Majzoobiyat - N.F. vs T.I.S.B.

This week of enrichment brings out a mashup from within me. I'd imagined that The Incredible String Band's Air  was the best that could come. And then came along this North Face movie, Into the Mind, that seemed to go so well with, and even be of the same length as, the track. Both of them, together, give a euphoric 3 minutes.

North Face vs The Incredible String Band [mashup] from uhbiv on Vimeo.

From the stable of 'we never do anything original' comes this unoriginal mashup between North Face and The Incredible String Band. these two go well together. Neither the footage nor the music is mine. Edited a bit to synch with the track.


Youtube has historically sucked for mashup videos. Theirs detects all copyrighted work, and blocks it. I always hope against, in that the next new upload will go undetected... but apparently not.

They should just block the whole thing instead of giving a message of partial access. The only countries without the copyright issue, are those which excludes 99.9 % of YouTube demographics.

Well, Vimeo to the rescue. Almost a scripted routine - get to YouTube, start uploading, remembering Vimeo halfway through, carrying on with YouTube in false hope, having the video upload on YouTube, learning the video got blocked on YouTube, upload to Vimeo as an alternative. No wonder, all my mashup videos live over there.

The Madcap Laughs

What will be if I lose her
What will be if I lose them
What will be if I lose myself
What will be if I lose it - one little bit

What will be if I lose that - that crazy cat


That devolved madcap ...

that sends pigeons into space, 
kills unicorns for the cause of public health, 
traces vague lines in the sand, 
places elephants on the lands of ice, 
brings home tales of great curiosity, 
treats with an empty pocket, 
cheats in a shackled world, 
beats on a forgotten path, 
hears a strange new tune, 
makes queens feel less, 
trails the global average maturity scale, 
forgets to love what he loves, 
and loves to forget what is forbidden...

to him we toast
