Prof de la Paz's picture

Many have posted musical videos all over Devon's beloved tribal gathering place, but they were scattered all over.
That we might enjoy a centralized location where we can sample some of the best, I invite you to post them here.

It's fairer to state sooner rather than later that as the originator of this thread I will exercise my own discretion and delete whatever displeases me for any or no reason. My tastes are broad and catholic so I expect I won't expunge much unless there is an epidemic of Death-Metal-Fuck-the-World-I-Hate-My-Parents crap showing up. Thanks to the Chief and thanks to Khomar for technical guidance, in particular for showing us how to compact these entries and "hot-key" the titles.

Boooooo Roger Waters

Yay David Gilmour

SCButterfly's picture

All righty then got one for ya

One of my all time favorite lyrics:

Pete Townshend-Give Blood
Gilmour!
They all kill this song especially the drummer and bassist.

stick's picture

Gilmour is my favorite guitarist.

Petey...well....after his whole "oh I was just looking at child porn for research" thing doesn't really sit right with me. Then I remembered The Who's song "Rough Boys" and I was like...oh well this makes sense now.

P.S. My favorite Floyd album is Momentary Lapse of Reason...sadly Mr. Roger Waters was not invited to be present for that one....haha suck it Roger.

You better be careful

You keep talking like that and Swamp Fox may lay some Syd on ya. And do we really need to do that to ourselves? ;)

Solsbury Hill (Live)

brightdrrkness's picture

a little guilty pleasure of mine...

lots of nights a massive use of tetrahydrocannabinol and Methylenedioxymethamphetamine with this song playing on the sterio...haha

September-Cry for You (You'll Never See Me Again)

krmaya---I like these ladies would you consider this hip hop? (sorry I'm not very good at labeling contemporary genres.Another question..unless you were completely BSing. How do you deal with the addictive quality of Methylenedioxymethamphetamine? I only have one peer my age that has tried it. She had a very wild and fun youth. She told me that when she was fishing in Alaska that there were a few of her crew friends who took some and she said it was the best high she ever had to date, however they were all so miserably sick that she said if she could she would have took more and never came down just to avoid the let down. After that none of them ever wanted to touch it again. I'm really curious. I never get to talk to anyone else who's done it that is isn't a recovering addict and obviously doesn't give a great report.

bright---addictive? eh of course when your on it you want more. Ive vomited everytime i did it. Then the sickness is over. Kinda of a depressive hangover the next day. " best high she ever had to date" ...yup pretty much.

The Disco Biscuits - Caterpillar>

krmaya---Disco Biscuits!? That's my kinda food....mmmm and I like the sound.

bright---the extended version is better...and much longer. Limewire it...er whatever P2P network or torrenting program you use.

krmaya---DO you have a torrenting program you recommend? Limewire downloading shutdown my computer 2x in a year I won't use it.

bright---
i use bittorrent...though i warn you virus' appear in many things regardless of program. Risk reward kinda thing.

if you have an email i can send you the file directly...

If you haven't caught it yet...

Pink - Glitter In The Air

She was quoted after that as saying if she can do THAT while holding a microphone and singing that there's no excuse for any performer to lip-sync.

I'd have to agree.

I find myself listening to this on a daily basis.

Iron and Wine - Such Great Heights

This is the original version which you may remember from the USPS whiteboard commercial.
[ Excellent stuff! Thank you! A sweet tune, brilliantly wrought, & the latter version accompanied by magnificent,heroic, pro-tech video. I'm not sure what it has to do with the postal monopoly... but I like it. ]

mdaviatx----When I Think of You

Devon_Saunders's picture

Fit this in somewhere....

Black Eyed Peas--- Meet Me Halfway
I think it's because I dig the vid... ~shrug~

[ It fits right here, and grazi, mon ami. It is an inventive and engaging video and a sweet tune. - Prof ]

[Nice choice, Devon.Too pretty to go with my stuff.]

~Edited~ It was for you Kat... Not to get all Hallmark and crap but you know as well as I do that life really happens all in the middle of things, not in the extremes. The song is about the middle and all of our parts being greater than the mere sum of them... or that is how I took it. But what would I know... :P~

[ Thank you, Devon. You know a lot and I know what's up with things, too. ]

Devon_Saunders's picture

Not damsel...

Gaia.

They did well on the symbology and I don't want to read any more into it than that.

Just a meeting in the middle, where both sides have stretched themsleves as far as they are personally willing to go.

Prof knows of what I speak.

On an off note, you notice that the two brothers have it going well, the damsel is doing fine.. and they take the natvie american and throw him into the sun.

Wtf....lol.
