A simple challenge of musical fortitude

I can’t get this tune out of my head now. So I warn you, if you don’t want catchy, funny things rattling around your brain all day, do not watch this clip…

Kiss From a Rose, With a New Twist

Seth — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:39:52 +0000

I’ve always liked this song for some reason. I remember the summer of 1995. I had my first “real” job, waiting tables for the lunch crowd at The Crazy Tomato, then heading to “West Side Story” rehearsal. My car had no air conditioning, so after driving in the late afternoon heat, I’d get to practice looking like I’d just finished swimming. This song was on what might have been the most memorable mixed tape I’ve ever had. It had Seal’s ‘Kiss from a Rose’ on it, so every time I hear that song, I think of that dorky summer.

In YouTube surfing, I came across this little kid TEARING UP THE GUITAR with this version.

Good Game Trailers II

I apparently like game trailers with interesting music choices, like in my first post like this. This is an old one, but now, after starting watching House, I remembered this one. If you know the show, you’ll probably know why.

Do you like this one? What trailers stick with you?

The Final Literal Video, Under the Bridge

Unless this guy starts producing more of these, I’ve now posted them all. Regan said last night that she wished she knew more people that appreciated them, so she could share them, and I agree. I don’t know exactly who appreciates these versus who doesn’t, but if you like them, please leave a comment and let me know.

My favorite is still the A-Ha one, but that might be just because it’s the first one I watched.

Chess at North High School: The Trailer

My brother, Canyon, will be in CHESS tonight at North High School in Evansville. I’m going and can’t wait to see him. My buddy, Chris Tyner, is directing, and from everything I’ve seen so far, it looks like it will be quite a show. Here’s a trailer that’s bouncing around the internet now.

Good Game Trailers

I like them. Epic has done a great job with their Gears of War ads. I was showing Angie last night and she liked them, too. I took that as a sign that they were a little more than an average gameplay trailer, especially since Gears is NOT her type of game. The first one, with Gary Jules remake of the Tears for Fears song, “Mad World”:

And then for Gears of War 2, they used DeVotchKa’s “How It Ends”:

Do you like these? Would you buy a game, or look INTO buying a game, after seeing an ad like these?

Flickr, and Its Freedoms

I’ve really started to like more and more of Jonathan Coulton’s work as I listen to more. In his "Thing a Week" project, one of his songs became a video production when he said he learned he could use Flickr images with no sort of legal ramifications.

Here is Jonathan Coulton’s "Flickr":
