Double the flavor and double the fun with YouTube Doubler
Oy... it's like when your turn signal and the turn signal of the car in front of you slowly begin to sync up... have a few shared blinks... and then slowly get out of sync. It's like my version of nails on a chalkboard.
It's supposed to do that (if you're talking about the startrack clip) There is a gimmick on an Aphex Twin (I Think) where they play two copies of that track at very similar speeds. The phase difference is like two minutes or something. I think you're supposed to listen to while you're stoned.
So this is a reference to that, but not done nearly as well.

I think this is fuckin awesome. It reminded me of that Steve Reich song "Come Out." On its own neither that clip nor the Steve Reich song are that interesting, but they both represent new and startling ways of utilizing their respective mediums. If you think of it in terms of what it will lead to I think this site opens up some really cool possibilities for remix/mash-up culture.

FACT: In the future, all cinemas and televisions will have two screens, showing two separate features.
Amazingly, it is actually possible to watch two things at once. Maybe you won't appreciate them fully, but it's a completely engaging experience. It's probably how television first seemed to our ancestors back in, what, the 16th century.

You ever sit on the school bus and watch the two wipers doing this (for whatever reason the wipers were each on their own little drive train on the Bluebirds I grew up riding) and sort of contemplate the threshold between out-of-sync and in-sync? Like, at some point they're in sync, and then at some point soon after that they're not—but it's not a mere moment, a single slice of exact mechanical alignment, but rather a short window of close enough, a few tens or even a couple hundred milliseconds of acceptable delay on either side of the perfect zero line.
That shit hypnotized me.

Hmm... I've just been googling around for an article I read a couple years ago on hypnosis and/or brainwashing via heterodyne (two things going at slightly different frequencies, driving people bonkers), but it seems the article has mysteriously vanished. Oh well.

By the time I got to where Asimo was motioning "You're Welcome" at about the same time Hawking said "Thank you" I think I answered my own question.
