I like ambient music for when I am doing housework, studying, ect. I like something a bit more hardedged like infected mushroom, but Yoodrasil seems pretty unique as well. It's more interesting than most ambient I hear, more going on and perhaps less reliance on repetition. I like it.

is the pre or post "im the supervisor" infected? i used to be a big fan and saw them live a few times around a decade ago but was very let down by their turn of direction from that album onwards
was quite a good thing in the end as i started to pay more attention to what else there was away from the isratrance scene. first i found suomi trance (a kinda anarchic offshot of goa)
then i found what i really love, forest psy (a roaring form of dark straight from woods of Scandinavia)

The emotion is what I like about metal. I like raw intensity but prefer a little style as well.

I came on board with Converting Vegetarians but the album with the most songs I like is Legend Of The Black Shawarma. What is the distinction with supervisor?

This was good. I definitely find it interesting but it seems more along the lines of organized noise than music. No clear emotions came through, no hooks that would 'catch' in my brain. Reminds me of some old Front Line Assembly. It's hypnotic and well produced. I would def want to hear it at a laser show. I can see how it would tease the brain under the right conditions.

Sometimes I find myself repeatedly watching a video/song not because I like it, because it's a trainwreck. Here is a good example.


Why is this song popular?


[video=youtube;EUuXIVsooV0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUuXIVsooV0[/video]


The only lyrics are in the first 60 seconds of the song and he rhymes words with themselves, which isn't really rhyming. They act like the song is such a burn on whomever the subject is, but all they say is "get on outta here". My Grandma used to demonstrate more talented rhyming trashtalk on her back porch with a broomstick. I get more entertainment by throwing rocks at a garage door, yet I find myself watching this almost daily, trying to figure out the appeal I suppose.

Dr Pepper has always had the most mindless and sheep breeding commercials since the 80's. Their new campaign shows a bunch of people dancing and singing about how unique they are, yet they are all dressed in the same red shirt that labels which stereotype they fit into.

If drinking this soda makes you jump around the street like an idiot maybe you should stop drinking it. When is the last time you smoked a joint and went sliding across cars singing about it? This type of behavior should be illegal. Dr Pepper seems to be insidiously taking over the population and they are all marching of to some sinister purpose.

But that isn't the commercial that fascinates me. This is.

There are lots of things I can't figure out here. Why are they acting as if the web is brand new and it's gonna murder television? Was this made in 96? Why are there scantly clad women holding briefcases of money? Why is some no name rapper riding the coattails of some youtube kid? Why are they slowly and constantly nodding their heads in confirmation? If they like the soda so much, why are they splashing it around and pouring it out? Why is there some cherry head guy dancing around? Why do they throw liquid chocolate on a squirrel? Exactly what message are they conveying here?

My buddy swears that I am the only person to ever watch that video all the way through more than once. He leaves if I put it on.

Then there is this 'cover' by an Otep fan. This is truly one I can not look away from. So many questions... Is this a woman or a man? Why does she/he not have teeth? Did Donna like the video?
[video=youtube;S5RrLIE0RFs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5RrLIE0RFs[/video]

Is this a good example of the youtube culture not being able to self evaluate, or just some clueless crackhead?

Was this commercial actually sponsored by Dr. Pepper? It's too bad, I used to like Dr. Pepper...

Here's another head-scratcher, Dr. Pepper 10. What is in it that women aren't supposed to consume? Extra testosterone?

Heh, yep. Real effective marketing when you can even tell just what the product is eh?

Haha, that one is new to me. Since I download everything I watch I very rarely see commercials, which is good because I spend too much time deconstructing them. I sometimes get worked into a frenzy and can't enjoy the show I was watching. That commercial is a good example. A blatant attempt to make their diet product acceptable to men. I suppose it doesn't hurt to encourage people to consume less calories, but you'd think they could find a way to do it which downplays the stereotypical dichotomy between the sexes rather than exploits it.

Perhaps we should start a 'commercials' thread to philosophize about. Er maybe I did that once... Smoking Charlie Sheen right now...

^reverse psych, imo. What happens when you tell someone not to? Especially women? My thought here is that woman is playing man's role these days...in a million and one ways. Marketing will be to the 'men' of the house now, however silky smooth they may be. Women also buy the most product that will counter the adverse reactions of having ingested the brew. Teeth whiteners, man!

*shrugs* dunno...

Love this song...

[video=youtube_share;QwOU3bnuU0k]http://youtu.be/QwOU3bnuU0k[/video]

Had this song in my head all week....

It's easy to get Stevie's songs stuck in your head, amazing melodies with cool key modulations. I've always loved this song since the 90s when the Bulls dominated basketball, there were 2 or 3 Nike commercials that featured Jordan's magic with this song in the background:

What's this one video per post shit? Didn't we all used to include multiple videos per post? RIU loses our data, takes away the 'like' feature, and now is limiting video inserts? Frustrating! Anyway, I still find myself singing this one often:

[video=youtube;wDZFf0pm0SE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDZFf0pm0SE[/video]

The site is in a once bitten twice shy sort of mode, hence the restriction on video posts and likes. It is an appropriate response, although I agree that it is a pain.

^ oh the funkiness! Love it

Thanks for answering that, Heis. I don't understand how inserting multiple videos in a single post as opposed to a single video in multiple posts is any safer, and how does the 'like' feature compromise site security?
