What Can't You Find On The Internet?

"I got a girl, way down south, lives in a poo-stained house"

Reply to czn, no it wasn't Manny Farber, I think this critic may have died in the 40s or 50s, and was one of the first to write seriously on popular music in the 1930s.

Anyone who may be interested in the photography series I was looking for, it was this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1256109/

first line is a a lot clearer on Paralyzed '80s:

"I got a girl, way down south, she ain't gonna see me 'less I pull my shades down, paralyzed"

Think I'll go mad if I try to decipher any more.

ok it is "across town" not "down south".

The Return of Pipecock Jackson by Lee Perry

As far back as I can remember, which must be something like 1978 ish, there was a canal bucket dredger that appeared just every now and again on the M.S.Canal near our home. This thing would be dredging about three hundred yards or so down the canal and made the most haunting echoing bucket scraping noises all day long.

This thing utterly fascinated me as a kid, I would stand and watch it for hours. Once it was so close to the road side when I returned home from school that I failed to get home and just stood there until my parents had to send out a search party.

1979 was probably the last time I saw this thing.

So did the internet search function provide me with the fond memories of this iron beast from my childhood? weeeeell, I think I found a photo of the dredger I'm looking for, but...

The Witton II Bucket Dredger

the damn thing's sunk.

video of a kevin kilbane wondergoal for everton about 4-5 years ago. beat two men with a neat turn, covered about twenty yards and finished with a scorcher from fully 25-30 yards.

its vital for the faith my little brother has in me that i can prove this happened.

Naked ladies.

No, wait, there they are.

and for those excited about rusty dredgers as much as i am, here's (a link to) an old photo of the dredger in question:

GUYS i need to find a place to buy this on the internet that isnt this website (they will only ship to Canada). Please help me find it!!

http://shop.heys.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Wonder_Pets_Luggage

Looks unlikely - think they licensed the designs for Canada only. Only option: find a friendly Canadian ILXor intermediary?

Sunny, I live on the border. You could have it shipped to my husband's work address or my friend's address in Vancouver, and I could mail it from the States.

!!! That would be fantastic. I will webmail you shortly. Thanks!

Yay! :-)

Thanks for looking Stan. I figured it was a licensing issue since they only have the lame disney ones down here but I was hoping there would be some other Canadian site that shipped to the US.

Kate, I emailed you.

I thought you were going to buy Beeps a ticket for an actual seat. I hope she handles the low air-pressure okay.

lol

its the economy :(

Alright sunny, I just sent you my husband's work address!

etc etc etc

thank you

I can't find videos of this long forgotten theme park: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_of_Sid_and_Marty_Krofft. I want to see a video of the purple belly-dancing rhino and I want to see the pinball machine ride in action. I want to see the largest escalator in the world.

I need to listen to the original

Yo! MTV Raps

Pictures of the Bucket Bikini Man. If anyone can locate the site it came from or has the pictures saved on their computer and can share them, I'd be eternally grateful.

To explain it for nu-ILXors: Bucket Bikini Man was a picture of a chubby guy wearing a bikini made of plastic toy buckets, and it was posted on ILX quite often. There was also another pic where the same dude was wearing a bikini made of stuffed toy animals. I once managed to find the site where the pics came from, they were from a homemade bikini contest (all the other contestants were women). Sadly, despite searching for it several times, I haven't found the site again. Could be it's not online anymore.

Here's another thing I've tried to find online, I posted about it on ILM but maybe someone here can help:

I have a track ID request, this has been bothering me for years. I'm not sure if anyone even remembers this, but let's give it a try... If you watched MTV Europe in the nineties, you probably remember that they sometimes used run these inserts between the ad breaks and the shows. They were kinda like the famous MTV logo animations, but longer, and they often used pre-existing tunes, sometimes mixed together. Now, one of these inserts featured glowing, flickering, black & yellow images of guys in commando ski-masks, urban landscape, skulls, electricity, etc - rather industrial type of imagery. The music playing during the clip was a fast acid house tune (with 303) with the guitar riff from Metallica's "Unforgiven" mixed on top of it. I really liked the acid house tune, but I never found out what it was, so I wonder if someone else might've seen the same clip and recognized the tune?

I've been trying to find the actual video clip online, but so far with no results. I guess there's no archive site for old MTV inserts?

Okay, I just realized that the riff wasn't actually from "Unforgiven" but from "Wherever I May Roam" - the jangly bit in the beginning of the song.

If anyone can find this MTV insert online, you'll have my undying gratitude.

WHY ARE YOU SO HARD TO FIND, LITTLE PART?

this is also a call to ILX electricians, friends of electricians.

Metal shows, accessible by Boston public transport, that I want to go to. It's easier to get to NY than fucking Worcester or Hartford, and none of the above are very convenient. Grr.

Trying to find the name of a book about wannabe rappers which profiles a pre-fame Eminem. Came out late 90s/early 00s and I'm fairly sure is written by a Brit.

Don't know about the book, but I did find this :-)

Jabba Hands, a million thanks for you! I've been looking for that pic for ages! Where'd you find it?

What is that kind of dance from Canada where a bunch of Magritte-character-lookinh guys stomp side to side quickly while leaning in that direction?

Ha yeah ilxor.com directs me to sandbox every time. secret shit
