“Shook All Up” by You™ vs. Elvis was one of my favourite entries in the WFMU Sixty Second Song Remix Contest. If you haven’t heard of this before, do check it out.. there are some amazing minute versions of lots of well known tunes and other experiments like Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album squeezed into one minute. The Elvis mix by You™ is a quirky cut-up of his hit “All Shook Up”. So I decided to put video to it as I was using some Elvis moments in another project. I found a few versions online and it was amazing to see the change in the way Elvis sang it over time. Especially in the later Vegas years where he seems to just want to get it over with as quick as he can. Perhaps he should have remixed it! Anyway.. here goes it..

It’s all synced up!

Bliss me blog for I have been lockedinned, it’s been 19 days since my last post!!

Well, it has been a busy couple of weeks so I have a lot to post about here, where I will get into in the next post. The last one was 19 days ago and I haven’t got my Nine Inch Nails cd yet, but not to worry as it is still been by soundtrack for the last few week. Class album, nuff said.. well except that I must make a video for them (along with all the other videos I am making!).

One of my favourite web apps from the last couple of months has been Cool Iris’ “PicLens“. I gave it a mini review in the asides post on the, well, side of this page. Really I should have gave it more of a review as I think it is a fantastic little add-on for Firefox and really puts an new slant on image search. It is so slick and I reckon we will be seeing a lot more webapps in this style over the next few months. I guess they are built in the Adobe Flex environment, but I can’t be sure. Anyway I was showing it off the other day and was thinking “wouldn’t it be really cool if it done video too?”. Well, guess what… it does!! Just as I got online today there was an update for it.. for YouTube videos and it works a charm. You can see it in action in the images above where I did a search for remix (something on my mind a lot this week) and the random video I pulled up is from Matt & Kim… and here it is…
