[RobotSPACEclown]

[amcarianne]

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthanky­outhankyou, et cetera, et cetera. I know I´ll always stick around for this one. The world is a better place with Mr. Vangaalen in it.

[oisupov]

[torkaerius]

Thanks for uploading this.

[toddums]

This song is amazing, if you get a chance to see Chad live GO FOR IT, it is amazing.

[Alabama64lee]

his live stuff sounds better then album I think O.o

[kizzle2255]

what is the first song?... i know the second is mini tvs.... loving the first song

[PurplePonziPirate]

@kizzle2255 Unreleased, he has hundreds of them. In fact his first two albums are really just compilations of the many many songs he wrote back in his days a busker. It wasn't until soft airplane that he sat down and actually wrote new material for a specific album. But yeah, it's a great song eh?

[killercrabman]

super sweet..out of time vid is better

[r3s3t063]

neil young of the Z generation

[wotyla13]

[gordgraff]

Wonderful set...great sound

[fiberglassdiaper]

CANADIAN TALENT AT ITS FINEST!!!!

[romand123]

what songs did he just play?

[sshiftyp]

@romand123

second one = mini tv's

i would also like to know how the first song is called

[craaabppl]

this is an awesome find. i love this video. chad vangaalen is the best song writer of this decade.

[tkmat]

too good. absoloute genius. imagine how hard it must be to do that!

[TheyAteThemselves]

Jesus he's cute..

I love his voice.

[deadra13]

lol whispers "Fucking Christ" when adjusting the harmonica. :D

[lywingoth]

really impressive

[ItsDahMonstahMan]

OMG playing drums and guitar and singing at the same time :O!! Awesome :P

[babyeater524]

I love Chad Vangaalen more than life itself

[SweetPawsMcGenty]

This is fantastic!!!!!

[krosm]

He used to set this deal up on the street s of Calgary and belt out some tunes, prolly only just a few years ago. That was cool.

[kampaamo]

i love that he is playing the guitar and drums at the same time

[jaaaaaaawesomestwin]

might sound weird but just learning of his existence today- his second song- he's reminiscant of Neil Young dontcha hear? but obviously fresh and with a sick indie Canuck thang going on

[kidaok00]

i love this guy.... chad is so awesome. very original in his ways.

[OnionsOnionsOnions]

Not true. Chad has heard them.

[bookoo666]

he has so many songs that no one has even heard.. in fact skelliconnection and infiniheart were both just a collection of previous songs, soft airplane being his only actual consecutively written record..but anyhow that first song was amazing and he should definetly release it.

[asmoron]

good news and bad news. good news: i found a recording of the first song. bad news: it's not on any of his albums. the track is dubbed "recently" and has no official release like many of chads live performed songs

[cauthoncrazy]

wow that's really cool you found that! was there a website you found it on? i hope he releases it.

[TeenageSmokers38]

okay well...whats it called?

[asmoron]

the mp3 i have it's just called "recently"

[asmoron]

it's not off the extended vinyl release of skelli nor from SA or infiniheart... my only guess is that it's off the green beans EP which i can't find.

[om3n147147]

What That First Song!?!?

[iblackma]

Coolest man ever!

[Jordain1138]

I'm impressed. Playing one instrument is hard enough, but Chad Vangaalen can play a bunch at once, and them make his own music videos! Kudos.

[porchestra]

Chad Vangaalen is undoubtedly one of the most talented performers around. Everything he does is simply amazing.

[karmakizzii]

mmmhmmm...I love you Chad...

[CommodorePictures]

Heavy Neil Young influences on Mini TVs there.

love that :D

[xxinjektiloxx]

genius

[dalethe13th]

this is great

[CommodorePictures]

freakin b-e-a-utiful

[Weishaupt33]

I've watched this video way too many times. Anybody else hearing some love for Neil Young coming through on Mini-TVs? Beautiful work.

[Ingobernable]

The Incredible Band-Man!

[stall360]

what an awesome performance by Chad, hes a master at multi tasking

[DaveWMusic]

Perhaps it's a song from the mysterious upcoming CD from Chad?

[ilsantomembro]

yeah, we need to be told what that first song is. i'm not really into the indy scene, but i really like mr. vangaalen and all his creativity.

[cauthoncrazy]

Hopefully we can find out what the first song is? It is awesome. I don't think it's on any of his cds.

[mattybass]

not sure what the first song is but the second one is Mini T.V.'s

[felipe10]

What's the name of the first song?

[chipdevourer]

Whats his percussion rig?

[Singalongsam]

Dear Chad,

Stop being so fucking amazing.

[wlp430]

I've wondered what that first song is too...

[Tiguidou41]

Is this all the songs he played on that "broadcast" if there's more could you please upload it?

[eauclairerefix]

i'm just saying.... why should bands have to use proper english? theres no point in what you said to begin with... why must everyone point out flaws on youtube.... its not like you could write a song that good and have better grammar... i'll tell yah what... you can take a dictionary (one of those big ones at the library) and shover it up your over-used ass.... it can teach lessons up there to your boyfriend edwardo

[oceandrainer]

it's a good thing. his musical skills make up for his linguistic ones. is it me, or do most indie musicians not go to a proper english school?

[eauclairerefix]

Dude....... thats just gay. FUCK YOU! TO:Ocean Drainer From: Burkely Seangrocaly

[oceandrainer]

TO: Brukely Seangrocaly From: oceandrainer: calm down you asshole.

[mattybass]

You are my favourite artist man... Props! You fucking rule!! I can't beleive I missed the Feist concert *MAD* but you're just 3 hrs. away, come to Edmonton soon again! Infiniheart FTW!!!

[boltofblue]

You're my new favourite artist.

I just started listening to you and I love it!

I need to get your cd instead of illegally...I mean...um,paying for your songs online...mapquesting your songs? whatever,i need to buy the cd.

thanks!

[rabidrino]

this is awesome....but the sound is horribly out of step with the video

PLEEEASE upload it again or something so it gets fixed. Sorry, I dont want to bitch about it, I love chad and these songs are awesome live like this!

[FlemishEyeRecords]

Sorry, the original was like this; it had to be pretty compressed so that we could show it at SXSW.

[tonym27]

chad's music is a joy to listen to, i must have heard infiniheart and skelliconnection more than anything else. i've bought both his albums on cd then on vinyl. Thanks to flemish for sending me that "skelliconnection" lp in one piece, that bonus album is too good to be true.
