A list of the obscure music that I listen to. The list is personal and may conflict with your preconceived ideas of obscure and music.

That is okay.

“Easy farhad. How can anything by new order be classed as obscure?
They were huge during the 80s. It's like saying the Beatles' Help is obscure

Anyway, good taste you have there”

Dusted is the joint venture of two producers, Rollo Armstrong (New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Faithless) and Mark Bates (Guy Ornadel). Dido, is Rollo's sister and provides backing vocals on this song.

"Always Remember to Respect Your Mother" is from the When We Were Young album released in 2000.

New Order is more influential. But they never made me happy like Simple Minds did.

I prefer Queen over the Beatles for the same reason.

They were OK but I always preferred New Order.

I saw this before an imax movie called "Avalanche". I absolutely love this short film.

(The music playing it in, if anyone wants to know and if it doesn't specify in the film, is called "Elegia" by New Order.)

While I am still very much a fan of adding category associations and category-filtering subsites (more on that in another blog post), I think pho3n1x's graduated submission throttling idea is the best so far in terms of keeping a reasonably sized queue.

With that said, one of the problems bound to be introduced by throttling is voter haste. Suppose you have a video or two you really want to submit but the queue, being at maximum capacity, accepts no new entries. You may then be compelled to give videos an up or down vote more hastily than you would otherwise.

In concurence with graduated submission throttling, I would also suggest that two new ordering algorithms be added to shakeit.php:

* Order by Most Interesting
* Order by Least Interesting

In this suggestion, 'Interesting' is a measure calculated by [aggregate vote value]/[number of page views]. This would address voter haste by allowing them to quickly identify the videos most likely to exit the queue one way or another.

Mashup of New Order's Blue Monday, and M.I.A.'s Bucky Done Gun (which is a fantastic song in itself). It comes together so well at 0:50, you'd think they were made for each other.
