Spinal Tap is returning to raise awareness of “Live Earth,” a series of events that will occur on July 7, 2007. The events are focused on bringing attention to global warming.
It’s amazing to watch this considering how many times we’ve all watched Spinal Tap. But I wish it was 5 3 minute videos instead of 15.
It’s years old, but it’s still one of my favorite online videos. In “Sound-a-Vision,” watch Homestar runner and his enemy Strongbad have a duel to settle their battle over the remaining parsnips at the depot. It’s a wonderful homage to early films with bad edits, repetitive lines, missing scenes and awkward pauses.
I was on Hulu this morning looking for the classic Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken “Need More Cowbell” skit. I felt tricked when I was taken to “Funny or Die,” where I found amateur content. Then I got curious about how an amateur got on Hulu. Sure enough two of my videos snuck onto Hulu…
The irony isn’t missed by the creators, but here’s an audio podcast about online video blogging (aka vlogging). Courtesy of Steve Garfield’s “Off on a Tangent.”
What Video Export Settings Will Give Me the Best YouTube HD Quality? I get this question a lot, and here’s a nice resource by Brian Gary on KenStone.com, and it goes into great detail.

What’s your favorite consumer-generated advertisement? (See Joseph Jaffe’s dated but comprehensive iMediaConnection article to get a better understanding of what CGA is). A classic is when iPod lover and teacher George Masters creates his own online campaign for Apple iPod. HappySlip’s Mac Beautiful is one of my favorites, and it was seen more than a…
GOOD News. I’ve updated this for 2024… see the top 10 list of my favorite video and office gadgets and accessories. Let’s face it. Looking bad on Zoom is now the professional equivalent as having bad breath and a cheap suit. For the past few years I’ve worked remotely, and since Covid I’ve been experimenting…

You’re right. It’s too long. Unlike my Earth Day video. Let’s watch mine instead…

See what I just did there? How shameless was that?
AFAIC, Spinal Tap has always been too long, but I do like their individual work. While that’s loading, so I can skip through it, I’ll head on over and watch Mark Day’s shameless plug.
Why do I feel like smoking weed right now?
You’re right. STOP global warming.
thanks for your post

Global warming is claptrap. Thirty years ago it was the new “Ice Age.” Liberals are lucky that morons have short memories.
Shocking to see the ever-shortening attention span of the contemporary mainstream… “Spinal Tap too long ? Too slow”?!? Even in their late 50’s these are still some of the sharpest comedic minds working today. Even their throwaway gags are smarter than most of the dumbed down schlock that passes for comedy today.
It’s sad to observe that Satire itself is evaporating on the comedy landscape. The “I’m Like” generation is so stupified from simpleminded video games, frat boy stand up, hip hop machismo and mind numbing fantasy that more subtle humor isn’t even registering on the collective radar.
Sadly, Guest, Shearer and McKean seem to have been banished to the remotest fringe, where they await the next renaissance….
