I was listening to some tunes on Last.fm this evening when this peculiar song came on called Gentleman, by Venetian Snares. A little over four minutes later I woke up, and found "Gentleman.m4u" on my desktop, which I duly uploaded to Youtube, to try and shed some light on what happened.

I'm guessing you slowed the music down filmed in realtime, then speeded up the video to match the bpm of the original track? Am i right?
(, Tue 24 Feb 2009, 16:59, Reply)
aye, correctomundo.
I wanted to check out iMovie to see if it's any good, so made this little number. I ended up using Audacity to slow it down, but put the original track back over the top as iMovie made it sounds weird.

I often wonder, for no apparent reason, if, for example, I am officially big or small. in relation to quarks, electrons, galaxies and stars, should something like a human or an elephant be classed as big or small?

The short film (Or long one if you can get the Imax version).
There are something like 40 orders of magnitude difference between the biggest and smallest objects we can detect, we lie at about the 16th order of magnitude, so on average, we are small given that we lie nearer the smaller end of the spectrum than the bigger. However, there are many (many many) more smaller things than us, than bigger things, so in effect we are big.
Orders of magnitude being x 10. So the biggest object (the known universe) is 4 x 1040 bigger than the smallest, known object.
Powers of ten, imax clip
Edit: Balls, still can't edit subject line! Should read Watch Powers of 10

A massive pat on the head to all their fans, as Prodigy and their record label tell us how best to promote their album on youtube. In the same vein and as about as effective as those 'knock-off Nigel" adverts. A la "If you don't have a problem with the legal implication of piracy, then maybe you'll have a bigger problem with your peer group's perception (the man's perception dressed up as society perception) of piracy?"

They are happy for people to post videos of ANY tracks from their old albums AND the two released tracks from the most current.
I think that's pretty flipping decent myself. Considering the number of artists feverishly clawing onto their entire back catalogues and getting bodies like the web sheriff to stamp all over anyone who posts even a snippet of a 10 year old track on you tube...
Meh, I find the whole web sherrif thing annoying as hell but in this case I reckon Joe publics getting a fair break and the band get to protect their most currently made work, so they can make a bit of cash of it (which lets face it is not unreasonable.

But I totally agree with what you said up there.

I still buy CD's and Vinyl for stuff I like though. You can't beat a good physical collection :)

I think the vast majority of people who pirate know that it's 'technically' wrong but choose to overlook it. This gives a great "Meeting in the middle" and I'd be happy to do it for them.
