More Videos and Comments


You guys seemed to enjoy this the last time I posted it, so here's another page with a ton of links to youtube music videos. These aren't just 80s either; there are older ones and lots of newer ones, and they've got multiple videos by some artists.

There are two problems with the page; lots of the links are dead, since YouTube files are constantly being posted and removed (Ignore or laugh at their "try again in a few minutes." error message -- if a link doesn't work when you try it it's never going to.) and they've got the page set to play the videos in a box that cuts off the bottom with the time and slider bar, so you can't tell how long a file is, can't fast forward, can't rewind, and can't pause.

Happily, you can find virtually any video on YouTube that you know the name of, so if you see something on this list that's not working properly, just go to YouTube.com and search for it. Lately I've been going down wikipedia pages of bands I liked back in the day, looking at the discography for all their hits, and then searching for them on youtube. More often than not I find the video, several live versions, and the requisite "some guy playing his guitar on his webcam" version just for icing on the cake.


Incidentally, there's been a fair amount of spam comments lately, so I've enabled the moderation option. Your comments won't appear as soon as you make them anymore; only after I get an email and click okay, so you don't need to hit repost. I'm not going to turn nanny either; say anything you would normally have said in comments and I'll almost certainly okay it as soon as I check my email -- just as long as you're not spamming links to your Russian online gambling service, that is.

Comments:

I guess it's worth mentioning the DownThemAll! Firefox extension that lets you download movies from sites like YouTube. I can play the .flv files just fine in VLC, but I use open source Dr. DivX to convert them anyway, because you can't track or see length with flv files.

I also stand by my previous comment about YouTube giving the wrong impression of AMVs (poor quality, bias towards angsty music types, etc). I realize the chances of ANYONE here caring are nill, but meh. Recommendations:
www.amvhell.com (vids made up of short parody clips)
www.animemusicvideos.org (96,620 vids listed)


 

Interesting link - anymore like it ?
