Definitive Minnie?
Video Find of the Day
I can't get enough of Minnie The Moocher.
YouTube is making this harder for me. Too many choices. We'll see if this works.

Boop/ Calloway
Video Find of the Day
The best part of this, in my opinion, is the animation of the singer(s) of St. James Infirmary. They got Cab Calloway down. The description says it was "band".

Shai-Hulud
Video Find of the Day
This first Video Find in over two weeks is inspired by all the talk about what Obama has to face in assuming office. He has called up a big one. It is the legend.

Odissi Dance
Video Find of the Day
Classical Indian dance. The description doesn't say so, but I getting the idea the performers in these are typically teenagers, at the oldest. The last time I shared something like this, YouTube pulled the video within 24 hours. Hope this gets to stay.

Back to OCD
Video Find of the Day
Here's a sign that I may be recovering from my week of weak internet. I'm back to back-posting daily video finds! Here's a video from the Onion that was posted to YouTube in July, but is even better now, given the intervening stock market crash.

Holiday Song
Video Find of the Day
As we enter the holiday season, it's nice to find videos that tap into the holiday spirit. Here's one of Tom Lehrer doing a song I never heard him do before.

Melanesian Choirs
Video Find of the Day
New information requires me to reassess the nature of Broadstripe's suckiness. On the one hand, it turns out that we have not been suffering from a general outage. Our outage is specific to us (Anitra and I). On the other hand, they told us in an automated phone message that it was. On the third hand, we really should have known they were lying, called back and made them tell the truth. On the fourth hand, we have just now run out of hands between us, now, because we believed their lying suck-ass recorded message, we can't get someone to fix it now until Tuesday.
Meanwhile, one of the Real Change vendors recommended this music to me. It's from The Thin Red Line, a movie about the battle for Guadalcanal I've never seen.

Üsküdar
Video Find of the Day
Broadstripe still sucks, so I'm resigned to sitting in the office late after hours to use the internet. I'm there now, waiting for some stuff to download to my precious new laptop, which I expect will solve some of these problems, perhaps in a way that involves me spending more time than I wanted in a Starbucks.
Wikipedia says Üsküdar is the part of Istanbul on the Anatolian side of the Bosporus, and it was where Florence Nightingale got famous. These violinists were performing there. I don't know what the music is called.

Everly Brothers
Video Find of the Day
Oldies But Goodies from a 1961 TV performance. I was out of the country at the time, and walked in on this sort of thing later, after months of hearing Bésame Mucho played in Mexican shops 5 or 6 times a day.

I used to hate this kind of singing. But then, I used to hate onions. Now, a day without onions is like a day without hot peppers. We grow and change.

It's Greek
Video Find of the Day
I don't know what any of this is about. It sounds like a medley. Google translation says the tag ΔΗΜΟΤΙΚΑ means PRIMARY. This is my only clue. PRIMARY what? ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙΑ means SONGS. PRIMARY SONGS? Sometimes tags don't help.
ΦΥΛΙΩ ΠΥΡΓΑΚΗ ... (Το λουλουδάκι ...η Ιτιά ...)
