YouTubing

Well, we are all probably guilty of our fair share of binges on youtube. Me and my fellow author, who still has yet to write... talk alot and when we get going its usually about finding awesome videos on youtube or wicked items/apartments on craigslist. We find ourselves trying to define who we are through one video, some what of a game, finding our image or beliefs in a simple video on youtube. I generally end up choosing live shows of favorite musicians. Ellen, she picks videos that are completely outrageous, like beyonce live almost poking fun at me because of my seriousness of the game but I know that she wants to be Beyonce but you cant blame her... who wouldnt want to be Beyonce?
I'll post my video of "now" and i say that because i have changed my mind alot and am still finding "my video". Ellen can post hers when ever she wants.

Death From Above 1979, a great canadian band. A classic in my mind, a precursor to this whole dance music popularity, which has almost out done itself with Justice, who in my mind has become a hipster faux pas. Opinion on music is a whole 'nother post. Not only does this video contain great music, and a great band, but great footage of Sebastien Grainger grabbing fans and yanking them around well passionately belting out DFA's romantic vocals. He then steps on the fans, somewhat crowd surfing. All while Jesse Keeler rips dancey hooks on his rickenbacker in the back. Only for Sebastien to end by saying "sorry to all the people I stepped on, I am not in the habit of stepping on people to get to where I want to go." This video is a representation of me and what I like. SO HERE:
