      <content:encoded><![CDATA[There&#039;s probably a few of you that at some point went to go watch a video Mike uploaded, only to find it&#039;s no longer there. <br />
<br />
A few months ago, it occured to me that I could find some of the unlisted videos by looking through my watch history, which led me to creating this playlist.<br />
<br />
Here, you will find almost every single video I&#039;ve found (including some of the public videos just in case they get unlisted later) for your enjoyment (hope you don&#039;t mind Mike.)<br />
<br />
If there are any other videos...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Every time I hear the first 20 seconds of this masterpiece of John Williams I suffer a bout of cognitive dissonance on how such a beautiful piece of music could be used for evil.    It&#039;s morphed into the Star Wars Imperial March for me.<br />

If you listen through the full clip, you will find the neat bumpers as well as themes for other shows.<br />

<div data-s9e-mediaembed="youtube" style="display:inline-block;width:100%;max-width:640px"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%"><iframe allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" style="background:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0cB5ewhjf1E/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% / cover;border:0;height:100%;left:0;position:absolute;width:100%" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0cB5ewhjf1E"></iframe></div></div><br />
<br />
I remember <a href="https://www.redbanned.com/members/105/" class="username" data-user="105, @Doug Gibson">@Doug Gibson</a> posting a video about Gould talking about Stravinsky&#039;s &quot;bad voice leading&quot; and how his music &quot;drives him literally up the wall&quot;. He also had an essay on why he thought Mozart was a &quot;bad composer&quot; later on in his life. I personally side far more with Bernstein on this topic -- even before I was accustomed to many of Bach&#039;s pieces, I never enjoyed...<br />

Such a shame that the end result is just a room to play pool in.  <br />
<br />
One day I dream of hiring you to design a sex room for me to bang chicks in 24/7 <br />
No pool tables, but water beds are allowed, as are hot tubs.  That would be so cool.  <br />

However this is nice too.]]></content:encoded>

Probably the best info on the creative process I&#039;ve ever encountered. He nails down what so many of us have likely experienced, and practically prescribes different strategies to avoid roadblocks and facilitate utilizing moments of inspiration as fully as possible to be realized with craft and work. Highly recommended.]]></content:encoded>

Whilst I wasn&#039;t put off by the music for most of the film, one scene jumped out at me in a pretty big way.<br />

So, without spoiling the story, in this scene the protagonist is escaping from his room in a secured government facility. In typical 80s fashion the plot centers around a spaceship captured by the government and the kid has something to do with it. At this point in the...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[It&#039;s that goddamn sluts lobby at it again; damn their political power and endless protest rallies.  However, &quot;Gearspace&quot; isn&#039;t generic and corporate enough. It&#039;s also confusing and misleading as the term &quot;gear&quot; has multiple meanings. Until the site is compassionately renamed something more appropriate like &quot;Musical Equipment Classifieds&quot; I cannot support it.<br />

Good time to reinvigorate the classifieds section, perhaps with a better name.  First thoughts:<br />
