  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

How the original Dr. Who theme music was made

submitted by arvana

1 decade 4 years 4 months 3 weeks ago

No synthesizers, no musicians, no multi-track tape; it was physically constructed inch-by-inch on 1/4-inch mono tape.

Nerds unite and vote for the God Damn Video!!!!

This song taps into some deep, deep part of me. The nerd part. I'm so sad that my own children (they are real) will not feel that. Wait a second, my youngest, 3, loves Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and she complained "why did the song change" between each season as I rewatched them with my wife. My God, she's a NERD TOO!
