally that far... this was pretty good from wiki:

Shock waves form when the speed of a fluid changes by more than the speed of sound.[3] At the region where this occurs sound waves travelling against the flow reach a point where they cannot travel any further upstream and the pressure progressively builds in that region, and a high pressure shock wave rapidly forms.

Shock waves are not conventional sound waves; a shock wave takes the form of a very sharp change in the gas properties on the order of a few mean free paths (roughly micrometers at atmospheric conditions) in thickness. Shock waves in air are heard as a loud "crack" or "snap" noise. Over longer distances a shock wave can change from a nonlinear wave into a linear wave, degenerating into a conventional sound wave as it heats the air and loses energy. The sound wave is heard as the familiar "thud" or "thump" of a sonic boom, commonly created by the supersonic flight of aircraft.

The sound we hear hasn't got anything to do with the drums played in the video, other than faint thuds from hitting the pads - watch the drum fill at 0:29 - he plays a drum fill, but we still hear the regular drums from the original track.

As well - even if this was a "proper" rock band recording, you'd only trigger the pre-recorded sounds anyway, save for the odd drum fill.

For a Rock Band session to qualify as a livemusic, in my opinion, you'd have to overdub the drums with the sounds generated from a proper drumkit - electronic or acoustic.

And yes, I own and play rock band myself - I have an Alesis Dm10 kit hooked up with MIDI for proper drums, the Rock Band Keyboard for proper keyboard and the Fender Squier plastic fantastic "Strat" for MIDI guitar. It is especially fun with friends and beer.

As a person that has driven cross country in the US, I have experienced insane hot rains that nearly (and sometimes completely) blot out visibility. Does this not seem like a bad idea to make your car become "invisible" (dark color change might not register with human vision if the color change occurs at the moment that visibility is impaired) with different temperatures of water? I imagine seeing this red car disappear and then THUD CRASH BANG: rear end collision.

Some jobs take a lot of your time, are awesome, and still (maybe) not worth it. How do people not see this? Do you need scapegoats to work at the same place for close to 10 years with very little credit for the sacrifice and value they've dumped into the job; with little self-seeking beyond wanting to maximize your potential and increase the value of a product you feel others are dropping the ball on?

And then to finally make the call that it's not worth it. And to go out in a way that adds value to your life, rather than a flat, depressing thud; the dawning realization that you are now jobless but free...

To be constantly judged by compliance, once radical, ever changing system theory, now turned common place and required for what once was exciting, fresh, and driven by passion...

The passion filter is ON. It's on and it ain't ever turning OFF.

Tabby: "Whee!"
Black cat: "WTF!" Thud!
Tabby: "Whatcha doing? Is it fun? It looks like fun!"

I made an obscure joke. Tried to fix it with the subject description.

First rule of comedy -- if you have to explain the joke, it ain't funny.

@Bloodscourge, I'm going to leave the title as is, because it amuses me how badly my "joke" worked.

Reminds me of Dick Cavett's memoir from years ago. He tells the story of one of Johnny Carson's writers coming up with the following joke:

"It was really cold in New York City today."

{cue for the audience to shout -- how cold was it?}

"It was so cold, Mayor Lindsay had to wear buckles on his shoes."

Great resounding thud in the writer's room. Huh? "You know, the Puritans wore buckles on their shoes, and the Indians had to come save them from the horrible winter."

If you have to explain it, it ain't funny.

But all this talk of how unfunny my joke is begins to amuse me deeply.

Perhaps the little guy is in a state of shock/discombobulation; from a collision with the windshield perhaps?

I've heard many a small <THUD!> against my windows only to find a small bird lying near-paralyzed on the ground outside, motionless but breathing/watching me with its eyes. The reflex to grasp things with their claws is usually still present in this state, which is convenient for transporting the poor things to the branch of a nice, quiet bush to let them recover.

The metallic thud really sold it for me. Best comeuppance so far...

"careful, easy now..must put head down gracefully...slowly..slowly...almost there......" ::THUD:: ZZZzzzzzZZzzzz

>> ^shagen454: If you're just looking at the video I understand your sentiments. However, like I said I'm not a big fan of this type of music - that being said the way in which someone comes up with music is important. I know Videosift is full of music Ignoramuses, but these guys use circuit bent toys as well as completely analog drum machines & synths to make their fully original "mutant" sound. They were signed to a "larger" underground electronic label, toured Europe for years and were pretty influential with movers and shakers of all sorts. If you can't hear it - that's fine, maybe there's something wrong with you, maybe you're completely normal. or maybe right now is just not the right time for you to understand.



it seems you have a GROSS misunderstanding of "dookey dookey doo, thud, thud, thud, thud" music. circuit bent toys, analogue drum machines, and analogue synths are par for the course and certainly nothing new. as a fan of "dookey dookey doo, thud, thud, thud, thud" music i find this offensively boring.

just because you make noise in an interesting way doesn't make the noise itself interesting.

oh god, I can't stop laughing. Someone need to take this video and edit for just when he jumps he goes to slow motion and you hear the lined from a song "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the "thud".
