Amon Tobin (Cujo): Traffic
An animation film for Amon Tobin's song Traffic made from Disney's cartoons. From Amon Tobin under the name Cujo's album Adventures in Foam.
Amon Tobin: El Cargo (Chaos Theory)
This comes from the DVDA version of Amon Tobin's "Chaos Theory".
The video is by Hexstatic.
Amon Tobin: Keep Your Distance (User Made)
Footage from Hardware (also known as M.A.R.K. 13), a post-apocalyptic science-fiction horror film from 1990, set to Amon Tobin's "Keep Your Distance" (Foley Room).
Note: I was just fooling around in Sony Vegas without really knowing the software so there's more than a few editing goofs - especially @ 00:58, a few frames of opening credits that I neglected to cut. I must've blinked and missed it... Don't take it too seriously..
FINAL NOTE: The video is kind of ruined now with the widescreen format. I might redo it. Someday. Hopefully before 2012.

Amen Break Documentary
This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969 by The Winstons. This sample was used extensively in early hip-hop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.

Waking the Baby Mammoth
Posted by Alex in Animal, Science & Tech, Video Clips on April 14, 2009 at 4:35 pm
This is pretty cool: National Geographic Channel has a fantastic feature titled Waking the Baby Mammoth, about the discovery of a well-preserved body of a baby woolly mammoth:
Only a handful have ever been found before. But none like her. Her name is Lyuba. A 1-month-old baby mammoth, she walked the tundra about 40,000 years ago and then died mysteriously. Discovered by a reindeer herder, she miraculously re-appeared on a riverbank in northwestern Siberia in 2007. She is the most perfectly preserved woolly mammoth ever discovered. And she has mesmerized the scientific world with her arrival - creating headlines across the globe.

Fake People Tell Fake Stories About The Threat Of Gay Marriage
THIS IS PURE BIGOTRY I TELL YOU!!! PURE FIN' BIGOTRY!!!
Baratunde’s Posterous posted this unwonderful video produced by The National Organization for Marriage, describing it as "Fake People Tell Fake Stories About The Threat Of Gay Marriage."
I don't know if the people are fake or not [UPDATE: They are actors], but they are assholes. One woman whines plaintively, "My freedom will be taken away," if gays are allowed to marry. What -- her freedom to be intolerant?
Here is one of the videos of the dumb motherf*&%ers auditioning to be a part of an ad for an organization of evil fu$%ing bigots. I hope this organization rots slowly in Hell for there ignorance and intolerance. FU@K OFF NOM!!!

One string diddley bow
I found this video of Wade playing his homemade one-string diddley bow on Cigar Box Nation. Fantastic.
Only the best pallet wood, chicken can and drywall screws money can buy to build this fine instrument. This is an off the cuff song I came up with to go with this mean piece of wood.Be sure to check out the other videos of one, two, three, and four-stringed homemade musical instruments.
Shane Speal plays Guitar Rag played on cigar box guitar
Shane Speal goofing on the three-string cigar box guitar. He's been playing this instrument for 13 years. It's simply a stick shoved thru a cigar box with three strings added. Free plans are on his website. Song: Guitar Rag by Sylvester Weaver, 1923. Later made famous by Leon McAuliff as "Steel Guitar Rag."

Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii
Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii is a 1971 film featuring Pink Floyd performing six songs in the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. It was directed by Adrian Maben and recorded in the month of October with 24 tracks studio quality without a live audience.[1]
The performances of "Echoes", "A Saucerful of Secrets", and "One of These Days" were filmed from October 4, 1971 to October 7, 1971. The remaining songs were filmed in a Paris studio, along with additional front projection footage for insertion into the Pompeii performances.[2] The sequences in Paris were filmed in late 1971/early 1972, and can be distinguished by the absence of Richard Wright's beard. This version was released in theaters in September 1972 and is also included on the DVD edition as an extra feature. In August 1974, another version was released combining the original film with supposed recording sessions of The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios. These sessions were actually staged for the film[citation needed], as the recording of the album had been completed when these sessions were filmed in January 1973 and the band was mixing the album at the time.

Release history
The original release, running for one hour, only featured the live footage. A second version had additional footage of the band as they recorded or pretended to record their album The Dark Side of the Moon, as well as interviews conducted off-camera by Maben. This version ran for 80 minutes. The Director's Cut is a 2003 DVD re-release running 92 minutes. In addition to the concert and interview footage, it includes computer-generated images of outer space and of Pompeii as well as then-recent footage of Abbey Road and the Apollo missions. The original "full screen" image has been chopped up in this version and is presented in "fake widescreen", although the original cut is presented on the DVD as an "added bonus".

Additional Information
- The rap group The Beastie Boys made a music video for their song "Gratitude" that appears to be a homage to the film. In addition to copying its directorial style of slow horizontal tracking shots, the video shows the band's amplifiers labeled "Pink Floyd London" - just as Pink Floyd's amplifiers are labeled in the film. The video ends with a message that reads, "THIS VIDEO IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DIED AT POMPEII".
- The video for the 2003 song "Minerva" by American rock band Deftones is similarly an homage to the Pompeii performances in the film.
- During the song One of These Days, Nick Mason lost a drumstick but quickly retrieved another without missing a beat. During the outro of Echoes part 2 Nick can be seen breaking a stick, throwing it away and again retrieving a new one without missing a beat.
- The Pompeii Stadium where the video was recorded can be clearly seen from above in aerial images of coordinates 40°45′04″N 14°29′41″E / 40.751166°N 14.494700°E
