Title: You Don’t Mess Around
Song: You Don’t Mess Around with Jim
Fandom: Breaking Bad
Artist: Jim Croce
Vidder: ricestorm
Warnings: spoilers through 1.07 A No Rough-Stuff-Type-Deal.
Summary: A study of supply chain power dynamics in the Albuquerque methamphetamine industry.
Notes: I started this after re-watching season 1 right before the premiere, and then got sidetracked by pesky life stuff. :P I've been wanting to do a BB video for a while now--not only is the show fantastic, but it's damn beautiful--but instead of highlighting all of the tension and drama apparently my creative juices constantly yearn for silliness. Ah well. Enjoy!

Yeah, I'm still on your flist.

Have a great 2009!

...That's it, really.  Or not.


Also wik: Kathy Griffin/Anderson Cooper.

"Can I get a pap smear from Dr. Sanjay Gupta?"

"It's like [Erica Hill] has had work done, but she hasn't had work done-"
"Anderson!  That's worse than me saying Ryan Seacrest got shot!"

"You're part of the best political team on TV, who's like, third string?"

"Have you ever caught David Gergen nodding off a little bit?  Has Jack Cafferty gotten so mad he's literally just punched Wolf in the face?"

"Wolf, are you with Suzie the drag queen?"
"I don't need to see that on TMZ again."

I think Kathy's like a closet pundit slasher or something.

YouTube suspended one of my videos, Passing the Hat, for copyright violation.  Not because I was swiping NBC's Heroes footage, but because I was swiping a Cold War Kids song.  ...Alright.  CWK's label probably brought it up, but isn't YT supposed to look out for NBC's intellectual property too?  Ah well, I ain't complaining.

They said I could use the Audioswap feature to look for legal, public domain-ish replacement audio for the video.  So at first I started looking for amusing music--there was a song called "Badass" by a band called "Rookie", which was hilariously coincidental because it was Claude/Bennet but I didn't like the punk sound, and it was too short.  Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 worked eerily well.   But in the end I just deleted it, figuring that if YT reviewed it again they might realize I was stealing from NBC. 

You can still watch the original here at imeem or sendspace, if you care at all.

Title: The Company (Heroes' retro cop show titles)
Song: Blockbuster
Artist: Rhythm Heritage
Vidder: ricestorm
Warnings: spoilers through season 2.
Summary: Primatech's very own mod squad! Because we all wish Heroes was a lot more like Pootie Tang.

A silly idea I had while waiting for the bus last summer. Had to wait until I had the skillz to do it though :P But it came out to be very amusing, which is the least I could ask for.

Happy Birthday pamalax !!

Oh my God.  Watch this now: "Skin" - Casino Royale video by chasarumba  You have to download it, but seriously, it's worth repeat viewings.  It's almost impossible that it's fan-made.  Wow.
