i dunno how long the site’s been around, but I was just introduced to it last night, so forgive me once again if I’m slightly behind the curve. But for all those of you who like interesting video clips – including an array of rare music videos – check out You Tube. At first glance it just looks like a dumping ground for kids to put up their lame homemade vids, but use the search engine and magic can happen before your eyes. I found a shitload of vintage Captain Beefheart clips, and some killer Frank Zappa vids, including one from the ’80s when he was on “Crossfire” and duked it out with some old do-gooders who would have liked nothing more than to have Prince’s “Darlin’ Nikki” banished forever. I miss Frank. The man wwas always ahead of his time, and that appearance just furthered the notion more. Anyway, You Tube allows users to upload videos as well (making sure to mention that they not upload any “copyrighted material,” but alas this is what the site thrives on. You just have to cover your ass anymore. Another fine way to kill evn more hours online.
