Those copyright cops at YouTube deleted the account of Trunks6, a genius at combining peculiar pop songs with clips from Disney films, late last year. (They must hate love.) But the man is back—and he's brought back his greatest hits for us to enjoy again. If you love romance and the somewhat icky feelings that watching animated dogs and cats frolicking to a particularly erotic Marvin Gaye song arouse in your soul, you're in for a treat today. Steven, the man behind the TrunksXV username, enjoys Metal Gear Solid [...]

Following up on their tribute to Donnie Darko late last year, awkwardly punctuated Idolator faves The Academy Is... continue their "sync up our emo-ish songs to footage from emo-ish movies" trend with a tribute video honoring Cameron Crowe's love song to Led Zeppelin, Almost Famous . Some 17-year-old is going to probably going to post a similar, yet not-as-well-edited, clip to a video site eventually, so why not beat them to the punch?

The Academy Is... irritate me to no end when I'm forced to add the ellipsis to their name for accuracy, but I'm willing to let it go considering how much I've enjoyed their album Fast Times at Barrington High this year.

YouTube, you always come through. [...]

Slippin'. With everything else going on today, I almost forgot that, in a circular way, I wanted to post this video. I mean, I didn't know it when I woke up.

It played it's place on the background. What it did do was remind me of this video...but I couldn't find a reason [...]

A year back, late at night and stoned out of my wits, I came upon a MySpace page in homage to the great Afropop guitar wizard and bandleader Franco and his band TP OK Jazz . I immediately made Franco my new friend. That, I kind of figured, might be the last of it, but over the weekend the MySpace personages behind it threw out a bulletin, and I'd like to share it with you. What's probably most remarkable about this clip is that you don't have to [...]
