What Can't You Find On The Internet?

VHS recording here:

Too bad, i was gonna recreate it woth cut out puppets on popsicle sticks interspersed with the live version and ul to yt as bobsegerofficial

Used to be that dailymotion was where all the forbidden music videos were. Seems to be archive.org now.

She Was Hot: https://archive.org/details/1984.02.25_MTV_4_Hours_with_VJ_Nina_Blackwood_Saturday_February_25th_1984

I didn't remember the comic thunder effects happening every time the "hot" lady would appear.

and then there was this:

The racy video featured a redheaded dancer who got the band so excited the zippers flew open on their pants. MTV would not air it, so The Stones supplied an alternate version without the crotch-popping.

Cockpopper Blues

Iirc, it wasn't the band, but actors playing executive-types watching the performance part in a screening room (a linking theme in Julian Temple's videos for Undercover being people watching stuff on TV or screens). The censored version shows a stream of water blasting at the screen. Both cuts used to be up on YouTube back in the day.

The version in the link ends abruptly before that part. I assume the uploader may have cut out the part with the disputed footage (iirc it's something that's on a TV)

Thanks for the link BTW! The block "She Was Hot" appears in is A+: "Middle of The Road"*, "Whip It" & "Girls"!

*I'd seen bits of it before, but had always thought it was footage of them actually appearing on a TV show, not that the video was a fake TV performance.

RON: I get that she's making my guitar melt, but doesn't making the neck go all limp and flaccid suggest something otherwise?

KEEF: OH LOOK! Ronnie's offering us all some artistic direction now!

there's a few other videos on archive.org that feature she was hot, i'm not checking them for differences but you might want to

Weird American comedy short shown on in the UK on Channel 4 circa 1998/9, about an anally retentive guy in an office who is obsessed with keeping to his schedule, but then he gets trapped in an unscheduled gap between two meetings that never ends. Eventually he tries to escape by jumping out of the window, but because time is frozen he's just left suspended in mid-air, and that's how it ends. The soundtrack featured Time Has Come Today by the Chamber Brothers but that an IMDB search of that song doesn't bring it up.

I'm guessing probably a student film project from back when those used to turn up on TV, which is probably why it's so obscure.

If you find it, add it to this page: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TimeStandsStill

Cartoon of a goofy looking Bin Laden at a computer giving the thumbs up. Think it was posted here at some point.

now maybe someone else can come along and provide the original context for that image? I think it's a panel from a rightwing cartoon but I'm not 100% sure

yeah it was this terrible daily political comic strip that we used to goof on, i can’t remember what it was called

oddly hard to look up since all the links in those threads are broken

for the best, really

if you do a tineye search on that image the original strip comes up on the bottom - the actual links to it on there are broken but if you hit Compare on the preview image you can see the comic (turns out what Osama was thumbing-up was that NYC hadn't build a new WTC yet??)

State of the Union was an American daily newspaper comic strip distributed by Creators Syndicate that ran from September 2004 until May 2010, when the company "retired" the strip. What was this strip like? Well, if the talky milieu of Mallard Fillmore can be seen as appealing to the typical Fox News viewer, the more overtly racist, violence-tinged agitprop themes of many State of the Union strips would probably appeal to readers of WorldNetDaily or Stormfront who think that Fox News is too soft.

This reminds me of a briefly live website which took the famous photo of Bin Laden watching himself on TV and allowed the user to make any video play in the TV. Of course, I made Three 6 Mafia's "Bin Laden" play, much to my mirth.

i know there are a million of these threads, but what is the best thread on selling off your entire record collection? with all the issues involved, like how you'll make more money if you do it individually but of course the convenience of just getting rid of the whole damn thing at once and being done.

i sold mine whole hog to the local record store when i moved across the country. from prior experience i knew they paid the highest of any other store in the city but i still didn’t make much money. so unless you’re in a rush, i recommend not that

If you're somewhere where you can get a table at a local record show or trade meetup, I'd advise to do that, as you can name your price (and generally get it) and not have to worry about shipping materials (OTOH, your table fee may be as expensive, ymmv).

yeah, that's pretty much what i expect. it's funny, right now i'm going through the same exercise with my game shit - ps4, switch - and the "sell it to the record store" option feels very much like the "bring it gamestop option"

xp

xp but then, people won't buy all the records. so i'll have to do it again and again. also, my records aren't that great. i have some valuable ones, and for a while i owned every microphones doodad, but for the most part, it's just stuff i like to listen to and it's not worth much. but according to discogs, the median value is $23K. i know that's way overestimated, because that's if all my shit was in NM condition (it is, mostly - ironically, it's mainly the ones i bought used from record stores that beat up or have joy-killing skips all over them). and also, that's assuming you sell them all piecemeal, exhaustively, to a million different people, rather than just selling the damn thing and moving on with life.

https://www.discogs.com/user/ZZSS/collection

so basically, i take 23K as my very max, highest effort, possible return. and i imagine if i brought it in to a chicago store, they'd give me $4K, and that's probably being optimistic

One thing about doing a show is at the end of the day, you could possibly sell off what didn't sell during the day to another dealer at a rate that could be better than what you'd get from a shop, but as always ymmv.

that's true! yeah, it would kind of be like doing a discogs kind of day, in person, and then selling off the lesser things for the ripoff rate at a store, or on ebay.

would it be weird to do an eBay lot and just list ALL of them?!

an eBay personal record!

fair sounds fun. as a side bonus you get to meet lots of cute record nerds

Cherry pick the valuable stuff, put that on ebay. Rest sell as a job lot, whether it’s too a dealer, craigslist or ebay.

^ ^ ^ This is what my professional record dealer friend would say, and what I was about to type— sell the valuable stuff on eBay or Discogs, and then sell the rest in genre lots or lots of your own choosing.

also, give us a heads up first!

i've done a fair amount of selling to the store recently - little batches of like 20 records or so at a time. i know i could make more on eBay but i'll never get around to it because all the logistical and dealing-with-customers hassles are just not for me. so i feel good getting SOME money. and in this case the amounts have never made me feel like i'm getting taken for a ride. (specifically talking about Brooklyn Record Exchange in East Williamsburg/Bushwick. i really like the vibes there and the main dude is knowledgeable. the most promising thing was that the stuff they sell is all reasonably priced and in good shape. i've never had a "WTF" moment looking at some beat up common record with a crazy price slapped on it - or for that matter, a "WTF" moment seeing something i sold them marked up to a degree that made me feel like i got taken advantage of.)

but uhhhh yeah there must be a thread about this, agreed! maybe also try This is the thread where we ask people to dig up things on ILX we can't find

thanks for all the advice!

also, give us a heads up first!

i will for sure! i will be pricing stuff at just slightly below the going price on discogs, depending on condition. my incentives are in opposite directions - i need as much $$ as i can because money is getting short for me. but the higher price i put on anything, the longer it will take to sell. so i'm hoping that just pricing them at just below whatever the going price is will help to speed things along.

i think that's sound! and you can always adjust prices down for stuff that's not moving, right?

The dinosaur vs robot FITE drawing that was once here

on no! FITE! oh NO!!

They aren't on this thread?

^^ that sounds a bit passive -aggressive - what I mean is I'm not sure if the two pics on this thread are the same thing, as its before my time?

i think the gifs were made from an original drawing of them both on the same page facing each other

Still, they will do! Thank you.
