You know, she's all about that bass. No trouble; at all.

Awesome! I play well enough to have fun, but I've got *nothing* on any of these guys.

It was especially fun to see/recognize some of my favorites from YouTube, like Hyunmo Kim (the S. Korean dude in the French Maid's outfit) who has been on the sift for a slap/pop cover of Gangnam Style, Davide Biale (Italy) who has a great YouTube channel with lessons and covers/medleys of videogames and other media on bass, etc.

Only person missing was this dude:

That 32nd note chord rhythm at 2:31 is so funky and crazy rhythmic. Definitely quality!

I went and checked him out after happening upon this and here's his latest: http://videosift.com/video/Ronald-Jenkees-Try-The-Bass-Latest-single

It has always seemed kind of bass ackwards to me that probationary members can self-promote but not promote others' videos. What was the reasoning behind that? Maybe reverse the rule? Or allow probies to do either but require more cost for self-promoting (3 stars)?

While we're talking about abilities, calling dupes should probably be allowed by lower levels. I'm thinking bronze or silver. But it should still require a gold member or above to isdupe it so that a more senior member always double-checks.

Also, as someone who literally spent years at silver, I thought it might be cool to award star points for time spent actively on the site. Like, if you logged in and upvoted something at least 'X' number of times during the year (on different days of course) then every year you earn 10 star points on your anniversary. That would mean after 5 years an active user could be at silver without ever sifting a video. This would also prevent people from ever realistically achieving gold or above without sifting something.

Just food for thought anyways.

Cabela's is a sporting (as in hunting/fishing type activities, no athletics) goods catalog business. They expanded from that into a few really huge stores of over 200,000 square feet, recent stores are closer to 80,000-100,000. The really big stores were travel destinations for sporting enthusiasts. I'm not sure about the smaller ones, but the big 225,000 size stores had restaurants. Most of the stores have a large "conservation mountain" of mounted animals, some have aquariums (the one in Columbus has a 5,000 gallon one). I think some of them even had climbing walls. Other chain stores that have similar things are Bass Pro Shops, Gander Mountain...

My step father is a taxidermist and sportsman, so he gets the catalog. He's never done work for them, though he's done some for one of the local stores. I haven't seen a catalog for a long time, so either he stopped getting it or they stopped sending it out in mass and use their online store as the catalog was probably expensive.

Largemouth bass be all like "WTF YO"

Good old Amiga *animation - you can see the Deluxe Paint cursor!
And what a *quality bass line!

If you ever get the chance to see a good taiko group, go.

Kazuya Miura is right, nothing compares to being physically present at a performance. You can feel the bass vibrations in your chest.

The skill and energy is just amazing. Some of the drums are played from a "sit up" position. Those guys are machines.


First time I saw taiko, I thought it was the most metal thing I'd ever seen, and I desperately wanted to jam with them on guitar.
Sepultura then stole my idea.

My oldest brother fancies himself as a guitar player, and EVERYTIME he covers something, this is one of the three songs he plays, and wants someone to sing with him. It's basically the same as me picking up a bass guitar and playing Tom Sawyer, except I stopped doing that 30 years ago because nobody wants to hear you play the same thing everytime you play.

Now everytime he does it, people loudly groan in disgust. lol
