2. Pull the volume on video 1 up to maximum and the volume on video 2 down to about halfway.

3. Wait about one minute, then click play on video 1.

4. About five seconds later, click play on video 2.

5. Put the volume on your computer up high, and if you have a Mac, zoom the screen onto the rain scene, panning to the live scene when you feel like it.

Another installation (for Mac users who are VU fans):

1. Click play on the Sunday Morning screen below.

2. As soon as the video starts, click pause on the YouTube file.

3. If you have an mp3 of the same song, find it in iTunes, select it, then press Apple + R to reveal the file. (If you don't have it, use "Zanzibar" from the Momus album Ocky Milk instead.)

4. Drag the mp3 file to QuickTime player.

5. Forward the YouTube video over 27 seconds of spoken intro and pause it again.

6. In QuickTime player, press Apple + K to bring up the "A/V controls" panel.

7. Drag "playback speed" (bottom right) down to half.

8. Press Apple + L in Quicktime player then press play.

9. Press play on the YouTube file too. It doesn't matter if the file hasn't fully loaded. Adjust the volumes to your taste.

10. Zoom the YouTube window until the video fills the whole screen.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, sometimes I love you so much I can only express it in elongated vowels and multiple explanation marks. And by sometimes, I mean when you give me furtive Cale-Reed glances, Cale playing the piano like a muppet, and Ferry being oh, purring and eloquent all in one go.
If only I didn´t have to go back to academic writing after this.

Can you create and post a remix of that Bryan Ferry song that actually sounds like that?

It's more interesting than anything Bryan Ferry has done for the past ... oh ... 24 years!

I tried out the first installation - I kind of had a little echo which was just beautiful. Thanks for this!

I´d call Eno pretty interesting, myself...

Melodic evolution, old songs in new hands or old hands with new songs. The revolution lives on. Retro, what a wonderful feeling!

Did Bryan Ferry do something to Brian Eno? I missed that.

I´m sorry I failed to entertain you with my badly executed slash jokes :(

Have a macro about how straight and masculine he is instead!

That second one was really neat. This was so much nicer than watching the fireworks, which just ended. Thanks!

Commenting here because it's recent, but

regarding your last bit Anne L., I just bought 'Summerisle' and I'm not surprised it's gorgeous. i gush too much over you and your friends it's probably not healthy for you or me.

Nonetheless, thank you--I can't get that stuff out of my head.

And I finally got my vinyl copy of 'Voyager' in the mail yesterday.

a'a

That was great, and probably the best thing I ever did with youtube.

I wonder, have you heard of Zair (http://janecek.com/zaireeka.html)eeka (http://www.flaminglips.com/content/discography/a/08_main.php)? It's an experimental album by Flaming Lips which consists of 4 CDs that should be played together simultanously. After playing around with your installation, I just listened to it again. I love the idea of actually being your own musician when playing this album, as altering volumes and making a pause here and there on one CD generates a whole new sound.

Anyway, this youtube installation is wonderful, and very mood-setting.

Having neither track in my iTunes library, I heartily recommend Casiotone For The Painfully Alone's cover of 'Graceland' by Paul Simon
