From the Book of Spend, chapter 4, verse 16.

Sorry. In particularly silly mood this A.M.

Apparently there's a whole album of mashups to go with this video. (torrent here)

It's comming right for me.
Stephen Colbert is wrong. It's not bears, it's YouTube that's destroying America.

Great video & music. I'd love to see where it was all taken from.

Song was cool, video was meh. But I guess I wouldn't have listened to it if it weren't for the video. So now I have to get the song.

It's just that a one link FPP to a YouTube video that was interesting, but not the best of the web killed my unkle.

Yes shnoz. Those one-link per letter posts are quite popular.

My point is summed up in the "!" link.

...Meaning that I watch them all. Doesn't everyone? But youTube/Google Video/et.al. starts grating on me almost (but not quite) as bad as hearing the latest Bush fiasco.
Most everyone likes videos, and I love Pink Floyd, and I "love" to hate Bush, but it's like if they didn't make downloading MP3's illegal and there were 2-8 posts a day linking someone elses favorite band. There are whole blogs for that, and not necessarily the best of the web.

Too bad that video is a thousand times better than any of the mashups on the album... Great stuff though. Makes me wish Brian Jonestown Massacre were still around. Or that more bands did that without having to be mashups...

I'm with ya shnoz.

Well, I liked it.

Nice, I'll be trying the whole album next.

Post style torches aside, I thought the video and mashup were dull and uninspired, as most mashups are.
posted by intermod at 11:47 AM on April 14, 2006

meh. as far as i'm concerned, the whole mashup thing began and ended with osymyso's "intro inspection". everything else is just a pale shadow of that great, great work of art.

For those of you who liked the Pink Floyd part of this track, hunt down the 'One of these Heatwaves' mashup by ccc. It's One of these Days mashed up with Katrina and the Waves 'Heatwave'.

Turn it up loud...

also, maybe it's just me, but that "!" link from schnoz seems to be written by Jean Teasdale's niece.

Dude, where is my bong.?

The album has way too much Beatles on it for my tastes. I realize that the theme is "Revolved", but goddamn. Classic rock does not equal Teh Beatles.

Since I don't want to go on an anti-Beatles rant here, I'll just close by saying I never realized until listening to this clip just how little I enjoy Mick Jagger's voice.
