Welcome to my site archives. 10 posts are listed per page.
A friend of mine saw this and predicted that in 20 years this kind of thing (impossibly thick mixes of ridiculous japanese pop music) is the only stuff people will ever listen to. I tend to agree. Note that headphones are an ABSOLUTE MUST for this, the stereo separation is amazing.
ALSO: I'm actually pretty pissed off about this. Good god. I have no good memories of the last time I went to a con, but I was hoping they'd gotten better over the years. Is this really the best you can do, US of A? Comments (3) |

I haven't laughed this much at an AMV in a long time. Mel Brooks would be proud. Comments (2) |

Chiru and Lucky Star
I'm not sure, but I think this is probably the best thing I've ever done. Hell, it might be the single best Lucky Star video on Youtube. Good lord. Comments (1) |

you will not be humming anything else for the next hour
Does this actually count as an AMV, then? In any case, I went and dragged out Angel of Love, that monstrosity of a song from Perfect Blue, and submitted my old friends the Haruhi ed and the Lucky Star op to it alongside some newer victims. The results are horrifying. And no, you really don't want to know how long it took to synch all this. Comments (0) |

Style change, Rorty.
I changed the style a little bit. Yuki and the pink had to go.
Some of you may already know, but a few days ago Richard Rorty, one of the grand old men of American philosophy, died. I'm a little hesitant to post this video about him (it's not really very good - and it's not alone, since I think a good documentary of this style has yet to be made), but I'll go ahead anyways.
Like just about everyone, I have my disagreements with Rorty (if anyone's life was devoted to provoking dissent, it was him). I do not find him all that interesting as a positive, creative thinker in his own right - but as an interpreter of the tradition, he was one of the best. And if nothing else, the guy was an icon of intellectual honesty and courage, and one of the great humanists of the 20th century (the first mark of American thought, from Emerson to Fuller to DuBois to Dewey: humanism).
