What Can't You Find On The Internet?

and also, found this... very happy that my memory isn't quite as patchy as I thought... http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150165016367271.296478.168504252270

ah, wow: http://www.verame.com/anglais/sinai.php

can anybody find the video of the mormon advertisement where the kid thinks "that's a good lie... lie... lie... lie" and then his thoughts come to life and sing "when you tell one lie it leads to another" etc?

what was the Barclay's Bank building in Park Lane, London originally? I can find lots of pics of it online, but not a history.

It is very ornate and looks old, so I think it unlikely it was built for its current purpose.

looking for photos of those make up mirrors with lightbulbs dotted around the border, like this: http://www.glamfull.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/vanity-girl-broadway-lighted-makeup-mirror.jpg

but want a really classic 50s hollywood looking one. google is coming up with junk, can anyone point me towards a good one? or name an old film that has one in (so i can take a screenshot)

I've been looking forever for a house track which looped a black female diva (or drag queen?) voice saying "don't be throwin' no shade / I"m just trying to get paid" over and over and over again- production wise it was a lot like Uncanny Alliance "I Got My Education"- that era. I have searched high and low on the internet for this and have found exactly nothing. Help this crippling 90s deep house nostalgia trip out people!

If you search for "dressing room mirror" you can find some photos like this:

Surely All About Eve features such a dressing room mirror? It would be no loss sitting through the film even if it doesn't.

Here's Chaplin in front of one:

@Dr3w, only managed to find out the sample is probably from a RuPaul song, from her first album Supermodel of the World. But I've got nothing on the deep house track sampling it, sorry

i would be curious to check a french discussion forum populated by cultivated ppl/hipsters. i looked around a bit and i can't find one.

Penderecki's OST for Resnais' 'Je t'aime, je t'aime'

Grandpont Genie, the Barclays Bank on Park Lane was originally a house belonging to a soap manufacturer named R.W. Hudson.

The Park Lane millionaires did not like houses of the conventional type and indulged their fancy in styles of the past, like Mr RW Hudson, the soap king, who built himself a mediaeval folly, Stanhope House, decorated with heraldic shields and gargoyles, his cult of the past even making him prefer narrow gothic windows which restrict the glorious view of the Park. This quaint house - the work of WH Romaine Walker - by some miracle still stands at the corner of Stanhope Street opposite the Dorchester Hotel. The ground floor is occupied by the Park Lane branch of Barclays Bank, which has entered into the gothic spirit by inscribing its name in 'Olde Worlde' gold lettering on the front.

Stanhope House, Park Lane, which was erected in 1901 for Mr. R. W. Hudson from the designs of Mr. W. H. Romaine-Walker, is the "house beautiful" of Park Lane. As it was especially desired by the owner that the Gothic treatment should be adopted, the period selected was the ate fourteenth century, with flamboyant feeling in the tracery and mouldings. The stone used is the grey Forest of Dean, while the roof is of copper. The main feature of the Park Lane frontage is the treatment of the bay windows, three in number, starting at the balcony of the first floor and continuing to the parapet level; on the Great Stanhope Street front there is an oriel bay. Inside, the decoration of the principal rooms has been most choicely carried out in the Adams style, which lends itself effectively to the beautiful collection of satinwood furniture, old blue china, and valuable pictures by Gainsborough, Romney, Hoppner, and other masters.

The magnificent gothic design of Stanhope House was the work of WH Romaine-Walker in 1898. Originally occupied by RW Hudson, the soap manufacturer, the building has been a Barclays branch since 1952.

Any way of sourcing the book 'Transcendent algebra. Ideografie matematical. Experiment de un lingue filosofic'. There's a listing on amazon.fr, but they don't have any copies.

thanks for the mirror pics guys, the chaplin thing is the kind of thing im after, just not on angle. might have to make a makeshift one in photoshop, shouldn't be too difficult.

Gravel Of Four Weeks Ago: I've no idea whether this is of any help to you, but according to Worldcat it's held by libraries in Leicester, Paris, Utrecht and Berlin. (Looks weirdly intersting btw!)

I ended up ordering it from the BNF in Paris, or a photocopy of it, anyway. Kind of pumped, though obviously I wish I'd known it was in Leicester - thanks!

The extract from it that got me interested is here: http://www.ioling.org/problems/2003/i1/

ok once upon a time youtube "related" led me into a whole pile of clips from, i believe, an italian talk show. the segments were two really hot people answering the same question at the same time (different cameras), with music playing. sometimes you could tell the two were giving roughly the same answer, other times it was just wildly different it was totally cacophonous and awesome and i've never been able to find any of them again.

anyone have idea what this is/was?

please help.

I saw this video on youtube where a slightly past-his-prime Brian Wilson was playing piano singing some classic Beach Boys song (God Only Knows? Don't Worry Baby? Surfer Girl? I don't remember). partway through the performance, the camera panned out to reveal Brian sitting at a grand piano in the middle of a sandbox with toys scattered all around. I'm guessing it was a TV appearance from the '70, and the setting was probably a studio rather than Brian's actual living room. anyone know what I'm talking about?

it's not his SMiLE-era solo "Surf's Up" performance (which doesn't feature a sandbox), although it reminds me of that somewhat.

nvm, found it

it's from Saturday Night Live, 1976. god this is exploitative.

...any evidence whatsoever that at one point Days of Our Lives character Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) had a pop idol turn, during which he sang his hit, "Friendly Fires," at the Salem nightclub and was afterwards assailed by crazed fans tearing at his clothes

:( no idea

A clip of Bruce McCulloch and Dave Foley in the 1980s Anne of Green Gables!

Bruce is in the debutante ball scene for like five seconds. Don't remember Foley in it though.

a clip, previously linked on ilx, in which nile rodgers talks about walking into bars and seeing people play 'le freak' entirely wrong

Is it this? It's the best thing ever. There was also a whole series of him lecturing in Manchester, but they seem to have gone.

yes it is! and it is! thank you - !

can't find a list of all the NME editors 1952-date. This follows on from an Observer (I think) article I read about Krissi Murison and a number of her predecessors.

Looking for a website which lists film soundtracks in the order they appeared in a film and describes the scenes they were in.

A picture of this where the cover has been defaced (why do I think perhaps by John(ny) Lydon/Rotten) to say 'Captain Wanker'

Reviews differentiating the various versions of the Area cds. Only recently had it confirmed that there were remasters since the late 80s.

ugh, i feel like i've asked this before, maybe repeatedly, but where is the thread where politicians are all making the "i'm sorry" face? i will bookmark it this time.

this one?

thanks!

I've been looking for a high resolution version of <a href="http://tinyurl.com/cph35ns";>my girlfriend's favourite photograph</a> (google images), it must be big enough to blow up onto a canvas. Not had much luck with google.

1024x892 is bigger than the ones there but will still look bad blown up, I guess. Unless you did that posterise thing on it, maybe (what's that called, when it becomes made up of circles and what not?)

i would recommend hiring dan lacey to paint it

That is so damn cute I just spent 10 minutes looking for it as well. I could mess around with it in photoshop but the image quality is the image quality.. :(

It looks like a home scan of a print that's then been passed around lo-res around the net, so I'm kind of doubtful you'll ever get a hi-res of it.

the image quality is the image quality

The music video for 'Bad Sad Hill' by Kheops which is a different track to 'Sad Hill' from what I can remember. I have been trying to find it for more than a decade. It involved kung fu moves atop a French high rise. I think.

xp that is pretty good, Alba! My skills are a lot more basic ;)

been looking for casio parody of "last night" by "the different strokes" for years...

oh I tried to find the song Kingdom of Lies by Folk Implosion and it was not available anywhere legally that I could find. This may have changed; I did not re-search.
