funny... but I'm not about to stink up my clothes, home or body with either product.

"All this to promote a show IN THE CITY, and not just in the city, like some dump in Beverly, but AT GROUND ZERO OF WICKER PARK! oh, the irony!" That's a quote from my upcoming "Shit Self-Aware Obnoxious North Siders Say" video! (I kid! I kid! good stuff, guys!)

He says, "You think it's dead? It's coming back!" He means, "I'm writing checks to bribe... er, I mean lobby enough members of Congress to get any turd through."

@rapeasaurus1 More worried that with his head near the surface of the water, he's breathing a higher concentration of nitrogen and much less O2 than normal air. (actually, I wonder what the volume of the nitrogen in the bowl was versus the volume of that space. Clearly it didn't knock anyone ou...

@afsocpuma 1) Kitchen knives mean cooking - cooking means awesome! 2) Kelly sleeps with a loaded gun.... I don't think she'd be too concerned about someone bringing kitchen knives to a gun fight.

Rather than trying to argue facts against ranting here on Youtube, folks should just recognize that as much as HIV/AIDS is terribly destructive, so is mental illness.

meh... sexy is a hot woman driving/racing a car she built herself.

@karsown My take on US history is that the system is ALWAYS broken, but we managed to survive 1812, the Confederates, the Nazis and the USSR. Don't try "crisis" or "this time it's different" arguments, we're strong enough to survive. The 2 US parties span from far-right to semi-left - territory...

My first thought was "ugh - gimmick - gonna suck"... but did not suck! (The drummer is clearly the love child of Stephen Morris... wha? oh, right.. kids these days have no idea: the f'ing machinegod drummer of New Order)

FYI for building owners in Chicago - the City code requires that all fire escapes have an inspection done by a licensed Architect or SE, and that report submitted to the city once every five years. Almost no one is proactive about this - instead, one of the city "iron inspectors" will wander by,...

Oh? "Isabella Sleeps" eh? Is that the name you used to dance under, Craig?

It's nice that this version has been edited to remove some of the inaccurate voice over talking about "free style climbing" (she's free soloing...) But speaking of editing, the segment around 4:40 seems to have been cut in and not part of the actual climb (once she gets a foot up, she's within r...

holy crap ... it just clicked... Chris Isaak's Wicked Games!

Yep, I can say from personal experience that a small, empty warehouse, minimal lighting, DC on fire and a couple hundred people who are there for the express purpose of dancing beats the hell out of a club, elaborate lighting and circus arts performers on silks...

I assume this means that there will be both "lead" and "rhythm" parts for some songs, which would be very cool! (If it's just two players competing to play the same part, that would suck.)

And, yes! Seriously! Basssssssssss! The cable should work for bass as well as guitar, and plenty of p...

If they were really nice/smart, they'd follow Valve's lead, where buying a game on Mac Steam gets you the game on PC Steam also.... They would sell us one cable and one disk that will work on all platforms! ... Quit laughing.... A man can dream a little, can't he?

Soooo.... In the end, songs that are based on alternate tunings (full-on, as opposed to drop-whatever) are technically possible, but won't be common. But what about alternate fingering and/or alternate chords (e.g. "cowboy" G vs. barred G)? Alternate fingering for picked notes seems easy - midd...

How did Bernie/Johnny and/or their label select singles?!? 1) How was this not promoted as a single? 2) How has this not been used in a movie? I'd kill to see them do this live with them trading off between Bernie's note picking and Johnny's, uh, well, everything else virtuoso playing. Thanks!

Thanks! The world needs a lot more plain and to the point safety videos like this. Nice job using the handgun at the beginning to get our attention. (But if you were drunk and angry at me, I'd rather have you try to throw a corded grinder at me, than use that gun for what it's designed to do!)

The corporate puppets on Fox "News" TV & the twitching Tea Party wind-up dolls panicked at Common performing in the White House. They SHOUD panic because tonight kids across America are going to stumble on this and understand it. "My school is crumbling, but they give billions to oil companies?...

I noticed the two snare hit can't see the hand thing too. Check out the cover by dknow6 - it's from an over the shoulder view - you can clearly see how this works. I'm pretty sure the single hit on 2 is with the right hand, and that requires the visible shift. The hits on 4-and are with the le...

I was listening to your really good covers, reading the "same taste in music" comments, and I was thinking, "well, maybe slightly similar..." But between Phoenix, Metric, several others and THIS my favorite song from one of my current favorite bands... well... crap. I have to echo the "similar ...

Back here in Chicago we really had to give it up to "Fluffy Little Clouds" and "Pacific State." It may have been a bunch of drugged out English guys, but those tracks blew our minds.

@sryohei1234 Yeah, it's a problem. Keep looking - a few times a year something will be going on. Last July, Derrick Carter was at Westfest - things like that.

Ill advised war in Asia, leads to economic slowdown/crisis, and that results in freaked out "white" people lashing out in impotent violence. Yep, the late 70's homophobic/racist mob scene at the "Disco Demolition" was a preview of the Tea Bagg... er, I mean Tea Party.

Craig Ferguson should sue....
