skip james is one of, if not the, best blues singer/songwriters i've ever heard.
you rock swimmy.
edit)) i didn't even know that these video's existed, and i've never seen any of his stuff in the record store. the best stuff i've heard, before you posted the vid, was stuff i'd found on soulseek circa 1930. really poppy, fuzzy recordings (though that does lend them character). needless to say, i'm a pretty excited about this. thanks for the link, swimmy.
i knew that he was around in the 60's, doing BBC stuff, yet i never saw anything about the perfect quality videos. |
He's the best I've heard, but truth is I don't really know anything about the blues so that's not saying much.
Yeah the early recordings are great, especially the song you linked. I picked up some headphones to replace my crappy speakers about the time I discovered that, and went from hearing a little muttering to every last pop and crackle. And there always seems to be more recordings, is the best thing.
That game is Monty on the Run for the C64! It's kind of a terrible game but the music is so fucking good. That credit music at the end might be my Favorite Videogame Song.
Hey while we're at it here's the Commodore 64 orchestra performing the MotR theme. According to the notes Hubbard himself scored it.
Also what was acceptable and common behavior years ago can now be sexual harassment (NSFW).

This is a guy kite skiing down a mountain. |
That is, in all sincerity, the most x-treme thing I've seen on the internet. Also scary.
One never knows when a homosexual is about.
I kind of wonder how many of the videos I'm posting were posted in the old IC thread, but it's so long and filled with obscure links that I refuse to check, ok? In any case this is a PSA from the 50s about how homosexuals are evil and will try to kidnap and have sex with you if you are a young man. BOYS BEWARE!

I always thought that argument was funny. Here Michael Moore is getting the discussion on health care started, and I've been reading blogs, books, and mainstream news editorials discuss the topic for years. (And not a single one of them ever proposed that Cuba's health care system, of all places!, is worth anything but squat.)
In any case, be wary of the anecdotal evidence in Sicko. For instance, here Moynihan pretty handily pulls out a couple of cases that are exactly the same as Moore's, except in countries with nationalized health care.

| You can rightfully spill all the internet bile you want over the likes of Micheal Moore but the fact that he's managed to explain the issue (healthcare has been run by self interested corporations in American since the 1970s) in such a concise format does more for even putting the issue itself into the greater public mindspace than all the blogs and articles and editorials ever could. |
I think it's silly that Moore got away with making a movie on health care without once bringing up the moral hazard vs. adverse selection debate, let alone the ever-relevant RAND experiment. From the sound of what you got out of the movie, he didn't explain the issue very well at all. "The corporations done it!" is a pretty facile point of issue.
On the other hand, here we are discussing health care, so maybe you're right.

I can't believe I've never seen this before. John Cleese giving the eulogy at Graham Chapman's funeral:

Anyone want to explain what's going on here?
I know it's something awesome, but why those shapes specifically? Don't watch it with animals around, they reportedly go nuts.
