Hey everybody, I want to do a radio show in the next few weeks comprised of videos, which would be a video stream as well as a radio show. Can you suggest online videos where BOTH the music and the visuals are really great?
I have a degree in Video Production for the Advertising and Music Industries (music videos, basically). This sounds like music to my ears! and eyes! I'll start with the obvious ones, Lemon Jelly - nice weather for ducks www.youtube.com... Aphex Twin - Windowlicker www.youtube.com... there's many brilliant Bjork videos, I prefer Pagan Poetry.
I'm probably being too mainstream for WFMU tho...
Great idea! Here is my suggestion of some great music/visuals:
2080 - My Megadrive (remix by Satanicpornocultshop)
Messer Fur Frau Muller - best Girl in the USSR
Dan Deacon - Crystal Cat
Negativland - Guns (Now) - edited by Silver Persinger
Clerkenwell Boy - Bath Time in Clerkenwell
Jason Forrest - Raunchy
Omo - Oversized
Dick El Demasiado - Comercial Gracias a Dios
Tom Waits - Hell Broke Luce (Sesame Street Version)
I'm sure you've seen Neil Cicierega's YouTube of "Crocodile Chop"; the illusion that SOAD is actually singing that is amazing. I'm hoping he'll make a clips video to go with his "Psycho"-"Love Shack" mashup too.
As to Negativland, their "Drink It Up" (which I 1st heard on your little radio station ~15 yrs. ago) is fair in terms of video and cute in terms of lyrics. Others have made videos to go with their "Christianity Is Stupid", and some of those videos are pretty good, but the original audio is only so-so. So not sure either meet your "really great" criterion, but tastes can differ.
Yes, videos with good music AND good video for a forthcoming Radio as a Visual Medium Show. List as many as you can right here.. I will check them all out.
You Mad Mr Ken...This Radio NOT video...Video is in our heads!!!!

You could plumb movie clips. The closing montage of "Gangs of New York" has good audio & great video, though it may be a bit short for you. The opening credits montage of the Watchmen movie was the best part of the whole film, and was independently produced.
Request for today :) Some norwegian music. A band called The Low Frequency in Stereo. www.youtube.com...

Want some cute "outsider" footage? Poopy Lungstuffing's upside-down YouTube of one of her early tries at Irish bouzouki, "All Through The Night", is adorable, and FAIK may be closer to the original composition than Lauper's version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb4oUoxjULo
Yes Henry, I've heard that YouTube also has a few music videos on it. Can you suggest any specific videos that have both good audio and video quality?

Robert:
The Rotoscoped passage of a distorted Cab Calloway singing "St. James Infirmary" in "Snow White" is superb, although the entire cartoon is pretty good.
There's an amateur wedding video set to hip music made by one of those bad taste but ironic musicians kids of today listen to. He makes pitchfork kind of music so when they told me his name I made some effort of not remembering his name. And it worked!

Luh dis song Ken! Thanks, caffiene is trickling in now. XOXO
Ken, your request for music/video reminded me of a time when I walked into a bar to see a muted TV playing Gregory Hines and Mikhail Barishnikov dancing in "White Nights" while The Beatles "Twist and Shout" played on the jukebox, it meshed well.

I live in a world that is continually creating itself.
What I'd really go for would be footage of the nightly synchronized fountain, lights, and fireworks show from the 1964-5 NY World's Fair WITH THE ORIGINAL MUSIC, but all I find of it in a brief search are home movies without the ambient sound and very brief publicity cuts with barely a few secs. of it.
duck butter....ROCKIN HARD IN THE WORLDS FACE!!!!
an amazing mix of first wave punk and first wave disco!!!!
Like everything I've have done....NO RADIO PLAY.....OF COURSE!!! We all make Duck Butter for the Love of it!!!!
There's almost wheat whisky, which can be good. Where it gets confusing is that in Canada whisky can be called "rye" even when there is little to no rye in there, actually I think corn is often prevalent
dc pat, I've looped "Mouth Silence" (which includes that Alley Cat-Born to Run mashup, not "Mouth Sounds"), for hours -- which isn't that many times thru, it's like a 2-sided LP. It is that good, and mesmerizing. It's on soundcloud/neilcic .
10:01am
P-90:
Before the use of modern methods of storing and handling grain, rye would sometimes contain appreciable quantities of lysergic acid compounds, which could turn up in concentrated form in the whiskey, imparting an extra "kick"
I hope it contains no BGH (bovine growth hormone).

Robert:
GBL mixed with water tastes a lot like bourbon. It gives a "high" similar to but in some ways nicer than that from booze. No need to take GHB, which just gives you a totally superfluous shot of sodium with it.
There has been speculation that "St. Vitus Dance" of the Middle Ages might have been as a result of ergot intoxication. Or perhaps it was just too much exposure to "American Pie", at high volume.
10:07am
Robert:
No, Ken, "Mouth SILENCE".
10:07am
Robert:
"Mouth Sounds" was his previous long montage of mashups.
The 1st 10 mins. or so of "Mouth Silence" drags a bit, but after that it's got a lot of single-cut equivalents that are stunning. I'm afraid I've already spoiled upthread what "Love Shack" was mashed up with, but if you don't know it, you'll do a spit take after the 1st bar when the music comes in, it's that hilarious.
ah, Bathtime in Clerkenwell...classic. My kids love this tune/video. What film is that gif from? It's not Withnell and I. How to Get Ahead In Advertising?

Ken,
SSD shows from 2006 were all great in general. Even the most failed trainwrecks from that year are outstanding compared to any of the 2014 bad shows. Just choose one at random.
And told you that you could freely crib from it for your station? Maybe you should write in at the bottom to not shit on people's shows right after they've helped you out. Just a thought.
i have only really shat on the 3 hour bohemian crapsody debacle. i was only saying that one song out of the numerous on today's show made me hallucinate all kinds of demons and monsters and caused a partial epileptic seizure in both of my dogs. that's all
@Asheville Jon: Really, you shouldn't challenge Ken about the Bohemian Rhapsody show. I you get him riled up he might make a show of American Pie covers. Which would only be enjoyable if there's video of Andy forced to listen to the full thing (tie him, but don't gag him)

I still remember the Blue Danube Waltz marathon. Fondly!
I have an aversion to years ending in 7. No idea what that's about. All 1996, I thought 97 is going to be terrible. 97 was terrible. Got a feeling 2017 is going to suck, too.

If I make chip tune version of the ssd intro, will you annoy Andy with it?

When I worked in a music shop that sold CDs (anyone remember those things called "Compact Discs"?) I had a co-worker that only bought albums based on the last number of the Chinese year. So if it was Monkey Year -say it ended in 8- he would then go on a shopping spree to buy any album made in a year that ended in 8. He didn't mind the genre and thus his salary ended up buying a lot of crap.
I leave the tv volume on 29 or 31 because it annoys my SO. Sometimes I leave it on 30, let it fade from the screen, then turn it down 1 notch. I can hear her sigh every time.
now for something completely different: did anyone hear WILL SHORTZ on npr this past w'end? 1 question in his game was "companion of KEN". the answer had to be 2 words, first being "ba..." and second as "d...". but all i could think of was ANDY BRECKMAN.

Let's keep talking about numbers, people! It's so much fun! Did I tell you about my fixation with number 9? If you turned it upside down it becomes a 6! Although a fake 6.
OTOH, the Exene-ish woman also looks like Lois Graham, ex of Terry Graham, drummer for The Bags, The Gun Club, et al. But I don't think Lois ever wore her hair that long. (She was a hair stylist, too.)

Anyway, I hope we will still have SSD for another 10 years from now. Andy seemed very strange to me last week show. He had no trouble recalling the 'new' phone number...TWICE! And he even *felt genuinely sorry* for a listener that was put on hold for too long!!! I hope everything is OK between Ken and Andy and SSD hasn't lost its will to live!!!

We are prepared to answer all your questions, the Mayor had us all take a special class.
Andy's certainly not as edgy as he used to be. But it depends on his mood. Some weeks he's ornery and hostile and very funny, other weeks he's mellow and polite, and still pretty funny. I think he still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
