Lost in YouTube: An Experiment
Filed Under: Be Shareful
So here’s a weird idea I had last night while surfing YouTube’s high seas. I decided to listen to music by starting on a video of my choice and from then on only selecting subsequent tracks from the previous one’s related videos. I’d pick a song I liked, and failing that, one I found at least reasonably tolerable. The playlist ends when I get bored of putting together all these fucking YouTube embeds.
Pearl Jam - The Fixer
MIA - Paper Planes
The actual video didn’t allow embedding, and this was so pathetic it almost demanded me to share it with you in order to spread my suffering around. Somehow I managed to convince myself that video of even the most painful kind is better than a slideshow of overly compressed photos of MIA from Google Images. I may have been wrong.
Lil Wayne feat. T-Pain - Got Money Live
God… every time I see T-Pain it’s like I’m being disgusted for the very first time.
Lil Wayne - Fireman
This next one’s just to finally get away from Lil Wayne and we haven’t even really considering he’s on the fucking track. Pop music incest.
Wyclef feat. Akon and Lil Wayne - Sweetest Girl
Usher feat. Young Jeezy - I Wanna Make Love In This Club
Alright, this is getting too guilty, even for me. Maybe next time. I will say this though… that slight gasp Usher lets out right at the end of that video reminds me of…
