What Can't You Find On The Internet?

Sam - sorry.

Which is a real bitch cos every other fucker does.

My God - I never realised this! And it seemed such an apt monker anyway (he is from Barnet, he is ape-like). How extraordinary!

Also moving pictures (say Real Video) of Mazinger Z are unfindable.

In the meantime, it's part of the zip file of Pavement tabs you can get here (click on "All Pavement Tabs!!"), though it doesn't seem to be available separately. It's only an 84k zip file, so it won't take long to download, but if you'd rather not get the whole zip then let me know and I'll send you the individual file.

Also, from what I've seen, full details of exactly which seats changed hands in UK general elections up to 1970, though I might just not have looked hard enough.

In fact, information on 60s-70s ska and reggae seems to be pretty sparse in general, sadly. I also can't find mp3s of a couple of dancehall tracks I'm looking for, but I should probably stop being a cheapskate and buy them, except I have no idea where I'd buy them.

I'm having one of my intermittent reggae obsessions, as you can probably tell...

I can't find a resolution for the www contradiction between Lloyd Cole, on the Lloyd site, saying he loves Robert Quine and they're going for NYC Chinese food next week, and Quine, on the Quine site, saying, "Lloyd Cole just wants to make MOR records for the commercial radio" etc.

Most importantly, I can't find 'Ask And He'll Answer' Nicky D answering my question of a while back, namely: why are there two different versions of the Magnetic Fields' GET LOST LP?

Do you have to go and buy tracks while they're still reasonably new, or is there a fair bit of back stock? And are the Greensleeves riddim compilations mixed or do they feature full-length tracks? I'm mainly looking for "Money To Burn" (don't know who this is by but it rocks) and Mr Easy's "Crazy", both of which are based on the Buy Out riddim, but I'd be interested in any other Buy Out tracks or, well, anything, really. (Cue lots of dancehall connoisseurs laughing at me - as you can see, I don't really know what I'm talking about at all. I feel far too white and middle-class to say "riddim", as well, but it seems fairly unavoidable.)

Anyway, thanks very much for your help, much appreciated, you rock. And an excuse for a record-shopping trip to the Berwick Street area is always appreciated, even if I haven't dared venture into the non- indie shops before :)

(sorry) :-)

Really, I was amazed!

I needed some for the inlay of a mix CD I was making for a friend, but I couldn't find any. Had to use some generic girl-girl stuff and change the names.

It must be out there somewhere surely!?!

Trying to find the name of a BBC TV series on photography which was broadcast about ten years ago. USP was it looked into the stories behind particular historic photographs e.g Hindenburg disaster, Kim Phuc Vietnam photo interveiwing the photographers,participants and witnesses.

The British television version of The Owl Service.

I really want to know why Donald Tusk has such a ridiculous, un-Polish name, but the internet will not help me (in English, anyway).

Also, I can't find that Nazi propaganda poster of the Jewish octopus controlling the world (the head is a dollar sign centred on New York, and in a neat touch the tentacle stretching to the Philippines has been severed by a samurai sword).

A Chinese communist propaganda poster I saw in the Tate once called "The Nightmare of Future War" which was either the inspiration for the opening scenes of Terminator, or a startling coincidence. Or a fake. There was a futuristic warplane that really was similar to the ones in the film, searchlights and flak, and the ground was a sea of skulls.

i was wondering about donald tusk too! apparently the donald comes from an englishman his grandma fell in love with (it was his dad's name too) but i got no leads on tusk. of scandinavian origin i suppose? pronounced toosk anyhow.

A way to find out what the song in your head is when you don't know the words, only the tune.
"Boyz Unlimited", sitcom by Matt Lucas and probably David Walliams which I vaguely remember being funny.

Um, I can't find that thread that is "This is the thread where we get people to dig up stuff on ILX that we can't find"

Ironic I know.

Specifically, I'm looking for the links to that awful music device where you put your hand infront of light beams while some horrible general midi tunes play.

Is that really irony? I mean, I understand that there is something ironical about that thread where people complain about how much they dislike people who complain, but what about where you can't find the thread that is for people who can't find the threads they are looking for? I would call that tragicomic. Would I call it ironic? I am just not sure.

I am not saying it isn't irony. I am saying, I need some guidance here. I am curious as to whether it is irony or not. I feel my understanding of irony has become suject to modernist, morissettian redefinitions.

Or perhaps it is cosmic irony, or meta irony? And what I thought was irony was merely hypocrisy...?

I'm going home.

I have no idea whether it has anything to do with his name, but apparently Donald Tusk is Kashubian.

The name of an American film/music critic from the 1930'S/40'd. I think Frank Kogan may have namedropped him.

Skin thickness varies with age and body location, but averages only 1 to 2 millimeters (0.04 to 0.08 inches) thick.

I found Boyz Unlimited! It's now on 4OD. There is hope for us all.

thanks Noodle, but I think that only applies to the epidermis?

I don't think so, the FDA website I got that from says that's the whole skin, epidermis and dermis.

Reply to czn, no it wasn't Manny Farber, I think this critic may have died in the 40s or 50s, and was one of the first to write seriously on popular music in the 1930s.

Anyone who may be interested in the photography series I was looking for, it was this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1256109/

first line is a a lot clearer on Paralyzed '80s:

"I got a girl, way down south, she ain't gonna see me 'less I pull my shades down, paralyzed"

Think I'll go mad if I try to decipher any more.

ok it is "across town" not "down south".

The Return of Pipecock Jackson by Lee Perry

As far back as I can remember, which must be something like 1978 ish, there was a canal bucket dredger that appeared just every now and again on the M.S.Canal near our home. This thing would be dredging about three hundred yards or so down the canal and made the most haunting echoing bucket scraping noises all day long.

This thing utterly fascinated me as a kid, I would stand and watch it for hours. Once it was so close to the road side when I returned home from school that I failed to get home and just stood there until my parents had to send out a search party.

1979 was probably the last time I saw this thing.

So did the internet search function provide me with the fond memories of this iron beast from my childhood? weeeeell, I think I found a photo of the dredger I'm looking for, but...

The Witton II Bucket Dredger

the damn thing's sunk.

video of a kevin kilbane wondergoal for everton about 4-5 years ago. beat two men with a neat turn, covered about twenty yards and finished with a scorcher from fully 25-30 yards.

Naked ladies.

No, wait, there they are.

Yo! MTV Raps

Pictures of the Bucket Bikini Man. If anyone can locate the site it came from or has the pictures saved on their computer and can share them, I'd be eternally grateful.

To explain it for nu-ILXors: Bucket Bikini Man was a picture of a chubby guy wearing a bikini made of plastic toy buckets, and it was posted on ILX quite often. There was also another pic where the same dude was wearing a bikini made of stuffed toy animals. I once managed to find the site where the pics came from, they were from a homemade bikini contest (all the other contestants were women). Sadly, despite searching for it several times, I haven't found the site again. Could be it's not online anymore.

Here's another thing I've tried to find online, I posted about it on ILM but maybe someone here can help:

I have a track ID request, this has been bothering me for years. I'm not sure if anyone even remembers this, but let's give it a try... If you watched MTV Europe in the nineties, you probably remember that they sometimes used run these inserts between the ad breaks and the shows. They were kinda like the famous MTV logo animations, but longer, and they often used pre-existing tunes, sometimes mixed together. Now, one of these inserts featured glowing, flickering, black & yellow images of guys in commando ski-masks, urban landscape, skulls, electricity, etc - rather industrial type of imagery. The music playing during the clip was a fast acid house tune (with 303) with the guitar riff from Metallica's "Unforgiven" mixed on top of it. I really liked the acid house tune, but I never found out what it was, so I wonder if someone else might've seen the same clip and recognized the tune?

I've been trying to find the actual video clip online, but so far with no results. I guess there's no archive site for old MTV inserts?

― Tuomas, 27. elokuuta 2008 0:16 Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

Okay, I just realized that the riff wasn't actually from "Unforgiven" but from "Wherever I May Roam" - the jangly bit in the beginning of the song.

1. The name of the group or person who did the rap song "Parking Lot" and the name of the group or person who did the rap song "Sick of This Shit" and the name of the group or person who did the rap song "It's a Robbery." All of the songs have simple, repetitive lyrics and simple, monotonous, techno-hop beats. The guy who ran the bootleg CD/DVD place behind the shrimp place called it "the Haitian stuff," but that might be misleading.

2. The name of the record the cover of which Belle & Sebastian parodied for "Sing Jonathan David."

There was this movie I saw once, a friend bought it on VHS at a video store going-out-of-business sale, and it was called Interface. It's from the 80s and it's really low budget but it's really cool. A kind of mystery movie with hacker elements and weird vocoder voice effects and silly synthesizer soundtrack. And as low budget as it was, it was a damn entertaining movie, and I remember thinking the lead actress did a great job taking the material seriously and making it fun at the same time.

I've been looking for this ever since, on DVD, on torrents, on AVI rip, etc. To no avail. Please, if you have a digital copy of this movie email me at adam (dot) bruneau (at) gmail (dot) com...

My library has about a million giallo movies without subtitles. The world is so big!

When I was little, there was a children's video that was either titled or featured a song called "Windjammer Way", and it was about this little girl who was like on her way to a birthday party or some shit, and she ended up at a playground, and there was some animation with a penguin. If anyone has seen this or knows what it's called or has a copy I will pay lots of money for it.

whether the keyboard riff in Salt N Pepa's "Push It" is a sample, and if so where from.

ALSO the sample in the chorus of "Fight the Power" that sounds like a little girl singing/saying "hug and kiss"

whether the keyboard riff in Salt N Pepa's "Push It" is a sample, and if so where from.

It sounds like a rather typical electro influenced keyboard riff of that era, why would you think it's a sample? Plus in 1987 sampling wasn't yet that common in rap, I think. Or do you mean if the melody played on the keyboard is borrowed from somewhere?

i'm pretty sure that the keyboard riff for "push it" was NOT a sample.

a video i saw on some blog, made in the early 90s(?) to promote a club in Ibiza. featured a snippet of Kid Creole & the Coconuts.

There used to be a site which listed vintage musical instruments, and what they were currently going for on eBay... Can't for the life of me find it now. Anyone remember what it was called?

I've been unable to find out who directed the video to the Specials song Ghost Town

recorded it themselves while driving round, maybe?

stupid question, but I'm having trouble figuring out the answer:

let's say you break your foot. you go to the doctor and get crutches. when your foot heals, what do you do with the crutches? do they get returned to the doctor? are they yours to keep? what do people do with crutches?

You give them back when you're better.

I can't find the name of a kids tv programme from the 80s that featured a Bungle-style big brown dog riding around on a quad bike.

I'm pretty sure you can keep the crutches. Your insurance company has already paid for them. I have crutches in my attic from when I broke my leg in 1999.

I think this depends if you live in a country with free public health care or not. If it's the former, you probably have to return to them; at least in Finland I think you have to.

But ZS is American, right? So in there I guess you or your insurance company will have to pay for them, so you'll probably keep them then.

In Australia you take them back to the doc/hospital, but we have the free public health care.

In the '80s there was some thing that was a sweepstakes or contest of some sort that involved a unicorn or maybe a hedge maze or labyrinth. I remember seeing ads for it on TV and maybe in print as well. It was either a TV show or some kind of book or book series. Maybe a mystery, choose your own adventure, solve the puzzle kind of thing? But something that was kind of big and advertised on TV. But somehow not for kids. Or I imagined the whole thing.

what was that show in the late 90's early 2000's that involved people racing around a grocery store trying to find certain items on a list? and i think the reward was that they got to keep all their groceries? it was on daily, on upn or something.

supermarket sweep. my family was obsessed with this show at one point in the early 90's.

fuck ya law!

actually i thought it read 'fuck yeah', but either way... "excitement"!!!

i prefer to say "excitement!" over "fuck yeah!" irl.

what i'm looking for

supermarket sweep. my family was obsessed with this show at one point in the early 90's.

It was on Lifetime, not UPN.

Good work aimless!

Supermarket Sweep! I remember watching on cable it as teen and thinking, "Only in America...".

"watching it on cable"

the lyrics to "idi amin" by black randy and the metrosquad

wk - is this what you mean?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masquerade_(book)

Thanks, Aimless!

Supermarket Sweep! I remember watching on cable it as teen and thinking, "Only in America...".

can't be sure, but did it start in the UK?

certainly existed there in the mid 90's. you don't forget dale winton in a hurry

The American version must've been around in the early 90s, because I remember watching it when I was like 13.

According to Wikipedia:

The original show was broadcast on ABC (December 1965-July 1967), with revivals airing on Lifetime (February 1990-May 1995, reran until August 1998) and later PAX (April 2000-May 2003, reran until March 2004).

So it was 1990-95 version that I saw. The UK version started in 1993.

this feels so wrong

wk - is this what you mean?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masquerade_(book)

Aha, thanks! I don't think that's exactly it, but it may have been one of the other ones they mention there. I didn't realize this was a whole genre and was starting to think it was a false childhood memory.

Finally found it. thanks again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure:_In_Search_of_the_Golden_Horse

no wonder this thing haunted me as a kid http://www.njcomputerguys.com/treasure/supplemental.mp4

Thing I can't find:

A feature article about a working-class black teenager who would weasel/con his way into the lives of wealthy folks by hanging around Upper East Side cellphone stores, charming young people, and presenting himself as part of their social scene. Constructed various amazing identities and wound up in prison.

I'm 90% positive this feature was either in the New York Press or the Village Voice, but I could be wrong.

Ah, never mind, I turned it up!

http://www.villagevoice.com/2007-02-27/news/the-blackberry-trickster/

didn't the wayons brothers do a movie something along those lines?!

The article actually makes parts of it sound more like Woody Allen's Zelig

Manual for casio f91 watch. This should be easy surely?

Gravel did you try this ting? No idea whether it'll work, as one needs the actual watch to use it.

I have trouble finding scripts for plays. even just samples (although Google has made that easier with that one feature they have). Mostly I find it useful when trying to prepare for an audition but not having time to go to the library first, or if it is after business hours.

Someone here should be able to help with this.

looking fot that quote about Sonic Youth (think it was Xgau) that "record collectors shouldn't form bands" or something to that effect

I know this is months late, but the video for "Ghost Town" was directed by Barney Bubbles. 

Advice needed: there's a book which is incredibly difficult to find (none 2nd-hand anywhere, for example), but it's just sitting on the LA public library shelves. I'm in Australia. How would one go about getting someone to photocopy/scan this sucker, and how would one pay them securely from the other side of the world, while being sure you'd get the scans? Seems like this is something other people must have done.

Can't you just email the library staff, surely they know if/how it can be done?

^I don't think library staff aren't going to assist you in copyright theft

*are

I'm pretty sure it isn't theft/violation of copyright law if you're a student. If not, it'd be a bit more dodgy. Is there no Australian equivalent of the British Library, i.e. a central repository of all books published in the country?

There is, but presumably the book has not been published in Australia?

try http://www.worldcat.org/

also, have you asked about arranging an interlibrary loan? its a long way, but ppl keep telling us the world's getting smaller

just out of curiosity, what's the book?

trying to find some kind of gif/jpeg of an internet toughguy typing out something he thinks is all barbed searing charlie brooker style criticism, but everyone else sees richard littlejohn. dunno if this exists but my facebook feed is getting cluttered with this kind of numbnut so desperately seeking handy gifbomb

It's 'Monday Morning', by Patrick Hamilton. And yes, doesn't seem to have had an Aus publication, only UK and US, and Worldcat tells me my nearest copy is Los Angeles!

If you want to pay somebody to do this, you could probably find someone on freelancer.com. I don't know what the going rate would be, though.

Will it actually be under copyright? Published 1925, author died 1962 - that's a long time ago.

And doesn't Ned live in LA and work in a library? He's an amiable fellow and might know someone who could help. (I may be making this up entirely)

Maybe try to contact Faber Finds (http://www.faber.co.uk/faberfinds/)?

They were maybe planning to republish it, according to one of the comments here: http://jonathanfryer.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/patrick-hamilton-revisited/

trying to find some kind of gif/jpeg of an internet toughguy typing out something he thinks is all barbed searing charlie brooker style criticism, but everyone else sees richard littlejohn.

Sorry was this directed at me?

My comment wasn't supposed to be a "barbed searing charlie brooker style criticism" at all. The impression I got from the query was that the poster wanted to find someone to wholesale copy and scan a book for him from a library. In Britain at least, copying more that 5% of a book or one chapter is generally seen as copyright theft irrespective of whether or not you are student, so I don't think contacting library staff to ask to do this would be a smart move. I realise its LA and not the UK, but presumably the law isn't that different in the US.

I apologise if it is - sheesh.

james m. i would actually start with your local library (if you haven't already)--tell them your situation and ask them if they could reach out to some places that have this and do an interlibrary loan.

would be vastly easier if you were a student, but librarians do love a challenge.

xpost, eh? no not at all, like i said in my post its a cpl of folks off 'my facebook feed'. there is a lot of that shite on ilx tho obv but your comment seemed fairly legit

And I think Tuomas was rightly suggesting that the best people to ask in the first instance - which maybe James had already done - are librarians to see if they can help with getting it, perhaps through some kind of inter-library loan.

If he then finds that the copyright issue is the obstacle, he can make his own decision about whether to try to go ahead with another route.

(I used to be a librarian and loved a challenge of this sort, as call all destroyer says)

a thing that I think is not available online is extensive footage of Tottenham Hotspur playing in the Littlewoods Cup in 1987.

I will try challenging some local librarians--it certainly seems worth a shot!

Sadly, I was that person who said Faber Finds was going to do it (as I was told by their editor), but that never happened.

Amazing, thanks! Spent ages roving about on Google maps last night trying to find that damn street. Cheers..

Any kind of biography of J.W. Buel, an author of fantastic stories about explorers in Africa in the 19th century. All I have found so far is a list of his works. My interest was piqued when I started reading about real carnivorous plants on Wikipedia and at the tail end of the article there was a section on fictional examples which included "Depiction of a native being consumed by a Ya-te-veo ("I see you") carnivorous tree of Central America, from Land and Sea by J.W. Buel, 1887".

ok, not just Africa, tropical places in general. Beginning to wonder whether Buel was a pseudonym, perhaps of a more serious writer.

Not a biography, but more than a list of works: appears to be one of his books. Was pretty easy to find, so you may well have seen this already.

Charles M. Young interviewed Carly Simon for Rolling Stone in 1978, and he had what I remember as a funny line about Simon's baby. I wanted to quote it the other day, and I can't find it anywhere.

the identity of the overweight dude on the UK cover of the Fatboy Slim album You've Come a Long Way, Baby. You'd think it would be easy to discover who he is, as it's an iconic 90s image. Comparable example: t's easy to find out the identity of the baby on Nevermind.

Appears I'm not the only person who's curious about this.

Not the identity, but suggests that his permission wasn't received (hence it not being used in North America):

Complete historical records for football league clubs. You'd think you'd be able to find out just how Derby County fared in the second half of the 75-76 season, or the details of Everton's thrilling winning sequence early in 80-81, but, somewhere between sites trying to cover everything (that Austrian site with its list of Andorran post-war Cup finals) and club sites maintained by fans (last update: 3-1-97), this info seems lost.

incredibly long-shot this. i had a recipe for a roast chicken (covered in foil and steamed using stock, with veg like leeks and carrots cooked in the roasting tin as well) with a grilled lettuce thing on the side and brown rice with chorizo (or salami). it was a recipe from one of the guardian food magazines, possibly a nigel slater one. probably the best meal i've ever had in my life. it's been an age since i last made it and have no clue where to start with it - searched everywhere online and no joy. does anyone know the recipe i mean? or a very similar one that might cut it?

ok forget the chorizo chicken, can anyone source me the video from here: http://www.robertpopper.com/2010/06/28/have-you-ever-seen-a-strongman-do-this/

one of the most fucked-up funny things ive ever seen online, really want a copy of the video to show at people but the main guy made it private!

a video of sally field going "you like me! you really really like me!"

From wikipedia:

Then came a second Oscar for her starring role in the 1984 drama Places in the Heart. Field's gushing acceptance speech is well remembered for its earnestness. She said, "I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!"[4] The line ending in "...I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!" is often misquoted as simply, "You like me, you really like me!" which has subsequently been the subject of many parodies. (Field parodied the line herself in a commercial.[citation needed]) The phrase, "You like me" was originally from her wry, understated, famous reply in the film Norma Rae, but many people[citation needed] totally missed the subtle, sophisticated connection in her acceptance speeches, with that point in the film.

But then you probably knew that. Couldn't find the video either.

Trying to find a list of Sassy Cute Band Alert recipients. Any ideas?

years ago I was told or read a story where an artist ( maybe Christo? ) got a grant (maybe from Belgium )to "paint the desert" so off he went to the desert and it was only months later that his patrons realised that he was taking the instruction literally and had actually painted acres of desert (possibly bright blue) . Anyway, trying to find some internet proof that I didn't just make it up.

Sounds apocryphal to me.

I know, totally. but otoh, I'm pretty sure I didn't originate it, much too neat a story.

I've been trying to find evidence of a mural on a side of a tower block (?) in London which featured John Noakes and his dog Shep. I remember seeing it in a documentary about Noakes sometime in the 90s but haven't been able to find a picture of it.

Billy... http://www.flickr.com/photos/schnappi/176439533/in/photostream/ ???

No, that's not it. It's just John Noakes and Shep and was a big 'un, probably about 100 ft by 50 ft. I'm not imagining it as it's mentioned here http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/classic/bluepeter/presenters/noakes.shtml

I've been looking forever for a house track which looped a black female diva (or drag queen?) voice saying "don't be throwin' no shade / I"m just trying to get paid" over and over and over again- production wise it was a lot like Uncanny Alliance "I Got My Education"- that era. I have searched high and low on the internet for this and have found exactly nothing. Help this crippling 90s deep house nostalgia trip out people!

If you search for "dressing room mirror" you can find some photos like this:

Penderecki's OST for Resnais' 'Je t'aime, je t'aime'

http://i52.tinypic.com/2jg04ck.jpg

Grandpont Genie, the Barclays Bank on Park Lane was originally a house belonging to a soap manufacturer named R.W. Hudson.

The Park Lane millionaires did not like houses of the conventional type and indulged their fancy in styles of the past, like Mr RW Hudson, the soap king, who built himself a mediaeval folly, Stanhope House, decorated with heraldic shields and gargoyles, his cult of the past even making him prefer narrow gothic windows which restrict the glorious view of the Park. This quaint house - the work of WH Romaine Walker - by some miracle still stands at the corner of Stanhope Street opposite the Dorchester Hotel. The ground floor is occupied by the Park Lane branch of Barclays Bank, which has entered into the gothic spirit by inscribing its name in 'Olde Worlde' gold lettering on the front.

(http://books.google.com/books?id=K2IDAAAAMAAJ&q=%22the+soap+king,+who+built+himself+a+%22&dq=%22the+soap+king,+who+built+himself+a+%22&hl=en&ei=8tY1TpuZMsPY0QGzuN3oCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA)

Stanhope House, Park Lane, which was erected in 1901 for Mr. R. W. Hudson from the designs of Mr. W. H. Romaine-Walker, is the "house beautiful" of Park Lane. As it was especially desired by the owner that the Gothic treatment should be adopted, the period selected was the ate fourteenth century, with flamboyant feeling in the tracery and mouldings. The stone used is the grey Forest of Dean, while the roof is of copper. The main feature of the Park Lane frontage is the treatment of the bay windows, three in number, starting at the balcony of the first floor and continuing to the parapet level; on the Great Stanhope Street front there is an oriel bay. Inside, the decoration of the principal rooms has been most choicely carried out in the Adams style, which lends itself effectively to the beautiful collection of satinwood furniture, old blue china, and valuable pictures by Gainsborough, Romney, Hoppner, and other masters.

(http://books.google.com/books?id=xMzfAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA182&dq=%22stanhope+house%22%2B%22rw+hudson%22&hl=en&ei=Hdg1ToWNGofV0QH6r6mADA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22stanhope%20house%22%2B%22rw%20hudson%22&f=false

The magnificent gothic design of Stanhope House was the work of WH Romaine-Walker in 1898. Originally occupied by RW Hudson, the soap manufacturer, the building has been a Barclays branch since 1952.

anyone have idea what this is/was?

I saw this video on youtube where a slightly past-his-prime Brian Wilson was playing piano singing some classic Beach Boys song (God Only Knows? Don't Worry Baby? Surfer Girl? I don't remember). partway through the performance, the camera panned out to reveal Brian sitting at a grand piano in the middle of a sandbox with toys scattered all around. I'm guessing it was a TV appearance from the '70, and the setting was probably a studio rather than Brian's actual living room. anyone know what I'm talking about?

it's not his SMiLE-era solo "Surf's Up" performance (which doesn't feature a sandbox), although it reminds me of that somewhat.

median household net worth back to 1800. i realize that obviously there's not solid data once you go past 1960 or whatever. but somewhere out there, someone has probably estimated, year by year, how much a median household's net worth was back in the 1800s.

i'm looking for it because i was trying to make a neat chart showing how how rich all of the US presidents have been compared to the median. i've got the data for the presidents. not the citizens.

plausibly correct lyrics to "Cockney Translation" by Smiley Culture. The giveaway that the lyric-site attempts are all copied from each other is that in most of them, apparently "Cockney have name like Treey", which I don't believe for a second.

The version I just looked at looked ok but badly-typed. "Treey" is a typo for "Terry", right? As in Terry and Arthur off Minder? And Cockney live on a drum, not a brum. Etc.

I remember there was some sort of music video that featured a horribly-animated Godzilla-like creature. Maybe it was a Ja Rule video? Maybe it coincided with the 1998 film? Maybe it was never actually released, but it was very expensive to make? Somehow my Google skills are not helping me today.

Michael Gove's appearance on 'University Challenge: The Professionals', approx 10 years ago, I think it was Times hacks vs Guardian hacks. I'd never heard of him before but I have a very clear memory of him frequently hitting the buzzer to answer a question, being told he had got the answer wrong and the camera catching then him screwing his face up in this look of 'but how can this be?' bafflement/petulance. For years afterwards when I saw him the paper/on TV I thought 'oh, it's that prat from University Challenge'.
I can't find any reference to this on the internet though, let alone video footage, can anyone else confirm if it I'm just imagining the whole thing?

There's a passing mention of it here, so at least you can be reassured that it probably did happen.

Thanks!

I'd love to see that!

I feel like I remember it quite vividly, I know I formed an immediate negative impression of him that was subsequently reinforced by every single thing I saw him do/say, but maybe my present day familiarity with Gove is causing my memory to exaggerate how badly he came across.

This is another thing I think I saw I once on TV that I wanted to check if anyone else could remember:
A Comic Relief broadcast, around the mid 90s I think, during a segment hosted by Jonathan Ross. They show one of the brief 'serious' videos of a US celeb sitting in a chair making an appeal for people to donate, this time it's Woody Allen, earnestly talking about the vital work done by charities supported by Comic Relief. We cut back to Ross after the video, who says, mock sincerely, 'there you go, and if you can't trust Woody Allen, who can you trust?' followed by hysterical laughter/disbelief from the audience.

No record of this seems to exist on the internet as far as I can tell. Did anyone else see it?

The recording of Yngwie Malmsteen saying "you've unleashed the fuckin' fury" on an airplane after a woman dumps a glass of water on him. It was a big Internet hit back in the day, but as far as I can tell, all links to it are broken, and whenever I try to Google it I get his Unleash the Fury album. Can anyone help me out? I'd love to hear it.

DOODLE-MATION (Screen Magic, available for Windows, $29.95) If you like to draw as a way to relax, this product lets you "doodle to your art's content." It installs in two minutes and provides a pallette of shapes, colors, high resolution graphics and VCR-type controls to freeze and restart patterns. If you like anything you've doodled, you can add sound to it and save it as Windows wallpaper. Very cute if you have 2MB to spare. (Netta Gilboa)

http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue162/120_Doodlemation.php

i am DYING to have that, if anyone does

The product is essentially a high-tech melding of two venerable childhood favorites, Etch A Sketch and Spirograph. The major differences, of course, are its brilliant VGA graphics (compatible with 16 colors, but 256 colors are preferred) and stunning computer-assisted animation. The creation process is remarkably easy: Place one or more geometric shapes on the doodle canvas, and define a movement path, shape behavior, and color scheme. Then hit the Go button and watch your creation burst to life. The 12 preset shapes are completely scalable, allowing you to bend, stretch, and shrink them to create new curves and angles. Movement paths are also quite versatile, including stationary, straight, circular, spiral, bounce, and magnetic (attracted to the mouse pointer). You can even draw freehand paths for the shapes to follow.

WTF this is amazing

i feel you on that doodle-mation. what i can't find is any reference whatever to a late 80's text adventure (with graphics) where you're a detective or spy or some such (a fedora is involved) and there's a phone booth, a bomb in a hotel, a cage with a gorilla, and if you got blown up you appeared in the clouds playing a little harp and if you typed swear words you saw a picture of your character in a toilet bowl and the only way to continue was to type "SORRY". i didn't just imagine that game - i know it's true because if i did there would have been all kinds of swear words allowed! in fact, if it had been up to me, you could have stood anywhere and typed "DAMN FUCK SHIT ASS SHIT FUCK DUMB BASTARD STUPID FUCKIN SHIT ASS GOD DAMN IT" etc. and it would have been like "Congratulations! You've figured out life!"

The original soundtrack to "Joysticks" the 1983 movie. I'm looking for the song "Vidiot" in particular.

Look for Joysticks DVDrip & convert the audio?

The Wassailing Song by Blur except iirc one crap YouTube. I search this out every so often in the hopes it's changed: in the tape happy 90s, someone sent me it on a mixtape :(

It's been officially re-released on disc 16 here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blur_21

Oh shit! Of course, I never bought that because I was broke at the time, and when I had the money I bought the vinyl box instead. I'll hunt it out!

Thank you!

If the mail address you used to register on ILX still works, I've sent you a mail about this (check your spam folder perhaps)

It does, but the email was empty? Shall check from a computer later today (only on phone at the moment) - the wassailing bowl I drink to thee!

I seem to remember in 1987 or 1988 some band putting a full page advert in the NME praising The Beatles 'Helter Skelter'. Always thought is was Sonic Youth but can't find anything about it online. Did I dream it? (Even if true it's probably less interesting than I remember it.)

I don't know, but I started reading NME with the Christmas 87 issue and think I would have remembered this, so if it happened I'd say it was pre-88.

There was a thread about sitting with one leg tucked underneath you and I can't find it and I need it because I'm starting to wonder if my inability to sit like a normal adult is indicative of some greater issue at hand. Help.

Right now I am sitting in a lotus position on my desk chair and this weekend my dad was saw me doing it at the dining table and was like "Why can't you just ever sit normal?!" :(

I wish I could sit in a lotus position on my desk chair. I'd last about 20 seconds.

ENBB -

Was it this one?

Sit Like A Normal Person!

It wasn't but that's the general idea.

why do I sit with my legs folded under me until they go to sleep and then ARGGGGHHH WHY WHY WHY

There's a separate thread for things you can't find on ILX by the way. But maybe you couldn't find it.

this is pretty hard but i think it was posted to ilx once -

a bit of concept art, some (mb) red&black text on a white background containing a robert barry-style instruction. it was something about banging two rocks together in the desert, "do it a thousand times"

x-post - Yes, I know but I was too lazy to look tbh.

So recently I learned that my first concert was Roy Orbison and The Beach Boys sometime in the 80s, at Lake Lanier Islands. I am still trying to track down the date/year of this show but what I would really love is to stumble upon a bootleg of it.

That reminds me:

A video of Roy Orbison and The Voice of the Beehive on ITV's Night Network late-night show, reviewing the week's new videos on a, including I Started Something I Couldn't Finish by the Smiths.

I remember Roy Orbison expressing empathy at Morrissey's sadness.

Internet tells me it was 15 Nov 1987.

Lately I've been thinking about a pair of online diaries that I remember reading around 1999-2001, some time in that range. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact names of the diaries or who wrote them, so Google proves pretty unhelpful, as you can see below. Anybody remember either of these?

1. Diary of High School Nerd - pretty sure this was pretty close to the right name, but now all I can see to find are links to High School Musical fanfic. This was a kid who self-described as a comedy nerd, over the course of it I believe he either transferred from a religious school to a public one or vice versa. I think the guy who wrote it went on to do some comedy writing on the web at one point.

2. Diary of a 40 Year Old Virgin - not sure on the exact title, but it was close to this. It way predated the Steve Carrell movie, which has since made it really hard to search for. The guy was in his 40s and a huge gym rat, but he mostly wrote about his struggles dating and meeting women.

Lanier Land Music Park, Cummings, GA June 11, 1983

The Life and Times of a 41-Year-Old Virgin

"As for a loser like me, well, all I get is grief. I was at the store getting some Bush's baked beans, and as I was walking down the main aisle, some woman flew out from a side aisle and barely missed me with her shopping cart. I opened up Lou's School of Etiquette immediately. I said, "Excuse me, stupid!" real loud. She kept going and muttered that I must hate myself. I told her, "Awww, shaddup you ol' krunk!" She came back and said, "Excuse me, do you want me to call the police?" I said, "Go ahead, make my day!" She didn't have a clue about how stupid she was. But, she sure knew that I was wrong. She needs to go home and simmer her head in some chicken broth. It is a good thing that I am a benevolent monk."

wtf

That's it! Thanks.

Haha, yeah, it's... uh.. something.

lol

I remember reading his Loser Living Upstairs diary about 5 years ago and being a little creeped out by the obsessiveness of it all. but this is obviously creative/comedy writing, right?

Loser was up and around again at 12:29 in full pacing glory. If I had to guess, I'd say the blinds are shut and the shades are pulled down. Loser has his own secret, dark little empire, but we know he's pulling the bishop! He sat his ass down again, but now the K-Mart is turned up even more. At 12:37, Loser drained the lizard. At 1:03, Loser was on the phone for five seconds, or else you know what he was doing. At 1:08, Loser is allegedly on the phone for twenty seconds. Then, he turns the K-Mart down. At 1:09, Loser was in the can. Nine minutes later, one flush. A second flush. A third flush. Loser had a THREE-FLUSHER! At 2:02, Loser sprung back to life and broke into a feverish pace. He began pacing in a circular fashion at 2:05. He made three loops, then left at 2:10. He returned five minutes later and then left again immediately. Loser is a man on the move!

He mentions Hearts of Space. Is that the legendary new age radio show?

Frustratingly any link to a sale on an Acid Jazz box set that was on my facebook feed this morning. Supposed to be through Harmless records but I can't see the box listed on their homepage, even for full price.

I can't find the thing that was on my feed earlier either. Assume that any time i go into facebook from another source i'm not going to find exactly the same feed as I had earlier anyway. Plus I don't think I was intentionally linked or subscribed to anything to do with harmless records. Did wonder why it was on my feed but it did look tempting.
I just was on my phone when i first saw it and have far less access or display on that than on my computer. Now can't find it again. Looked on their Facebook page and it seems to be weeks behind the current date and no sign of the offer which I think was newer.

an etext (in English) of Jean Ray's novel Malpertuis

one Christmas -- I wanna say around 1991 -- A Current Affair did a Christmas song; some singers came on with I think just a simple mall-piano accompaniment, these were piano-lounge types. It was clearly just a lark somebody ran with, the credits ran over it while the singers mugged: "A Current Affair! Satanic killings! A Current Affair!" etc.

tune's been stuck in my head ever since but the internet does not seem to remember it.

there are a few skits from the tracey ullman show that i remember fondly and precisely that simply do not exist on the internet, all these many years later. no scripts, no videos.

there was also a list put together by some british music magazine -- a list of great heartbreak songs, called "heartbreakers." it was a pretty interesting mix of the well-known and the obscure, ranging across genres (rock, soul, country, pop, etc.) and decades (from the 1940s to the early 2000s IIRC). i learned about a lot of great music from this list, which /was/ on the internet once upon a time. but in the past decade it seems to have entirely disappeared.

it had songs by lewis taylor, slapp happy, don covay, scott walker, etc. etc.

I thought I posted this already, but apparently not. In 1989, a guy in my fifth grade class wore a novelty t shirt to school that used the word frog in the place of the word "fuck". It had dozens of variations, which I can't actually remember but may have included things like motherfrogger, frog you, that's frogged up, etc. About halfway through the morning, he got sent to the principal's office and his mother had to being him a replacement shirt. I'd love to find an image of this shirt.

Name of a toy that I had in the 80s. About 6" plastic stick with a bouncy ball attached at each end.

Like a baton?

Yeah, to an extent. It was designed for the express purpose of bouncing it high as fuck into the air. I actually tried various searches on bouncy baton and the like and didn't find anything like it though. Like, there are some "bouncy batons" but they only have the ball on one end and they look pretty flimsy. This was made with heavy duty plastic. It was cool as hell.

Lol

The original (non-album) version of Chromeo's "You're so Gangsta". It's gotta be around somewhere, but I'm kind of surprised at how hard it is to find! I still have an mp3 from 2003 or whatever

V/Vm's 'Pancake Day (toss them)' from this

I might have it on a hd at home, will look

a video clip that went viral circa '02-'03 that was a digitized rip of an instructional VHS tape from the late 80's or early 90's that presumably came packaged with a penis pump.

the video featured a late 80's/early 90's pornstar bro sitting on a wood crate in the middle of a studio set made to look like the cliche "street" or "alley" scene with brick, chain link fence, oil drums, graffiti, and unnatural pastel lighting.

pornstar bro graphically demonstrated the steps required for proper use of the penis pump while extolling the device's benefits and candidly sharing with the viewers how it made him feel, in a manner that could be described as unexpectedly charming. at one point he discloses that he likes to think about sex with beautiful women while using the device- it's unclear if this is an attempt to forbear any homoerotic tension, the guy just being in his zone, or both. the whole thing was probably less than six minutes and the overall tone was sublime - an instructional video gone beautifully wrong; a high-budget porn film gone terribly right.

pretty sure my first (and likely only) exposure would have been on the makeoutclub main page and/or a thread on their forums. this was pre-youtube era so it was probably in some crude 200px .wma player.

@écorché: I did find 'Pancake Day' in this nice 'n odd mix. It starts around 47m23 in the mp3 here

I think I remember this, wasn't it on Mike Read's Saturday Superstore?

Anyway, one for/from me..

'Overture, Camera, Lights
This it it, we'll hit the heights
No more rehearsing and nursing the part
We know every part by heart
Overture, Camera, Lights
This it it, we'll hit the heights
And oh what heights we'll hit...
On with the show, this it!'

Can't find a clip of the Rosie O'Donnell Show with Emilio Estevez as guest, where Rosie starts talking about how they were both baked on the set of Another Stakeout.

The Sharafnama, a book about the history of the Kurds. (And I mean the book, not a pdf, so technically cheating on this thread, needle in the hay, but I need to try). I so, so want to find a copy of this book. Tried Amazon, Abe, Alibris etc: no dice.

If you know where to find it, or happen to stumble across it, I'll make it worth your while, promised.

No matter how often or fervently I tell myself this was highly, highly improbable, I swear to god I remember watching the Arsenio Hall Show after the L.A. riots, and seeing a bit that featured a newspaper photo of GHW Bush walking around surveying the destruction while wearing a Malcolm X hat. The improbability comes from its not being played as a joke -- though there was certainly laughter at it. I've searched google, youtube, LA/NY Times scan archives... I so want it to be real.

If it wasn't an outright hallucination it'll turn out to be something from an EPMD or 3rd Bass video that I've somehow attached Arsenio Hall to.

A movie from the '90s about a young woman going to NYC, maybe trying to go to Cooper Union, winds up in a shitty apartment with a junkie boyfriend (or an abusive boyfriend), I think does PCP on the beach. I may be combining two movies about similar situations. Or I may have made it all up.

hey LBI, I don't suppose a Turkish edition of that book is much use to you?

oh shit, I think it is two movies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F_teBHE4E8 feels right for the Cooper Union part

so the other one is abusive/junkie boyfriend hitting the protagonist in a stairwell or her crying in a stairwell after? Just remember a very dingy blue light shot in a rundown stairwell

Sorry NV, no it's not. It's meant to be a special gift for someone.

yeah, Turkish versions seem to be the only ones readily available

No big surprise there harhar. Thanks for looking tho.

In the original 2001 broadcast, Agent Deborah Ciccerone was played by actress Fairuza Balk. However, due to scheduling conflicts, she was not able to return for season four. For the repeats and DVD releases, Balk was replaced by Lola Glaudini, who went on to play the role permanently in 2002.

Also this episode is a period piece; when the parents are arguing about sending AJ to military school, one of them (Tony?) says "The US military doesn't even go to war anymore."

One of my "things you can't find on the internet" is any screenshot or clip of Fairuza Balk playing the agent.

I completely blanked on the term for those one-off records where people send in some lyric text and a check to a studio and then some session musicians would make it into a generic country song or whatever.

song-poem anthology?!

YES THANK YOU

god that's been bothering me for like three days

i had the same experience recently and i asked the person who told me about them, ilx user ez snappin, and he reminded me
glad to be of service :)

this is why I can't quit ilx

we got hot dog threads too

An English subtitled version of Remake Remix Rip-Off; director has said it'll never come out on DVD and has encouraged people to pirate it so why is there only a version with German subs?

there is this restaurant called "Chinese Buddha" that is in midtown Atlanta. it was a 24 hour staple of late nights when i lived there 10 years ago (maybe more). back then it was in a different location and sort of connected to an older hotel just off the highway. this place was legendary. they had this huge photo at the entrance of Mick Jagger with the owner. it was easy to notice because he had gone in and put in sticky letters M I C K J A G G E R on the glass. i think the last time i went to the old location the M had fallen off and it just said I C K J A G G E R.

i want to find a photo of that photo. somebody must have taken it. GIS "Chinese Buddha" and "Mick Jagger" is a funny, if pointless search.

years ago i recall my friend telling me about some insane sounding british game show called "THE CRUSHER"... in the opening sequence the host would grab an audience member's glasses off their face and say "WELCOME TO THE CRUSHER!!" as he crushed their glasses in his hands.

not sure if this really exists or if it's a sketch or what

glasses crushing sequence starts around 2:23

AB I found a commenter on canadian yelp who also misses the giant poster of mick jagger and the owner, and a shitload of pictures of the new location, but I've given up. any clue what the old address was?

lol thanks i saw the same commenter! no idea of the old address
