Ned's 4 Hour Challenge, Episode 1: "The One Mistake..."

[tdog1601]

Im the first one to comment on this in over a year! Still love it NED!!!!!!!!!

[thepatcat]

Amazing stuff! What else can I say, except 'More!' Please. :)

[rhubarbcub]

I'm quite happy with a moderate pageview count, considering that the truly viral videos usually involve a great degree of "I will probably die of embarrassment now that that's on the web for all to see"... :)

Oh, that, and I'm blessed with quality watchers rather than quantity watchers!

[Dolphinboy02056]

im so completely impressed o.o

[0123mcris]

Bravo! you are so talented!!!!!!

[rhubarbcub]

and you are so related to me so you have to think things like that :D

[mmonoob1313]

I saw that you should record that song you wrote for jazz camp in the summer of 08, "The Ballad of Ned Flanders." At least, i think thats what you called it.

[rhubarbcub]

Unfortunately, I didn't write that one! And I forgot which of the other guys did!

[stephenlizotte]

Still watching! Does that make me a fan or stalker?

[rhubarbcub]

It makes you about to be rewarded because I'm furiously learning to edit 4-Hour Challenge Video #2 right this minute! But don't hold your breath, still much to learn...

[yelinyellow]

I like the bass guitar you got

[Superfltch]

Ned... that was awesome. You have to be the most musically talented person I have ever met. As long as I live I will never forget that night you played Scott's kitchen to the Beatles. And the video work is great too. WoW... Amazing... simply amazing.  :D

[rhubarbcub]

Wow... I've forgotten... what, exactly, did I do?

[Superfltch]

You were just playing some Beatles toons by clanking pots and pans and smacking glasses of water while opening and closing the stove and kazooing with a straw. It was funny and sounded fantastic.

[rhubarbcub]

Wow... wish we'd had a camera back then, that sounds better than anything I have uploaded here so far :D

[march1959]

Good Job man. ha JP

[DispreteFranz]

Great job mate. Freakin awesome! =)

[dordulek]

oh...and the next song should be Respect!

[rhubarbcub]

Okay, but not in Tamra's key! :D

[dordulek]

Ned that was awesome. Kudos from Adam

[onexofthedead]

wow... I can't believe I haven't faved this yet!

The video documentary-style is so much fun!

[ozarkhills]

Excellent-TipTop-Wonderful

enough of the sillyness.....just a great effort and all who know what it takes should be taking the time ti ti

[TheProphetsEye]

Awesome! This guy is my teacher and he's on Youtube rockin the world!I think this video should be flagged for freakin awesomeness! I have to admit your singing is better than I thought it would be. P.S. Good job on the editing.

[aturpintine]

Nice!

[stephenlizotte]

Wowsers!!! Was that written for me? It's kinda biographical...LMAO!

[rhubarbcub]

You've uncovered my secret... yes, I'm systematically using your entire family for source material for my projects. Your sisters are next. Moooohahaha. ;)

[shany723]

ned, that was totally awesome..great song..

[charris2u]

Very interesting!

[rhubarbcub]

Yeah, I'd be HOPELESSLY behind then :)

[awaschick]

Very inspiring, Ned. Lots of us could do something great in four hours if we put ourselves to it, but so few of us actually do.

[rhubarbcub]

You're next...

[Mikeypod]

nice work!

[Sheherezade27]

Ned,

Love it. How did you keep the cat off the keyboard for four hours?

[rhubarbcub]

I promised her that she'd figure prominently in a future episode...

[Bell45akabelmaster45]

funky town good luck and great vid

[rhubarbcub]

Why does everyone clamor for Funky Town? Oh well :)

[bandgeekTsax]

Hey Ned, It's Laurie's daughter Ali.

THIS IS AWESOME. Next time however, Funky Town should be the obvious choice. :)

[rhubarbcub]

See my reply to Tdog. And congrats for being a band geek! That's the very best kind of geek! :D

[ShowDoc]

You need to record something about a hardware store, with, say, an eye-hook windchime, an anvil, a saw and a garden hose.

[rhubarbcub]

The saw is actually hard to play, tho...

[BearAZ]

Awesome video and music! Thank you for sharing this with us. Wish I had even half your talent!

A great added perk to the already excellent music and video - is that your also cute as hell! :-) (Ok, I'm kinda biased.)

[ravioliowned]

That was wonderful.

[tdog1601]

next time you should record funky town

[rhubarbcub]

The best way to do that would be to have some friends come out to McSalty's with video cameras and catch NR&NTB live. Are you (or is anyone else) up to it? :D

[tdog1601]

That was really freekin awesome!!!!!

[loanleyman]

Fantastic Ned! Just remember that video killed the radio star

[rhubarbcub]

Not to worry. I'm not a radio star. ;)

[singractr]

WE SHOULD DO POUR!!!! ;) That was great Ned! You are so amazing!

[rhubarbcub]

We SHOULD do Pour, but not as a 4 Hour Challenge. I don't want to rush you! :)

[duggercan]

I never knew you actually had 4 hours free. Don't let Jay know about those 4 hours!

[rhubarbcub]

Too late. He already gave me a tiny bit of crap about it. We just need to work him into a future episode. :)

[ymmijhcael]

Nice job, Neddie. Proud of you. Needs more trumpet.

[rhubarbcub]

Noted. It will be a jaunty trumpet in your honor. :)

[ChronosFT]

Excellent first attempt. You're very talented and you are underemployed! I can't wait to see the next installment. Oh, and as I would expect, your video has great production value.

[rhubarbcub]

I'm actually overemployed. The 4-hour time limit is my way of placating my partners and clients, who want to make sure I have time to work on their stuff... :)

[annette64]

Nice job for both of you.

[rhubarbcub]

Yay Jason :D

[WolfReign05]

This is REALLY good. If you mind me asking, do you have an idea of how all the instruments will mix from the beginning of making your song? 10/10

[rhubarbcub]

I do have a semi-solid idea, and I tend to first record the elements I'm most sure of; that way I leave room to experiment later on. On this project I was a bit unprepared; I went as far as tuning the acoustic guitar but ran out of time to actually record it! That'll learn me.

[pyroclasm32]

Yay for music!

[juddfry]

to answer your question--- whatever fresh batch of music your restless genius leads you to whip up...

[ShowDoc]

You are all cute and snuggly when you record a song in four hours, minus time for pizza. =:@*

[747ssabuk]

Fantastic! Love the song! And like you will ever have 4 hours free.....

[ozarkhills]

WoW!

[KTrentLR]

Ned this is GREAT!!!! Miss you buddy!

-Wil

[rhubarbcub]

I miss you too! We need a Ogre/GR reunion!

[tshall3]

Yeah, Ned! Very cool, bro.

[abtwofivetwofive]

First! This song is amazingness! You've got real talent! Say, you don't talk on any IM networks do you? ;)

[rhubarbcub]

Brat.  ;)
