OK, forget YouTube, GettyImages has the wackiest videos I’ve ever seen — I’m totally hooked on stock footage. I just started to get savvy with their keywords (all their videos are meticulously categorized with marketing phrases like “Multi-Ethnic Group” or “One Woman Only”). I present my favorite search so far: “artist looking at camera.” So much fun imagining how these fit into commercials…

(…and the huge GettyImages watermark across the middle never fails to crack me up…) (here’s a vid compilation)

YouTube playlist. Sorry to post more boring home vids, but this is something I really wanted to see, the crowd dynamics.. Different moods in each. The mundane/peaceful ones are really wierd and awkward. (*Beware that I put in a couple that are particularly intense/hard to watch…)

itd be sweet if all the computers were actually turned on :)

It’s really easy.. Do it before GoogleTube gets sued and yanks your favorites. (maybe we should start a collection in the secret stash?)

As a sucker for hokey mysticism I generally get very excited when I come across a radio show psychic. I was in the car the other day and heard these wonderful interference noises during a psychic radio segment on a GLT public radio talk show, so LA! podcast link
It is really becomes very strange and quite beautiful. It is also so funny when the psychic says that this sort of thing happens to her a lot when she does radio shows.
