SMOKIN!

 

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

Here's Fats Waller's classic Your feet's too big. The quality suggests reducing the size a bit by clicking the button next to "size".

 

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

And the Reg Kehoe and His Marimba Queens clip posted above is undescribable. I know, as a man of impeccable taste, I'm supposed to find it ridiculous and kitschy, but I find it funny and the rondo tune full of rhythm

 

[Quigley Brown]

I know a lot of you don't appreciate the music of Kraftwerk, but you can at least watch this video for its film noir value....

I have only just discovered youtube and discovered some gems.

Ive just typed 1930's, 1940's, ww2, etc into youtube and found lots.
Too much to look at all.

I guess YouTube just added Windows 39 compatibility...

Some of my faves:

The Rainbow Dance, 1936
Mesmerizing mix of traditional, drawn-on-film and rotoscope animation by pioneer Len Lye.

Scherzo: Verwitterte Melodie, 1942
Incredibly intricate cartoon with a fun premise (animals find an old wind-up phonograph). By the Fischerkoesen studio, Berlin.

Da Da, 1936
Early abstract animation in Moderne style by the forgotten Mary Ellen Bute.

Hot Dog: An All Barkie, 1929
Excerpt from one of the creepily ingenious Dogville comedies. Yes, with real dogs!

 

[Salv]

Just reviving this thread to share this delightful little tune from late last year:
Koop - Come To Me

The song is absolutely charming but the video is a little chronologically confused - flappers swing dancing?

 

[lindylady]

YouTube is very entertaining and addictive. I was up to 3 AM this morning looking at clips from Golden Era films and then some.

 

[Salv]

This one is long - 26 minutes - but well worth watchng. It's a 1970's documentary about the Wigan Casino Northern Soul all-nighters, but it goes beyond just filming a bunch of kids dancing. There are some excellent interviews - although the accents may be a little challenging for non-Brits...

Stompin Tom Connors was voted the all time greatest singer in Canada ahead of Neil Young, Burton Cummings, Celine Dion, Ian & Sylvia and Brian Adams!

I watched the first part of this near a dozen times in a row, after the first viewing. Can you honestly blame me though? The footwork is STUNNING!!

I think one of the best kinds of addictions is a Clapton addiction..

 

[BeBopBaby]

If I could pick one thing to watch, it would be Jammin the Blues, a famous jazz short w/Lester Young....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=1_hNtvghs2k

I just love the look and feel of this short, I wish I could 1/10th as cool as these cats.
