I know that it is a total waste of my time. If it is not a mainstream or a popular artist/group with the in crowd of the sift a great song by an amazing artist gets no love.

Here is some information on Mr. Marr. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Marr

In the 10 years that I have participated in this community I have grown very tired of it’s current state. I think that I messaged dag a few years ago and described this site as a video crack(drug) site. Short and dumbed down videos. End of rant.

I was going to post this https://youtu.be/orECKh0dN3I next until I found the one I posted. It is a great song.

What a great song! The subtitles are all correct @eric3579

Great song but can only be watched on Vimeo (can't be viewed on the sift). Considered a dead video. This works in the states. If it works for you also may want to use it https://youtu.be/SVagGGIsqtI

A sad footnote, I just read that Phil Chevron died of cancer in 2013. He wrote some great songs like "Thousands are Sailing".

And "Rabinga", from the "Straight To Hell" soundtrack. That was a bizarre movie, with The Pogues, Joe Strummer, Courtney Love, Dennis Hopper, Grace Jones in a spaghetti western in Almeria, Spain.

Not a great song, a little heavy handed, but some fantastic visuals. Pikachu in the wasteland... haha.

I actually experienced something like the bit @1:24 a few weeks ago, while hiking in a national forest (in the fall, in New England). I whipped out my phone to snap a pic of a fern,and noticed that, despite being surrounded by absolute beauty, my S3 still pushes the saturation up on the display when I'm taking a picture. Everything was already so colorful that it was immediately noticeable, and gave me the horrible impression of facsimile. Very much the real version of that bit from the video.

Lots of tech shit is getting freaky lately.

When they jammed it out on stage, I doubt it was as succinct as radio / record version. But a lot of great songs tend to be written(or should I say discovered) in this kind of instant form, all of a sudden something just clicks, and it just feels natural, it's almost a subconscious processes. Especially if you've been jamming with people for a while, then you're all on the same wavelength, or same drugs as I'm sure anyone from the 60s will tell you.

Many bands most popular songs start off as a joke, such as Nirvana's Smells Like Teens Spirit, or Primus' Shakehands with Beef. Which is why you get a lot of one hit wonders. They've had their light bulb moments, but nobody really knows how it happens, so it can't be reproduced. (not to say that Nirvana or Primus are one hit wonders by any means).

I see parallels with song writing and inventing or engineering. A lot of the greatest inventions were eureka moments while most of the others were just plain old hard work by dedicated engineers. But it's usually the eureka moments that change the course of history.

That was amazing *promote

What a great song.

Great song Dag and congrats to Oritteropo.

At least read the lyrics peoples. Great song.

You did the right thing. That was great. Hadn't ever heard this one, and thanks for the lyrics.

Such a great song - and not even a parody. More of a homage.

Great song.
Aja Great album

I loved it. This video was in my Facebook feed earlier this week. I couldn't find another source and I couldn't sift it.. if anyone knows how we can embed facebook videos ?.. ah well. The most hilarious were the comments like 'great song, what is it ?' *facepalm

How excellent to see the crowd without smartphones and behaving.

Great song.

Actually, what is with that synth 2/3rds of the way through? Ha.

Great song:
Chris Isaak - Wicked Game. I heard it in the background.
