Summary: What started out as an attempt to learn flight of the bumble bee on the trumpet evolved into a fascination with the green hornet theme song. Although the show featured one of my favorite Martial Artist ..Bruce lee..the main attraction for me was the frentic trumpet solo performed by another hero of mine Mr. Al hirt. This song was also used in the motor cycle scene in kill bill. I was delighted to learn that they were making a movie version in 2011 starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou..Alas there could be only one Bruce lee as well as one Al hirt. However I decided to perform this cover in tribute to Al and Bruce...Enjoy

Reccer's Notes: Two great tastes that taste great together: against a montage of thrilling stunts and snappy dialogue, trumpeter Ricardo Dowridge multiplies himself into an orchestra to celebrate his musical and martial heroes.

Summary: Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" mashed with "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Corpse Bride." All copyrights held by original owners. Happy Halloween.
(HD re-edit from my weareactualsize channel)

Reccer's Notes: Although this repost is dated 27 October 2014, the original on White’s now-defunct previous channel dates from circa 2010. This fusion is a relentless tour-de-force of music synced to visuals synced to lyrics; Danny Elfman’s having scored both movies creates a certain built-in compatibility, and Oingo Boingo’s Halloween anthem makes for an Elfman trifecta.

Author’s Notes:( Continue. )

Reccer's Notes: A rec in celebration of the 4 December 2025 Full Supermoon. Stephin Merritt’s wryly anguished anthem of gay pining gains not only an unironic tenderness but the hope of a happy resolution when juxtaposed with CQL’s literal rabbits (and their pervasive symbolism as tokens, symbols, and allegory of Wangxian’s relationship, as well as allusions to a Rabbit God who’d bless a gay union.)

Nor does soupytwist’s pitch-perfect syncing of visuals to lyrics hurt one bit.

Summary: A stop motion tribute to the Cher hit “Dark Lady” done with vintage Barbie and Cher dolls with other special guests.

Reccer's Notes: The list of Content Notes should suffice to explain why this song was embraced by a particular sort of overwrought 70’s kid (1); Wright reimagines the cartoon music video that aired on The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.

(1) Me, for example. Disclaimer: the song has become a guilty pleasure in retrospect not because of its melodramatic nature, but because of the realization that Romani probably caught a lot of grief over it.)

Summary: What do I do with this?

Reccer's Notes: This vid does such a great job showcasing the chemistry between all of these characters, and is in a way a sort of fan trailer for the film. The choice of clips is great, and the music starts slow but builds in such a subtle way. It puts a smile on my face.

Summary: But, ah, I wouldn't let this get to you. Something good might come from it.
It did for me.

Reccer's Notes: I am forever in awe of vidders - I have no idea how they do their magic. Amazingly, this is LarixLaricina's first vid, and it's a doozy - weaving together the modern, crisp, hi-def videos of the show with excellent editing and a great song, showing first Fraser going through various vicissitudes, often alone, then Ray K arriving and the two of them falling into partnership. The vid's ending is spectacular, absolutely a happy ending, as it was in the show.

Theme: Trauma & Recovery, Fanvids, Characters of Color

Summary: "What if I'm not ready for all that I've been waiting for?" - an Eddie focused fanvid

Reccer's Notes: I started watching 9-1-1 a few weeks after this fanvid dropped and I just keep coming back to it. It's an emotional gut punch of a vid that perfectly captures all the ups and downs of Eddie Diaz's journey through trauma after trauma (war, loss, near death experiences) and the ways he keeps fighting for recovery. The lyrical matches are incredible (love the refrain of "My pride / Is my problem / I know that's right / But that don't solve it") and the vidder finds really emotionally resonant visual parallels between different scenes and seasons.

Content Notes: Gun violence, blood, PTSD & anxiety, some visual triggers (quick cuts)

Summary: [No, you're not crying a river,

Reccer's Notes: Great vid that really explores the trauma Edwin and Charles have experienced. A thoughtful choice of clips that are really well blended together. The song really fits the intensity of emotion displayed. The vid includes clips from the entirety of season 1 of Dead Boy Detectives and few from The Sandman series.
