I've been absent from the internet. With this I herald my return.

Koolalala (It's the way we refresh when we're doing our thang)

For myself, for my country, for my half of the blog and for my paper-thin skin I had to throw something else up here. Had to smush the trash down an inch. Had to.

This video's less jittery, if nothing else. And it's nothing else.



clips:
Bad Girls Do Cry (1965)
LOST NBC TELEVISION OUTAKES & BLOOPERS 1950's (compiled by TVdays)
1950s Kool Aid Commercial

2 steps forward, 1.95 steps back

Oh so jittery. No clue why. And that inversion effect at the tail end of the song's intro? That's the pits. Don't subject yourself to this. Don't. Only my eyes need be sacrificed. That's two eyes too many.





clips:
HMS Pinafore (dir. Rodney Greenberg, 1982)
Die Fledermaus (cond. Carlos Kleiber w/ Bavarian State Orch., 1987)

samples:
3s & 7s -QOTSA

Rock Show -Peaches

Lucky Strives

By Webster's definition this is definitively, defiantly an example of progress. It's slightly less mistake-ridden. I am progressing.

samples: Touch Too Much (AC/DC), I and I Survive (Bad Brains), Ain't Misbehavin' (Fats Waller?)

Evil Woman I (Throw My Hands Up)

Another lesson learned: Don't delete video files before you're absolutely positive you won't want to re-edit the video. So I have to leave this one as is, overlong Debbie Drake segment and all.



clips: Debbie Drake Show, Ella Waldek vs. Jane Mull, Ernie Kovacs, It Could Be You, Phil Silvers Show

samples: Evil Woman (Black Sabbath), Corpus Christi (Avengers), I Wish You Love (Blossom Dearie), Make Me Feel Better (Fabolous) Outside Love (Brethren), Girl From Ipanema (Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz)

Experiments in Experimenting and other great somethings

This is me taking my new video editing software for a spin. Feel free to not watch. I know I won't. Acknowledgements beneath. (Heroic Hint: Everything is Terrible did most of the work.)

And there's chocolate at the end. All hail, sweet chocolate.


I'm going to be posting this and similar nonsenses on a semi-regular basis solely to chart my progress. That holds true of generally everything I contribute (Hey there, I'm the Henry) but I've never felt the need to explain me, myself, my .gifs, my photoshops, I or my rambling writings. This, on the other hand, merits some mumbled explanation.

And, you know, the .gifs are awesome. I'd live my life in a waterfall of my own .gifs if I could. Not a thing that needs explaining about those.
