Definitive Video Nasties

Last night's antics that took place at Becmead Avenue have now been uploaded onto "The Big Gay House's" very own Youtube channel which contains all of our attempts at trying to hit the punchbag hard enough to knock over a plastic bottle.
There's also a few videos that I'd rather forget of the silly things I got up to after closing time at the Undercroft on Tuesday, before I got in an even worser state at Trinity.

There's also a set of videos I've found from someone called Tubers93 including a series of rants about one of the best television programmes ever, in my opinion of course.

Basically the first part of the rant is about the Vault's treatment of the sponsored episodes of the Chart Show when repeated a couple of years ago, by taking away the Twix sponsors. There would be a viable reason for doing so but I'm guessing that the guy is so wound up about it because the music (if you can call it that) accompanying the logo was so good and this included the stings accompanying the teasers in and out of the ad breaks.

It appears that the 1996-1998 period was the halcyon era for the fella who's uploaded the rants, although he is a few years younger than me. I was about his age when I first discovered the show back in 1989 with the stunning fairground graphics which are acknowledged although I think the word he's looking for when describing the music accompanying the graphics is "stunning".
I also reckon it was an inspired idea to have actual animations denoting climbers, fallers and non-movers for each chart position prior to a video in the chart rundowns.

The second part of the rant is about the recent revival on the satellite channel of the same name and the overdose on R&B which the accompanying video seems to be suggesting.
I wouldn't say the show is overrated as I doubt it gets many viewers anyway but it's certainly nowhere near as exciting as it was when it was on ITV on a Saturday morning.

The third part is probably the funniest where a deeper voice comes in and tries to argue against the points made and proving a few other points as well suggesting if many of us dedicated fans only liked the old episodes because of the graphics.

Of course the graphics were the stand out part of the programme but as mentioned in many of the blog posts I wrote between late 2006 and 2007 they did show some really good bands and performers such as Lisa Stansfield, The Beautiful South, Al Jarreau,
Super Furry Animals, and a very wide range of acts that just wouldn't be acknowleged nowadays.

The video ends with the 1996 "theme tune" to the Chart Show being played backwards and oddly enough it sounds almost exactly the same as when played correctly even with the deep voice bellowing "The Chaart Shoow".

I'm tempted to have a look at Tuber's other rants including High School Musical and Manchester United who are both pretty high on my list of things I despise of.

May I suggest that the next rant is about Celine Dion, or just to please Steven McIntosh; Leona Lewis.
