  1. I’m trying to think of what I’d say if someone asked me that question…I’ve watched so many YouTube videos, I don’t know what I’d answer. :-)

    ditto — though there’s a neat recording of “Watermelons in Easter Hay” on there (and now wonder if the Family Trust will get it removed for copyright infringement).

    Maybe I would say that I only watch the advertisements — except that I have a big difficulty with telling the difference between “content” and “advertisement”. Maybe if Google put up a video that explained their guidelines or a tutorial about how their “search engine” works, I might watch that, but I still think “Watermelons in Easter Hay” would be less of a waste of time….

  5. It’s good to see that baby video again. The caption looks like LOLCat speak in some other language. :p

    If I was put on the spot like that, I would probably come up with Lasse Gertsen’s Amateur or Rick Wakeman’s keyboard solo. Sorry I don’t have anything new, but I think those are greats.

  7. I never watch Youtube!!! I mean if I wanted to see Joni Mitchell, Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny, Don Alias, Michael Brecker and Lyle Mays I’d go see them at a live concert, not watch them on a puny 2X2 inch screen. (Unfortunately two of the musicians mentioned are no longer with us.)

    YouTube???? Who has time!!!

    There is some great stuff on youtube. some of the yoga vids are way out there though. The rb vids are behind it seems. Katie C has some fresh material thats no where else. Its fun to scroll through once in a while.

    This was written by a friend of mine, much funnier than I.
    Client number 9

    Eliot Spitzer was a powerful man
    He once held the state of New York in his hand
    He took a strong stand on ethics and morals
    Yet he had an affinity for pricey young girls

    He swooped down on Wall St. to clean up the fraud
    Went after the mob with the wrath of a god
    Posed with the kids and his beautiful wife
    A snapshot of wholesome American life

    But hidden behind this mask of perfection
    Was a sordid and twisted tale of deception
    All of his subjects were left quite aghast
    When his shadow life surfaced and hit them full blast

    “Honey, something’s come up and I’ll be out of town,”
    At least ‘til the tent in his pants settles down
    “Spitz” gets on the phone to the Emperor’s Club
    To arrange something more than a full body rub

    His voice is familiar and from where she stood
    The agent, Ms. Lewis, thought it all sounded good
    He liked his girls young and he knew they weren’t free
    So the club hooked him up with miss Ashley Dupre

    Spitzer’s adventures weren’t really that funny
    The payment was taken in taxpayer’s money
    The governor was having the time of his life
    Across some state lines and away from his wife

    But as we know all good things have an end
    Regardless of how much money we spend
    Caught out in his ugly web of deceit
    His ass now rests on a very hot seat

    Standing before the press conference he called
    He makes no apologies for the hookers he’s balled
    His wife by his side seems to have aged 20 years
    Surely she’s realized the worst of her fears

    Forced to resign under the weight of the shame
    No way to restore that good Spitzer name
    Decisions and actions that boggled the mind
    A client referred to simply as “nine”.

    -Havens.

    What I like best about youtube is that it lets you hunt down little snippets that you never would have found before. Case in point, here’s Jeff Healey jamming his ass off with Stevie Ray Vaughan:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqU9RZqvFKY

    It may be a copyright violation, and part of it’s fuzzed out, but who cares? Seven hundred thousand people have gotten to see this moment from an otherwise almost-forgotten TV show, thanks to YT.

    Music videos are mainly what i watch. Best thing about this is that, if theres a song from long ago that you’ve heard, you can find it a lot easier on youtube then anywhere else. Also I watch rocketball, cause joanne is soo attractive :P

  28. -weird. TwitThis badge for Twitter totally Borks my site and comment system eats post I could swear was here a sec.

    Yes this is me promoting myself a little, but one of my Favorite things to see on YouTube (besides Santeri Ojala’s guitar solo parodies before they pulled them) is older Comedy that’s still relevant again today. Ex: Slightly old Chris Rock segment from “Bigger and Blacker” about Clinton/Lewinsky/Hilary, that’s totally relevant for Eliot Spitzer. Plus ça change, plus ça change pas!
