Flyleaf is an alternative rock band from Belton, Texas with distribution in both the mainstream rock and Christian radio markets.[2] The band and its members have previously played under several names including Listen, Sporos, The Grove, and Passerby. They became the most prominent in Texas under Passerby, but due to legalities, the name was changed to Flyleaf after they were signed. "A flyleaf is the blank page at the front of a book," explains Lacey Mosley, Flyleaf's vocalist. "It's the dedication page, the place you write a message to someone you're giving a book to. And, that's kind of what our songs are — personal messages that provide a few moments of clarity before the story begins."

The Dandy Warhols - Get Off
"The Portland, Oregon Warhols are strongly influenced by The Velvet Underground and The Rolling Stones as well as including implicit musical references to Jethro Tull and My Bloody Valentine in some songs. Frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor describes the band beginning as a group of friends who "needed music to drink to." The band performed live shows in bars throughout Portland and released their first album, Dandy's Rule OK? in 1995. This album was instrumental in Capitol Records' decision to sign the band."

Eels--Flyswatter
"Eels (also sometimes eels or EELS, depending on the album) are an American rock band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as Mr. E or simply E. He is the frontman of the band, calling Eels a vessel for his music. Other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage. Live shows include new material, interpretations of older songs, and usually some well-known covers."

Carter USM - Anytime Anyplace Anywhere
Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine (frequently shortened to 'Carter USM') were formed in 1987 by singer Jim "Jim Bob" Morrison and guitarist Les "Fruitbat" Carter. Playing along to tapes, samples, sequenced basses and drum machines as well as rock 'n' roll guitars they would be referred to as 'The Punk Pet Shop Boys', and travelled around Europe in a small hire car playing for petrol money on the pub and club circuit, where they built up a small but loyal following.
ACE, as we used to say when I was 14... enjoy

Pop Will Eat Itself - Wise Up Sucker
Have another from teh Poppies..
"The band honed their songwriting skills with a string of catchy two-minute pop songs released on EPs both as Wild and Wandering and Pop Will Eat Itself. With the help of DJ John Peel, these EPs saw some airplay and enjoyed some popularity among university students. After the band feared they had accomplished all they could with their sound, they found new influences in hip hop acts such as the Beastie Boys, Run DMC and Public Enemy. Graham soon dropped the drum sticks for a mic and was replaced by a drum machine called "Dr. Nightmare." Their style continued to develop with classics such as "There Is No Love Between Us Anymore' and the anthemic "Def Con One". As a result, PWEI were signed to major label RCA and they achieved top 40 hits with "Can U Dig It?" and "Wise Up! Sucker" off the album This Is the Day…This Is the Hour…This Is This!"

Mr. Bungle- Quote Unquote
Have a lump of the Bungle.
Extremely rare promotional video for "Travolta" (aka Quote Unquote)from the first album.
"Stage Antics
More so than other Mike Patton related projects, Mr. Bungle was known for their terrifying stage shows, where Patton would wear a gimp mask and Trevor Dunn would donn a blue dress and pigtails while headbanging maniacally. The presentation of the band on stage has sometimes been close to a realization of Antonin Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty in the musical domain. This was particularly felt at the live shows during the "Disco Volante" era. The shows for the "California" tours, while still involving various members wearing masks and dressing up, were no longer showing evidence of Artaud's influence."

Numa Numa
Have the "classic" meme that is Numa Numa with Gary Brolsma
"A Flash-based video of now twenty-year-old American Gary Brolsma (born July 7, 1986) lip-synching the song energetically on his webcam brought the Numa Numa phenomenon to the US (video). Brolsma has stated that he first discovered the song in the Japanese flash animation [1].
Brolsma first published his "Numa Numa Dance" on the Newgrounds site on December 6, 2004. Since then it has popped up on hundreds of other websites and blogs, and he has made appearances on ABC's Good Morning America, NBC's The Tonight Show and VH1's Best Week Ever.
Brolsma is a resident of the state of New Jersey and is reportedly not happy with his fame [2], although he has created tweaked versions of the video since it became popular (see below). According to The New York Times, Brolsma has become an "unwilling and embarrassed Web celebrity." Brolsma has stopped taking phone calls from the media; he canceled an appearance on NBC's Today Show on February 17, 2005, and he did not cooperate with The New York Times for their February 26, 2005 article about him.

New York Times article (February 26, 2005) about Gary Brolsma and the Numa Numa dance.
A story in The Believer (June/July 2006) explores the song's spread and global homogenization, while arguing that Brolsma's video "singlehandedly justifies the existence of webcams . . . It’s a movie of someone who is having the time of his life, wants to share his joy with everyone, and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks."
One version of Brolsma's video also contains some puns, among them pictures of "feta cheese" during the lyric "fericirea" ("happiness") and a LEGO representation of Bob Ross during the singer's words: "sunt eu Picasso" ("it's me, Picasso").
Another common misconception is that Gary is Dutch, as the video showed up on several sites with the title "Funny Fat Dutch Boy". This is not true as he is in fact an American and the song itself Romanian.
In the popular Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft, the Tauren character's dance is a replication of the Numa Numa dance."

Frank Black - Los Angeles
"There are people who hate this song, but they just so happen to coincide exactly with the people whose opinions don't count. A strange mix of Black's fantastic pop song-writing skills and cheesy hard rock parody. Fake drumstick-pointing headbanging hairmetal band! Creepy Fu Manchu Frank! Personal hovercraft Frank! What's not to like?"

Jethro Tull - Bourree (French TV 1969)
Jethro Tull, an old favourite of mine... enjoy.
"Jethro Tull is a rock band that formed in Blackpool, England in the 1960s. Their music is marked by the quirky vocal style and unique lead flute work of frontman Ian Anderson and by unusual and often complex song construction. Their music, though starting with blues rock with an experimental flavour, has incorporated elements of classical, Celtic folk music, and art rock. Anderson has attributed the marked difference between their music and the music of their contemporaries to the group's avoidance of narcotics. While other music groups did influence them in their early years, they quickly developed a unique, instantly recognisable sound."
They're named after Jethro Tull, inventer of teh Seed Drill. . .see not only do we entertain here, we enlighten also

Pitman video 2
MC Pitman.... fabulous..
"MC Pitman is the comic creation of one Styly Cee, a hip hop producer and performer from the city of Nottingham in England's East Midlands.
Supposedly a miner from the town of Coalville in Leicestershire, he raps morosely in a distinct regional accent about many aspects of modern life, from his distaste for celebrity worship and traffic congestion, to his great affection for tea and biscuits. His most extreme polemic however is targeted at Mike Skinner aka The Streets. Pitman often adapts well known rap hits. Hence "Witness the Fitness" by Roots Manuva became "Witness the Pitness" (like the original song produced by Lord Gosh), while Run-DMC's "Sucker MCs" was recast as "Sugar On Ya Peas". His first album It Takes A Nation of Tossers was released in 2003 by Son Records. It also included a cover version of LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out", called "Mam Sed". Its follow-up, Pit Closure, appeared in November 2004."

Stewie Plays The Banjo - video powered by Metacafe
Have a little Family Guy
DAMN YOU VILE WOMAN!
WORDS! ZOMG!
Sooo slapped up quite a few videos to entertain and tittilate so far.
Still not a vast amount of folk poking their heads in but the Blogs only been up a couple of days.
Initially intended to only post really REALLY crap and embarresing videos but stumbled on far too many of my old favourites, I'll let you decide which is which, so the direction has changed a little already.
May also look to posting stuff about bands etc on the videos I post... or I may stay a lazy git and just keep slapping videos up.
If anyone is reading this, why not post a comment, let me know there are folk out there, or I may slip back into the delusion that I am all alone and the world is some kind of bad trip I am haveing back from when I was 19..... and of course please feel free to post ANY comments under the videos.
Just for anyone that may be interested my musical tastes change more than I change my underwear, though that aint that hard. Went from full blown Metal Head, though Crustie into Grebo trangressing into absolutely anything really these days, favouring such as Tool, Perfect Circle, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Breed 77, Jethro Tull, Godsmack, Scarling, Kate Bush etc etc....
Right, I'll feck off for now and let you get back to viewing the videos.... ta ta
