Moveon.org: The Bush McCain Challenge
For more information see the moveon.org page.
They have put together a system where anyone can set up a table somewhere and give this quiz that compares McCain to Bush. This video is just an amusing promo for that effort.

Uncensored Interview: Sway Dasafo - Art Imitating Life
UI is a free video destination site for indie bands. We find talent in the underground indie world and interview them for current fans to enjoy and for new music aficionados to discover. On top of it, we encourage users to talk to the bands by uploading v-sponses and share your thoughts and ideas with them.
This is a great statement posted by Uncensored Interview. UK Hip Hop artist Sway Dasafo offers his take on the vicious circle he sees in the art of Hip Hop as it first imitates life. . . and then itself.

The Real News - Patriotism and race - Obama disowns Wright
Quite possibly the most intelligent and useful discussion about this issue I have heard from any media source in the 3 weeks they have been talking about it.

Ready -- Set -- BUMBO
As a new father I was really inspired by this series of videos done by a father and his child for YouTube. Sitting around all day with your kid as a stay-at-home Dad may not sound all that much fun, but with a video camera, a Bumbo brand child chair, and some stop action edits lfatboyl has whipped up trilogy of videos that are catching some serious buzz.
Here's part I, II & III followed by some hillarious behind-the-scenes outtakes.

FOX ATTACKS: Obama Pt. 2
One of Robert Greenwald's better and more effective efforts at Brave New Films. His latest web video is documenting the Obama smear campaign on FOX news and the trail a media virus takes once it's planted.

The Brazen Heads - Who's Yer Paddy
If anybody has been wondering where I have been lately this is why. I just finished the second music video for my Celtic rock band The Brazen Heads

Music: The Brazen Heads - One Eyed Reilly
The Brazen Heads are a Phoenix based Celtic rock band with a surprisingly hard driving sound for a band with no electric guitar in 99% of their work. This is primarily because of the amazing drum and vocal stylings of Roy Plisko (who also writes the blog descriptions) The other guys do stuff too though: Liam Mackey sits in front with a guitar, tells dirty jokes and sings most of the songs, Tim Sadow has this long, hairy, stick thing that he strokes a little instrument with, Mark Lanus plays with just about anything he gets his hands on and bass player James Cowley has really cool hair.
This is the first music video released from their new album Who's Yer Paddy.
For more information go to www.thebrazenheads.com and feel free to drop us a message on our band forums too.

Dilbert Kickin It Old School
Recently on the Dilbert Blog [1/29/08], Scott Adams mused about the seeming randomness of the lyrics of popular songs. He challenged his readers to submit random lyrics of their own that could be combined into a song.
Lots of people submitted their random lyrics, and German band RIVO DREI put the best ones together, added music, and created a surprisingly great little song. Then one of the readers took it an extra step and made a music video using nothing but images from the Internet. You might be surprised how well it came out:
This is also a good example of how most music company executives wouldn't know what a good song was if it came up and chomped them in the arse. ;)
