For the fans of progressive rock I have created a new playlist. Now when I say progressive rock, Im referring to songs from the 60s and 70s by bands like Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd. I know there were other bands, ELP comes to mind, but I am limiting it to the bands I love. If you know of any videos I can add to my list, please let me know.

Directions:

1. Set your Itunes/WMA player to random, without any kind of sorting enabled.

2. Press play.

3. Write down the 1st ten tracks that play.

4. Be honest. If something embarrassing comes up, you must write it down, in fact, that is half the fun.

5. You may skip text tracks (Books on Tape, etc.)

The Sift has been surreptitiously inundated with music videos on this fine Friday evening.

Take a browse through the music queue and see what new sounds are there to stumble upon.

Time both correctly to play together.

I'm interested in making a play list with songs having lyrics of a political or anti-war nature. If you know of any, on VS, please leave a link in the comments.

Thanks, Eric

Prince and Radiohead in Youtube video skirmish

Videos of Prince's performance covering Radiohead's "Creep" are getting taken down all over YouTube from requests by Prince's lawyers (Prince hasn't been very supportive of YouTube as a medium to communicate his music)

Here's the weird part - Radiohead want them up.

The good folks at TechDirt report that Prince argues they're his performances. And Radiohead say it's their song. Should be an interesting development.

Link to the story:

Hope to see the video sometime - and of course here on the 'Sift

Playlist "Play All" option

I wish there were a way that I could play through every video in a playlist (either in order or randomly) all the way through without physically exerting any effort into all of this "mouse clicking" nonsense. This would also be awesome be able to do with specific channels as well.

What drove me to this idea is the want for music I've deemed playlist worthy being played in the background while I'm working. Wouldn't that be nice to have that, or standup comedy in the background or just if you want to watch random clips within a certain channel.
