Peter Schilling - Major Tom
FUCK this song is awesome, in a totally not ironic way.
Standing there alone,
the ship is waiting.
All systems are go.
"Are you sure?"
Control is not convinced,
but the computer
has the evidence.
No need to abort.
The countdown starts.
Watching in a trance,
the crew is certain.
Nothing left to chance,
all is working.
Trying to relax
up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink."
jokes Major Tom.
The count goes on...
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home...
Second stage is cut.
We're now in orbit.
Stabilizers up,
runnning perfect.
Starting to collect
requested data.
"What will it affect
when all is done?"
thinks Major Tom.
Back at ground control,
there is a problem.
"Go to rockets full."
Not responding.
"Hello Major Tom.
Are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on.
We're standing by."
There's no reply.
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home...
Across the stratosphere,
a final message:
"Give my wife my love."
Then nothing more.
Far beneath the ship,
the world is mourning.
They don't realize
he's alive.
No one understands,
but Major Tom sees.
"Now the light commands
this is my home,
I'm coming home."
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming home...
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming, coming
home...
home.
Standing there alone,
the ship is waiting.
All systems are go.
"Are you sure?"
Control is not convinced,
but the computer
has the evidence.
No need to abort.

U.S. Marines
This used to come on all the time when I was a kid. I guess I never realized how batshit crazy it really is. +8 Charisma for laser-beam platform and lava dragon.

KUTIMAN - Thru You
Kutiman took an eon remixing clips from youtube into absolute gems (see above example).
Please visit http://thru-you.com/ and check out his work.
It's a definite game changer and really great social commentary concerning sampling...

Emergency Broadcast Network
That Johann Soderberg post made me think of Emergency Broadcast Network.
I remembered seeing them provide visuals and do a few intermission sets
with DJ Spooky at Fitzgerald's in Houston. They put on a really amazing show.
Johan Söderberg
Söderberg carefully edits found footage to juxtapose the disparity between what you see and what you hear. The first video, for example, uses an early recording of a church sermon to look like a rave.

Poinson Clan - Dance All Night
I know Javier at 53 o's already posted this back in October, but I really love everything about this video. The rap is great, too. And I don't mean it ironically.
