POD's Anything Right - Same chorus as TFK's Fire It Up?

My friend Jim comments on my previous post that the chorus to TFK's Fire It Up sounds an awful lot like POD's Anything Right.

So here's POD's song. What do you think? (Chorus starts at 1:20)

Thousand Foot Krutch - Fire It Up live

The guitarist could have shown more enthusiasm.

The greatness of new autumn releases continues!

Darth Vader dances

OK, that was awesome.

UFC 100: We're Just Getting Started

Commercial for the new Ultimate Fighter

Shame that my eagerness to see this means by the time it comes, winter will be at our doorstep.

The House Hippo ad

I love this ad. Not because it reminds us that not everything we see on TV is real, but because it makes me realize that tiny hippos would be the cutest pets ever! Seriously .... if any of you mad scientists out there can make me a tiny hippo for a pet, I'd love to get one.

Downhere - Unbelievable

These guys are supposed to be coming to Edmonton in August, and I do plan to be there. Here's a classic from their album Wide Eyed and Mystified.

This makes my list of "The Most Disturbing Things I've Ever Seen"

Thanks to my 15-year-old daughter for showing this to me. Now I get to make fun of it.



SATURDAY AFTERNOON EDIT: I'm not sure what's funnier - the fact that the video was one of the Jonas Brothers dancing (in high heels, no less) to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" or that less than 24 hours later, not only has the video been removed for copyright violation, the Official Jonas Brothers YouTube Channel has been suspended. Those 500,000+ subscribers must be pretty upset.

SUNDAY MORNING EDIT: Video is back, so I guess things got worked out. No, I'm not going to go investigate this.

Best. Submission. Ever. - Inverted Triangle

Skillet's new song, Monster

From their forthcoming album. Quality is as good as it gets for YouTube, really.

Skillet: A Day in the Life of a Show

Time-lapse videos are nothing new, but that doesn't make this any less fun to watch.

Happy Easter!

A Better Way - Downhere

An appropriate song for Good Friday.

Crazy MMA knockout!

The New Newsboys

Sorry ... I'm just not sold on Michael Tait as lead singer yet.

Rube Goldberg machine destroys Creme Egg

This Hour Has 22 Minutes - Facebook Effects

Hysterical! My brother Dean wrote this.

This is absolutely fantastic!

Skip right to the 3-minute mark for Darth Vader. Just do it.

Chris Jericho altercation with fan

Pro Wrestler's altercation with Victoria fan hits YouTube

Pro wrestler Chris Jericho punched a woman outside Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre after a World Wrestling Entertainment bout yesterday, an altercation captured by a witness on a cellphone camera and posted on YouTube.

Witnesses say the incident occurred when Jericho was surrounded by hundreds of people heckling him after he lost yesterday’s RAW Live WWE bout.

Bride - God Gave Rock N Roll to You

I remember Petra doing this ages ago. This version is pretty cool.

Downhere - How Many Kings

An appropriate song for the Christmas season.

Christmas at Ground Zero

Because not every great Christmas song is a classic hymn.

BIGGEST RICK ROLL EVER

Awesome.

YouTube goes widescreen!

YouTube Embraces Widescreen Paves the Way for Hollywood Features - Webmonkey

As we pointed out last week, YouTube is now offering HD quality video on select movies. But one of the hallmarks of HD video is the widescreen aspect ratio (16:9 rather than 4:3) and now the YouTube site has been updated so that all video is now displayed in a new widescreen player.

As the YouTube blog notes, this means that the vast majority of videos on the site — which were uploaded as 4:3 — are now displayed with black bars on the sides (the empty space not used by 4:3 videos).

Two things:

1) Now, all I need is a free video editor that will actually let me edit the widescreen video that my digicam will let me shoot ... except I don't shoot in widescreen because I can't edit it.

2) This puts YouTube ahead of the WWE in terms of providing me with easily-accessible widescreen content. Not that I'm bitter.

Downhere - The Real Jesus - Live

One of the hidden gems from Downhere's last album, Wide Eyed and Mystified.

Downhere - A Better Way

One of the greatest songs ever written, in my humble opinion.

Downhere - The More

Yeah, I've basically turned the blog into a music video reposting service. Consider it a respite between the Learn to Run updates.



And the studio version ...

Lincoln Brewster - Everlasting God

Stellar Kart - Me and Jesus

The cornucopia of Christian music videos continues. I love this song, but the album version is much better.

Downhere - Here I Am

My current favourite song.

The perils of live TV reporting

Worst Office Freak Out Ever

Great moments in spelling bee history

Kurt Angle's latest neck injury

It's at about the 4 minute mark.

Geese!

Amanda Falk - Beautiful

My first YouTube video to hit 2,000 views, which it did yesterday.



(And, no, I'm not awake now, sitting in front of the computer posting. I used the scheduled post feature in Blogger to put this up in the middle of the night.)

Starfield - Son of God

An appropriate video for a Sunday morning. Enjoy!

But, wow, is it ever good.

Return of the Hungarian Partridges

For the past couple of springs, our backyard has played host to a pair of Hungarian Partridges. Last year, the two of them nested in our firepit for a few weeks as the snow melted, before disappearing for the summer. This morning, there were three of them exploring our backyard.

EDIT: Video added ...

You are my sunshine!

Our penultimate Hawaii video. Nicole shot this on her camera, as she didn't want to learn to play the ukulele. It was taken at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Funny side note: this is our most-viewed Hawaii video on YouTube, and someone awarded it the dreaded one-star (Poor) rating.

Batting 1,000 on YouTube

Sure, it's a small accomplishment in the online world, but this is my first YouTube video to get 1,000 viewings.

Raiders!

Took some video this weekend while at the soccer tournament.

Surfing in Hawaii!

It's Sunday morning, it's cold. Time for another visit to Hawaii!

This was the first Hawaii video I put together a few months ago when I started playing around with our video editing software. It's a 30-second clip edited down from about 3 minutes of footage. I thought it turned out pretty good. Make sure you stay until the end of the credits.

I love this video for several reasons:

• One of the things Nicole absolutely wanted to do in Hawaii was surfing. For her, this was a dream come true. It was a great thrill as a parent to watch her have so much fun.
• Michelle did not want to go surfing, but we cajoled her into doing it, and she was so happy afterwards. This was an enormous step for her because she was utterly intimidated by the prospect of surfing, but sucked it up, took the lessons, and had a blast.

Basically, this was a chance to watch my kids do something amazing, and stand back and take it all in. What a joy!

Casting Crowns - East to West (Live)

This song is the usual Casting Crowns nine shades of awesome. And check out the Hulkamania shirt being worn by the drummer!

Petra means rock

Stryper rules!

I've been on a bit of a classic Christian rock kick recently, and was thrilled to find this on YouTube. Ah, the memories of driving to the University of North Dakota from Winnipeg in the late 1980s to see Stryper in concert.
