More Reg Kehoe please! Soon... I really need a fix. posted by Area Control at 10:10 AM on December 21, 2006
I've never seen Harry the Hipster perform. I don't even know what to think even already. posted by Astro Zombie at 10:10 AM on December 21, 2006
The only thing I don't like about these posts is that I can't watch the videos until I get home tonight. posted by InfidelZombie at 10:13 AM on December 21, 2006
And that Reg Kehoe piece just reminds me further how much the word has gone from cool to suck. I actually used some of those marimba queens in one of my own mash-up videos, just for the added dose of woweeeee. posted by Astro Zombie at 10:16 AM on December 21, 2006

Great post as usual, y2karl. Ignore the idiots. posted by languagehat at 10:45 AM on December 21, 2006
Thanks again my good man. You are the one that I look forward to reading every time you post. The youtube links kind of get redundant I must say, but who else would link to such great stuff? And to all the naysayers, just remember, it's either this or IraqFilter. Be glad it's this. posted by wheelieman at 11:01 AM on December 21, 2006

False dichotomy much? Or is that a threat? posted by splice at 11:02 AM on December 21, 2006

Presumably y2karl.blogspot.com (which would totally go into my RSS feeds the instant I became aware of it) wouldn't require y2karl to pay moneys.
Regardless of whether y2karl's posts are appropriate for Das Blau, I'm glad he makes them. If they go somewhere else, as long as I can read it, I'm happy. posted by sparkletone at 12:24 PM on December 21, 2006
Delightful videos. Marvelous, generous post. I love the Mae West one. wow. Even though she looked so white, I always wondered if she were part black. The person posting the Cliff Edwards one at YouTube misspelled the song (although I rather like the misspelling, lol), it's I Feel Pessimistic, not Pestamistic. Oh wow, so Cliff Edwards' voice was that of Jiminy Cricket? neat.
y2karl is most of the time the Best of the Web. Thanks yet again for great music! posted by dw at 1:01 PM on December 21, 2006
This is interesting, not for the content, but rather to see how far Karl can push moderator patience before they ban him.
Go for it Karl, don't let the man keep you down. Post this stuff every day.
I don't even care if the links work, cause I can find music on my own. posted by thirteen at 1:39 PM on December 21, 2006 [2 favorites]
Meta.
I was fooled! I thought that Y2K had trotted out his bizarre whine about Harrison Bergeron again, and then I'd be even more puzzled than I was the first time I read it. posted by norm at 1:56 PM on December 21, 2006
False dichotomy much?
When did it become fashinable to refute people with (Fallacious reasoning 101 example) much? It's not clever enough to be considered snarky. posted by Burhanistan at 6:56 PM on December 21, 2006
Oh wow, so Cliff Edwards' voice was that of Jiminy Cricket ?
Prior to making this post, I knew that but not much else besides that, other than that he made a career of recording songs like I’m A Bear In A Ladies’ Boudoir before he got picked up by Disney to sing When You Wish Upon A Star.
He had a beautiful voice and an utterly tragic end. I was really saddened to read about it.
I have friends who collect old soundies and such and have seen any number of Cliff Edwards clips at their parties. I hav eliked just about everything I've seen of him.
This post began with me looking up Edwards and then running across those Harry 'The Hipster' Gibson clips. Had there been film for Who Put The Benzedrine In Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine ? or Get Hip To Shirley MacLaine, though, this would have been an all Harry Gibson affair. Cliff Edwards would have been another post. posted by y2karl at 8:00 PM on December 21, 2006
I can't get enough of Henry The Hipster. Solid! Thanks for the links, y2karl. posted by smashingstars at 8:40 PM on December 21, 2006
