My friend Poffy turned me on to Kutiman Mixes YouTube about an hour ago; I’ve watched it several times before realizing I needed to spread it around.  It appears that some guy got a bunch of YouTube videos and mixed them into a video album, compositing the video elements into a barely explicable thing which vascillates between montage, pastiche and 60s-style disoriented spook video.

It’s honestly mindblowing.  Speaking as someone thoroughly inured to things like the McRoll and the Windows song by being double oldbear enough to remember the various versions of .MOD, this really still tweaks all my knobs.  This isn’t just weird.  This is genuine music.  It’s good.

This is one an mazing.

There’s some surprisingly good music in this list.  I bought the Dethklok CD, and I just can’t stop listening to it.  Almost this entire list is available as DRM-free MP3s from Amazon’s music download service (yay affiliate links).  I’m linking the MP3 CDs where I can because they’re way cheaper and I find them more convenient, and frankly I hate ripping my CDs, so why bother, etc.  Also, where I know the band, which is a little over half this list and quickly growing, I’m linking specific albums I prefer.

It also helps that the Amazon pages have clips of songs that you can listen to, so if you’re looking for something specific you heard, you might be able to find it (and maybe some other good stuff too) here.

The list:

• Amon Tobin – Foley Room and Chaos Theory
• Aphex Twin – I Care Because You Do and Richard D. James Album

Quite a list.  Lots of good stuff in there.  Enjoy.

I’m already doing complex efficient randomization, API access, bulk posting, timed bulk posting, base autotagging, auto-categorization, a catalog widget, and I’m going to make sure that my stuff is compatible with the All In One SEO pack.  I’m going to provide integration points, and I’m going to provide an example integration with LightBox, or one of its relatives.  I’m going to provide voting, moderated tag suggestion and home-post permalinking.

I’ll also be writing strict, browser/version portable code without hacks.  Yay!

Please let me know what you’d want to see if there were a new image plugin coming out.
