That was nice. Very energetic. We need more of these!!!

thanks for shoving it up choggs' ass aaronfr.....Yeah that was a stretch with China....as for France... if the children of north African muslims are a barometer for the brilliant idea to bring in cheap labor, then to have required them to become French citizens through a process that would make them proud, thankful, and energetic to become French, would have gone a long way to alleviate the stress of a nation now diluting the culture. Here in the U.S., brilliant thinking and lack of legislation and enforcement of existing laws, has brought the same dilution to America, who used to have a singularly unique culture, of immigrants who were excited to be American, rather than excited to be IN America, but not having to "become" American, with a sense of pride and nationalism.....




Most folks in the US, have enough cultural awareness to know, that letting Mexico osmose into America, is a pathetic trade-off economically, etc. Most Hispanics in this country that have naturalized through proper channels, are livid about the influx.....Come to America, retain your culture and heritage, yet become American, not Mexican-American

Learn the Language
Pay into the System
Build assets, and invest here.
Being American must be a pathetic prospect for most of the world and who can blame them....??


[however, the muslims never really integrated within the french society.]

Is this not a symptom of the same type of scenario?? Muslims have been a non-integrating element in England as well haven't they?? The fact that they were given citizenship for indentured labor doesn't really matter, they still never became French, in the true sense...(are not the French sticklers for preserving the language and culture?...they used to be)
Canadians do not let the children born on their soil, automatically become citizens....they saw Chinese doing it, and nuked that shit!!
No nation, if they want to remain a nation, should do this.
Wish we'd used a similar model, but powers have other things in store, for a once great Nation.
France was a once great nation, but they have been bitched slapped from without and within for so long, well,......the 3 countries that provided Iraq with most of their sheit, Nuclear power techs, WMD's (that, incidentally, were there and were moved), were France, Germany, and Russia.......

Why won't they be held accountable??? Because the bastards that are allowed to play games with humans, have governments by the short and curlies......

Eliminate hunger, educate evryone to get them up to speed with the 21st century, and get off the grid/teat by giving the cheap, and/or,free-energy technology that has existed
for decades, and watch a world change very drastically...
no war, no currency, no shit.

Cool stuff I didn't know from Wiki:

Clapton's guitar tone on the song, created using his Gibson SG guitar and a Marshall amplifier, is renowned among guitarists as perhaps the best example of his legendary late-'60s "woman tone", a thick yet articulate sound that many have tried to emulate. For the solo Clapton used the opening lines from the pop standard "Blue Moon", creating a contrast between the Moon and Sunshine in the two songs. The solo itself highlights the disparity, starting with long sustained notes from the memorable 1930s ballad and gradually altering each line until midpoint when the solo breaks out into a more energetic and somewhat typical guitar solo.

I don't know if it's kosher to post a "video" clip that's only of a picture, but I'm hoping the song can stand on its own.

Blue Rondo is from Time Out, which was an experimental album. The name of the album is a play on words based on the songs it contains, which have non-standard time signatures. Blue Rondo starts in 9/8, and continues on at an unusual tempo.

Although Take Five is the more well-known piece from Time Out, I enjoy this song for its looser fix on tempo and its overall energetic feel. I'm biased, though: this was also the first jazz piece I ever played.

Again rick you are making a lot of assumptions about things he may have/should have experienced and that should have helped him see the light. He was born and grew up in a time that was very very different and I don't think its fair to say you or me know the facts that surround the making of this video. I can however read and find out as much as I can about the why the episode was created and make a judgement which you may or may not agree with.

A quote from this bob clampett site:

Coal Black is one of the clearest explorations and illustrations of this break with the Disney tradition. Rather than ignore the dominance of Disney's feature production it is a very deft, energetic and controversial parody of Snow White that illustrates the brevity, visual rhythm and rapid-fire pacing of the studio's best work (15). Nevertheless, it is probably more accurately viewed as a riff on rather than a parody of Disney's film. Unlike much of the Disney studio's work, Coal Black is a raunchy, contemporary, extreme and shockingly racist film (the racism of many Disney films is often less up-front and more cloying). It updates the Disney story to a contemporary war-time setting in which Queenie calls in Murder Inc. “to black out So White”, and to stop her from stealing the zoot-suited Prince Chawmin'. This is a cartoon widely regarded as a masterpiece in absentia, a seldom seen product of the sexual mores and ethnic stereotyping of its time. Nevertheless, many writers understandably go out of their way to both underline the ideological problems of the film – especially for contemporary audiences – and its extraordinary energy and vibrant style as a truly animated cartoon. As Terry Lindvall and Ben Fraser suggest:

Coal Black's brazenness earned the film much of its notoriety, but even as shocking as it is for its racial content, the aesthetic and musical brilliance, the unabashed raunchiness, and the pure cartooniness salvage it as a masterpiece for most audiences, even some black audiences (16).

But Gwaan it's impossible to force people to change , I mean look at Bill Hicks, it took forever for him to break state side even though he spoke sense. And before he got the chance to really say something he was gone. Same with Jimi Hendrix who became popular in Europe before the States.

People. They just ain't ready. Maybe it's education maybe it's something else. All I know is that a certain world view cannot be imprinted on a certain populace. Here's hoping to another time America will hopefully wake up like they did post Vietnam, let's see if it holds up. Something is happening I don't know what, but the process feels energetic.

"I've always wanted the string quartet to be vital, and energetic, and alive, and cool, and not afraid to kick ass and be absolutely beautiful and ugly if it has to be. But it has to be expressive of life. To tell the whole story with grace and humor and depth. And to tell the whole story, if possible."

– David Harrington from Kronos

The Kronos Quartet commissions a lot of new music and takes a lot of chances. I can't say that I love everything that they do, but they are usually interesting.

Can I *spam this or chuck this viral-garbage nuvo-marketing crap from SiftTalk??!!!

MADRID -- Driving to become one of Spain's most powerful film/TV groups, DeAPlaneta has just moved up a couple of gears with higher-profile acquisitions and a raft of new productions.

The new aggression coincides with the appointment of the energetic Alvaro Zapata, former VP of Buena Vista Intl. in Spain, as DeAPlaneta executive prexy.

DeAPlaneta purchased a controlling stake in Spanish broadcaster Antena 3 in April 2003. The latest expansion confirms it as one of the fastest-growing film and TV companies in Europe.

As a producer of film (DeAPlaneta PC) and TV (TV moviemaker Prodigius Audiovisual), DeAPlaneta's key competitive advantages lie in its distribution reach and -- for Spain -- higher-end muscle.

Launched in 2000 by two big European publishers and long-term partners, Spain's Planeta Group and Italy's DeAgostini Group, DeAPlaneta initially grew cautiously, establishing a theatrical distribution op, (DeAPlaneta Distribucion), a video distrib arm (SAV) and a kids distribution and merchandising division (Planeta Junior).

So you are pointing everyone to some crappy "scary video" crap put out by a Barcelona wanna-be disney! Oooookah..

In case you are wondering, it is a Japanese film re-visioned by Wes Craven..
Pulse (2006)
Directed by Jim Sonzero

Writing credits (WGA)
Wes Craven (screenplay) and
Ray Wright (screenplay)
Kiyoshi Kurosawa (2001 screenplay Kairo)

I went to Vegas the past couple summers and always took the time to watch the fountains at night. This song has one of the better choreography than others. It's amazing...calm and soothing, yet energetic.

Half of me wants to laugh and half of me remembers how I looked at fourteen years old, doing an energetic running man while wearing a polka-dot shirt.

"So is that damaging to your ears? Or do only high pitched sounds do significant damage?"

Damage to your (inner) ear occurs when enough energy is transferred to your hair cells, causing them to break.

A loud low sound like in this video has a low frequency (pitch) and a high amplitude (volume). As sound is just a displacement of air, at low enough frequencies with high amplitude it would basically just be a gust of wind (as you can clearly see).
The energy in a wave depends on its frequency and amplitude, imagine the hairs just swaying about 1 time per second..no big deal.
  15000 times per second however, all the while swaying just as far, the stress would cause them to break.
High-energetic waves have the potential to do more damage, just think of visible light ("low" frequency) and x-rays (high frequency). Even ultraviolet light, which is just beyond the visible light in frequency, can cause skin cancer.

A low sound that blows your hair about won't damage your inner ear.
Lower sounds could theoretically kill the hairs but your eardrum would sooner rupture..ouch?
The basic rule probably should be, if it hurts turn down your volume down to about 30% of that volume : S long term higher frequency exposure is a bitch.

Obama doesn't have the machine behind him yet and the netroots are tepid. I think those are his biggest obstacles right now. Bush and Clinton weren't really all that seasoned or substantial, but I suppose that you could argue that they ran a state (even though the governor of Texas is largely ceremonial).

Obama needs to use the Clinton playbook -- young, energetic, charismatic, exciting -- and hope that the left wing of the Dem Party provides token support to Kucinich rather than to someone with more staying power like Edwards, Clinton, or Clark.

Sadly, Kucinich is persistently abused, spat out, and crushed by the Gang of 500. He was an amazing mayor of Cleveland.

And since you lean Red . . .Will John McCain get a pass from the Dobsonites? Or is the Republican nomination now Mitt Romney's to lose?

i wanted to like this, but, yeah... not feeling it. not nearly energetic or fun enough. sounds like an old person covering radiohead.


i just remembered the first thing i ever heard by death cab for cutie (6 years ago, jeez) was a live cover of 'all is full of love' by bjork. thats an interesting and energetic cover to look around for.

Ohhh and I nearly forgot:
See Hindenburg: The Giant Matchstick
The Facts on the Hindenburg Disaster:
1. The bags of hydrogen that provided the lifting force for the Hindenburg were NOT the main contributor to the fire. The surface of the ship was coated with a combination of dark iron oxide and reflective aluminum paint. These components are extremely flammable and burn at a tremendously energetic rate once ignited. The skin of the airship was ignited by electrical discharge from the clouds while docking during an electrical storm. This reaction has been proven chemically for years, and was demonstrated with actual remnants of the Hindenburg sixty years later, which burned as vigorously as on the day of the disaster.
2. The hydrogen burned quickly, safely, above the occupants. When the escaping hydrogen was ignited by the burning skin of the airship, it burned far above the airship, and was completely consumed within 60 seconds of the ignition. During this period of time, the airship descended to the ground from the 150-foot docking tower.
3. Almost all deaths were caused by jumping or falling from the airship. Of the 35 deaths from the disaster, 33 were caused by jumping or falling. Only two deaths were caused by burning, and it is likely that those two were from proximity to the burning skin of the airship, or from the stores of diesel fuel that were ignited by the covering. Whereas the hydrogen burned within one minute of ignition, the diesel fires burned for up to ten hours after the ignition.
4. The Hindenburg would have burned if it had been filled with inert helium gas. Even if the Hindenburg had not been lifted by hydrogen, the ignition of the covering would still have happened, and would then have set ablaze the diesel stores, resulting in the same disaster.
5. The main cause of the disaster was pilot error. The only way to prevent the disaster would have been if the pilot had chosen to land in better conditions elsewhere, which was very feasible, considering he had had enough fuel remaining to reach all the way to California.

Buddy Holly


Buddy Holly played rock and roll for only two short years, but the wealth of material he recorded in that time made a major and lasting impact on popular music. Holly was an innovator who wrote his own material and was among the first to exploit such advanced studio techniques as double-tracking. He pioneered and popularized the now-standard rock-band lineup of two guitars, bass and drums. In his final months, he even began experimenting with orchestration. Holly's catalog of songs includes such standards of the rock and roll canon as "Rave On," "Peggy Sue," "That'll Be the Day," Oh Boy!" and "Maybe Baby." Though Holly lacked the arresting sexuality of Elvis Presley, he nonetheless cut an engaging, charismatic figure with his trademark horn-rimmed glasses and vocal hiccup. His creative self-reliance and energetic, inspired craftsmanship prefigured the coming wave of rock and rollers in the Sixties. Holly was a professed influence on the Beatles and Hollies (both of whom derived their names from his). Even the Rolling Stones had their first major British hit with Holly's "Not Fade Away."
