Wonderwall: The Good

Well now I know why Liam and Noel Gallgher are so damn angry all the time...there are a lot of  bad Wonderwall covers on YouTube. Like ear bleeding bad. And yet I can't stop watching (like the last video...guy has a creepy hypnotic stare but I digress).

Help.

Thankfully there are some good ones....and some, that for whatever reason, caught my attention...

Ferris Bueller Recut

After seeing Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the theatre, JosephSBrett on YouTube decided to recut a trailer as an editing exercise.

Now I want him to recut all the trailers to all John Hughes movies.

Filmography 2010

Now grant it I haven't been to the movie theater since the 'Wedding Crashers' - damn children screwing up my movie viewing schedule...but after seeing this I feel like I'm all caught up.

It's a movie mash-up at it's best.

YouTube Video Chronicling The Year In Film:

genrocks | December 13, 2010 |
This year's movies have legitimately transformed my idea of what is creatively possible. To commemorate, I've remixed 270 of them into one giant ass video.

Music:

2. Kanye West - Power - http://tinyurl.com/27mpo83
3. Rooney - Not In My House - http://tinyurl.com/23vpakx

6. SUNBEARS! - Little Baby Pines - http://tinyurl.com/26d9brn

Films in order of appearance: http://tinyurl.com/2g3p6bs

Note: My film selection process was fairly open; anything that was either produced or distributed in 2010 was fair game (I also consulted this Wikipedia entry). This is why some movies are labelled 2009 or 2011 on IMDB. Also, this by no means constitutes a comprehensive list of films that came out in 2010. That would have been exhausting.

Hey Soul Sister

Cover of Train's 'Hey Soul Sister'....

Love the ukulele. Awesome cover.

Ke$ha meets Drake

This is getting mixed reviews on YouTube at the moment but I actually find it very catchy.The best part? I don't have to hear Ke$ha sing.

It's a mash up of Drake 'Over' featuring the music of Ke$ha's 'Blah, Blah, Blah' with 3oh!3...mash up done by WasteTimeChasingCars [WTCC].

U2 at the Rose Bowl....

Just in case you missed U2's Global Live Webcast performance at the Rose Bowl this past weekend [October 25, 2009]...here is the rebroadcast on YouTube.

U2 concert on YouTube

CONOR POPE

U2’S CONCERT in front of 96,000 fans at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in California on Sunday night will potentially reach millions after it was confirmed that it is to be streamed live on video-sharing website YouTube.

The broadcast, from 3.30am Irish time on Monday, is part of the Google-owned website’s ongoing attempt to boost its advertising revenue by moving beyond hosting short video clips into streaming full length films, television programmes and concerts.

It is seen by the band as a chance to widen its audience base as this year’s US tour winds down. U2 manager Paul McGuinness said: “Fans often travel long distances to come to see U2 – this time U2 can go to them, globally.”

The concert will be available in 16 countries, including the US, Ireland and Britain. Fans will be allowed to comment in real time through a Twitter feed and will be encouraged to make donations to Bono’s Red charity during the gig.

This is the first time YouTube has streamed an entire concert by a major international act. It has started streaming Hollywood films to US users and will offer a catch-up service for Channel 4 programming from early in 2010.

Advertising space will be available on archived gig footage. A YouTube spokesman said it has yet to be determined whether ads will be shown during the live gig.

YouTube music manager Michele Flannery said the site was confident it would be able to handle the millions of users expected to log on for the show. Two repeat showings will be broadcast immediately after the main event ends on Monday morning.
