  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 and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. 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.

The sad story of the World's Largest Record Collection

submitted by arvana

Paul Mawhinney spent his life collecting over 3 million records, and has been trying to sell his archive before he dies, but nobody wants it.

That's so horrible.. I hope someone picks it up and gives these records proper archival care..

hip hop producer saves the day

Sad. I've been to a lot of antique stores and records are one of the most worthless things in the shop. Nobody even bothers to browse them.
He needs to find a museum willing to archive them rather than expecting someone to come along and buy. Or he could talk to Moby.

That guy very succinctly said about the sound of vinyl what I have been failing to communicate to people I know. Fine! Call me a vinyl snob.... but you don't know what you're missing unless you actually listen to one.

I've been collecting vinyl and '78s for years now, but I'm way more picky since it's my own private collection... my collection is only just now breaking a thousand.... but if it's worth listening to I'll make a digital transfer to preserve the grooves on the records. Very human, the record.
