It looks like it's working. Though the framerate leaves much to be desired.

It works on here. But not when I try to put it on my profile page. And yeah, the framerate is screwy, but I was just using a free conversion software to make it GIF. So there ya go.

I don't know if you watched the full video, but the movement is actually jerky on purpose. (To an extent. The conversion process made it a little worse.) They did this to give the video a 1920s (approx) feel, as films back then weren't as smooth as they are now.

No, I didn't watch it; not my thing I'm afraid.

What kind of music do you like?

I should mention of course, that I have no idea what kind of music is coming out of that guy's phonograph.

Understanding the lyrics helps lol. The song is about poor children in Germany. The screen that popped up with a message in German says: "In the year 2009 in Germany, 2.5 million children lived in poverty." I really like that video. It has a really good message.
I forgot to mention on the other reply, that I don't really listen to much American music. There are some American bands that I like, (Korn, Linkin Park, Metallica...) but most of the metal I listen to is in other languages and from other countries. Germany is predominant, but I also listen to Italian, Finnish, Swedish, Japanese, Greek, and I think there are some others. (But you get the idea.) And no, I don't understand half of what they're saying.

Oh! Right, you sent me a video link.
Hm. I like to listen to music where I can understand what they're saying. An exception is one Swedish song about... er, a guy in a chatroom, who thinks the anti-spam bot is a really impressive bot, but one day the 'bot' turns out to actually be a girl... The story in the song ends with something that I've seen translated as, 'To me you'll always be a bot', but the music video ends with the girl going to the guy's nightclub and cruising down the highway with him in a sports car. lol
Ah, right, I remember now... The song is Boten Anna, I think...

I get bored easily. If I understand everything that they're saying, I get bored that much faster. That's how it started anyway. Listening to foreign music means it won't get ruined by the radio. Plus, there are a lot of talented musicians in the world and if you open yourself up to listening to any language, you'll have better luck finding talented people.

I've pretty much mastered English. Time to move on, lol. I've had a college-grade reading level since some time in elementary school. So...yeah. I've gotten bored with English.

Yanni, some classical, a lot of old theme songs; my biggest favorite is the old Star Fox theme song. I like some pop; my favorite pop love song is I Never Knew Love Like This Before, by Stphanie Mills, back from the year 1980. I like a lot of earlier love songs from the 1960s or so; some bubblegum, and (odd, I know) don't mind Elvis at all. Jazz and blues are okay; bluegrass and country has its place. I like Miley Cyrus's music (though not much else that I hear about her these days.)
Even what I don't like, I can mostly tolerate. The exception being the more obnoxious types, such as death metal and screamo, some of the odder, more dissonant alternative types, and things that aren't really music, such as rap, which seems mostly to be bad poetry about crime and drugs set to the rhythm of a bad headache.
Probably the biggest thing that I should say about me and music is that I don't worship it. I'm not addicted to it. Music is like fine wine, and I savor the taste of a beautiful vintage, in moderation. I'm not impressed with people who wallow in it like crackheads, and yes, they do exist. I respect someone more if they're not dependent on it; if they can do without it. Not that I'd necessarily ask them to.
You?

Metal. But NOT SCREAMO. Tanz Metal is what I listen to the most, which is German Dance Metal. Heavy guitar, electronic beats, strong vocalists, etc. I also like Goth Metal, Symphonic Metal, and Folk Metal. (Folk Metal has elements of both Folk and Heavy metal: a bizarrely wonderful combination.)
I don't like country or most pop. And general rock all sounds the same to me. The only rapper I like is Eminem, because he actually has some musical talent, but I don't listen to him very often.
I grew up in a pretty musical household, so I love music to death. Because I'm so familiar with what music should sound like, I have a hard time tolerating music that isn't high quality. And while I'm not addicted to music, I can't imagine my life without it. I just really love music.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can't imagine life without it... Are you sure you're not addicted?
I can imagine my life without it. I've learned that it stabilizes my mood somewhat, so I've listened to more lately, but I've gone entire weeks, maybe even entire months, hearing only snatches of music on other people's machines; never putting on a tune of my own.
So you like many kinds of metal? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's just what I listen to the most lol. When I'm in certain moods, I'll listen to pretty much anything. (Except country. NEVER COUNTRY.) I'm really into Classical Music and Electronica. (Weird combo.
There's actually a lot of variety in sound from one subclass of Metal to the next. You just have to be able to hear it.
I say I'm not addicted because I don't listen to it constantly. But, if someone tried to take it away from me, Tell me that I couldn't listen to it anymore, That I was no longer allowed or able to listen to music, I wouldn't like that person very much. (Though that may be more of a "Nobody bosses me around" kinda thing.)

Oh yeah, I wouldn't like anyone who thought they could take the choice away from me, but it would mostly be the 'you don't run my life' thing. Well, half and half with losing music.
I'd be fine if civilization collapsed and the only music I could hear was what came from my lungs, though.
Ok, I take it back, you do like a good variety. Why don't you like country though? It seems perfectly pretty to me, very upbeat, cheerful... I enjoy a bit of bluegrass here and there; the country version of pop; Taylor Swift, 'Teardrops on My Guitar'...
Yeah, pop is everywhere. But I don't listen to everything constantly, so I haven't really had a chance to get bored with it. Oh, the stuff that's all the same can turn me off sometimes; it takes one of the ones that stands out to get my attention. Such as 'never knew love like this before'; for some reason that really caught me.
Mostly, when I used to have a working radio in my car, I'd just tune it out and drive, if it was playing one I didn't like. Which, truth to tell, was a lot of them.
As for why I don't like most metal... Listening to it is rather like suddenly having a bunch of car horns blasted at me. Except, it doesn't fade as the suddenness wears off. The variety of sounds is completely immaterial; the basic overall sound is so disgustingly unpleasant that I can't stand it. Not *all* metal, you'll note; actually, Metallica is pretty mellow. Some of the lighter stuff is really okay, and I thrilled to Paralyzer when it first came out. It's really only the heavier stuff such as death metal that really produces that car-horn-in-my-ear effect.
As to rap, also highly unpleasant, regardless of the variety it can manifest. It makes me feel like someone is swearing at me with the goal of provoking me into throwing the first punch. Severe emotional dissatisfaction. And, as I mentioned, it has the rhythm of a bad headache. Regardless of content, quality or variety.
I mean, I don't spend hours lovingly listening to the subtleties of every jackhammer that sounds off in my ear either.

I've just never been a fan of twangy guitar and fake southern accents. Beyond that, I don't know why I dislike country so much. I only know that it grates on my nerves to no end. (There are a couple songs that I like. Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue is one.) Music that is pretty only for the sake of pretty isn't really my thing.
I like pop if it isn't the generic pop that all sounds the same. I have nothing against the genre. I just have issues with most everyone that makes music in that genre. Hehe. I actually have a fair amount of Pop on my iPod. Including the Spice Girls. Which I have been listening to a lot lately. Ahh....Childhood memories lol. (I wasn't always a metalhead. 
I don't like Death Metal either. And I only like the lighter stuff that Metallica does. Some of their 80s stuff is pretty obnoxious to me. And as for their 8 minute guitar solos.....don't even get me started lol. The metal I listen to is a lot more musical and creative than death metal. Symphonic Metal actually fuses Classical Music (especially Operas) with Metal.
I don't like Rap. I just like Eminem when I'm in the mood. His rhythms tend to be much less obnoxious and his lyrics actually have a point beyond, "tap that ass, smoke that joint, shoot that cracker."
There are a lot of bands that I have tried to get into, because they're bands that every metalhead is "supposed" to love. But I just...can't. Too much screaming guitar and angry lyrics. Bleh. Give me some real music please. Like Bach.

I'm-a go offline now.
Except in the summer, when it gets too hot to sleep around 10 AM, then I wind up getting waaaaay not enough sleepytime.

I would start with Augen Auf! by Oomph!. Other good songs (and videos) by them are: Labyrinth, Sandmann, Gott ist ein Popstar, The Power of Love, and Supernova. (I could give you links if you want, to save you time on youtube, if you want. A lot of their songs also have English versions, so if you would prefer that, let me know.) I hope that's not too much to start off with. And if you want more, just ask.
My alarm clock hates me. And I loathe it.

Haha ok.
'God is a Popstar'?? haha

Sent you a note. And yeah, Gott ist ein Popstar is poking holes in religion. It caused a pretty big stink when it was released and they still get asked about it in pretty much every interview.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heh... It is kinda disrespectful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Way I interpret the song, it isn't mocking Christianity. I think it's more about hypocrisy in religion. Maybe you'll see it different once you've watched it. But, I think religion sometimes needs to be mocked and ridiculed. Look what Luther did to Catholicism.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, you've got a point there.
In short it'll never be my preferred genre. However, you have opened my mind to it to the extent that was possible.
My internet is being cranky and slow tonight and I'm close to my monthly data limit; I'll watch this one tonight, but the only way I'll watch more before the 24th is if you get me the music sans video. I just have no choice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm...I'm trying to think if there is a legal route for you to hear the songs sans video. Only things I'm coming up with are generally frowned upon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Um, search it in Youtube; there's usually a couple... wait, I can do that myself.

Wouldn't it still use data if it's on youtube?
