12th-Nov-2009 07:51 pm - Animation is too slow
I'm planning on making an icon using a screencap, which can be found below the cut. You may notice that the animation is very slow. I use VirtualDub, CamStudio, and ImageReady. It's speed is fine when played in vDub, but when opened in ImageReady it's deathly slow, and I can't seem to understand why.

Any ideas on what I can do so the speed isn't like that? I screencap at 40 frames per second, and the time between each frame in ImageReady is set to 0sec. I've tried many things, and I have a headache from all this D:

Any help is very very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

12th-Nov-2009 03:27 pm - Boosh present Python tribute



Mighty Boosh stars Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt are to host a radio series about Monty Python’s comedy albums.

The pair interviewed Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam for the two-part Radio 2 show Monty Python's Wonderful World Of Sound.

The programme will argue that in an age before video recorders, it was the albums helped make classics of sketches such as Dead Parrot, Nudge Nudge and the Lumberjack Song.

In the interviews, the Python team talk about making the world's first ‘three-sided’ LP; upsetting John Denver; and raising the bar for what comedy albums could achieve.

The first show goes out at 10.30pm on December 8.

Michael Jackson is annoyed he was not buried alongside Marilyn Monroe, according to a medium.

Derek Acorah claims he was contacted by the star during a televised seance and reduced fans to tears with his account of the singer adapting to spiritual life.

Acorah said the singer wished he had been laid to rest by his icon Marilyn Monroe.

He claimed Michael Jackson was speaking through him and said: 'I wished to lie alongside her. I suppose it's of no consequence.'

He then told fans around the table that Jackson felt it was 'paramount' to receive their love.

Later, the medium, who has previously attempted to contact figures such as Guy Fawkes, said Jackson was spending time with his grandparents.

He said: 'I'm only now starting to adjust to my spiritual life'.

One fan on the Sky1 show said: 'I looked into Derek's eyes and it was him.'

A Twitter seance on Hallowe'en also claimed to have contacted Jackson, who died aged 50 in June.

Psychic Jayne Wallace claimed Jackson was singing Heal the World when he was contacted and that he was sorry he had let down fans by not carrying out his This Is It tour.

Pictures of Neverland released shortly after the singer's death were said to feature a ghostly figure which some fans claimed was the star himself.

Jackson had a statue of Monroe, who died in 1962, in his home and was said to have been fascinated by celebrity tragedy.

If Solange Knowles isn't sampling Boards of Canada or getting Jay-Z and Beyoncé into Grizzly Bear, she's jamming out to Dirty Projectors. She's been bumping DP so much, in fact, that she decided to go ahead and cover the Brooklyn band's Bitte Orca standout "Stillness Is the Move", which always sounded like a monster R&B track in disguise anyway.

This cover is rooted in "Bumpy's Lament" by Soul Mann & the Brothers, which was sampled by Dr. Dre on "XXplosive" and Erykah Badu on "Bag Lady".

There's currently no official release planned for the cover-- Solange just really liked the song. Listen and download after the jump:

Listen to the cover at the source because I don't think there's a way to embed it:


LOL well apparently it's been taken down by request of Universal Records, but you can find the song in the comments. I guess this well be an anti-Solange/anti-Dirty Projectors post then

~*SOURCE~**~

Here's the amazing original version:



What do you think of the cover? I like Solange (or at least I like reading her tweets) and I fucking love Dirty Projectors. I saw them on Halloween & now they are pretty much my favorite new band I've listened to this year. Their album 'Bitte Orca' is fantastic.

12th-Nov-2009 05:51 pm - John Mayer TV Concert on Tuesday
Fuse TV is airing John Mayer's Beacon Theatre concert live and in HD this Tuesday night. Starts at 9. I tried to get tix for this but it was wayyyyy too much money, so at least I can watch it on TV. Here's a new interview of him talking about the live concert:

Guests include Johnny Vegas and Allison Moyet. David unveils a new clip from Waters of Mars and talks about "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer." Hilarious episode. I think I definitely prefer David as himself than as The Doctor, if that makes sense.

this picture is totally irrelevant but...c'mon.

THE NEXT Doctor Who special, The Waters of Mars, airs on BBC1 this Sunday as we head towards David Tennant's dramatic regeneration into the 11th Time Lord, Matt Smith.
That will happen in The End of Time, Tennant's final adventure in the role. It's in two parts, the first on December 25, the second on or around New Year's Day.
But Tennant says shooting his final scenes as the Time Lord weren't as emotional as he'd expected.
Due to his various appearances being filmed out of sequence from their TV transmission, Tennant's last day as the Doctor was actually spent on the set of the spin-off series, The Sarah Jane Adventures, which has already been broadcast.
"The last line I said as the Doctor is half-way through an episode and it's: 'You two, with me, spit spot'.
"They were the last words I uttered in the suit, so I guess it was robbed of any epic quality!" says Tennant, laughing.
"That was probably best because it was very emotional saying cheerio and filming the very, very final scene was very sad.
"If the scene had coincided with the actual final day, I'd have been in trouble. I was in a bit of trouble as it was, but I was all right, I kept a mildly stiff upper lip!"
After the last Doctor Who special, Tennant will next be seen making his US TV debut in a new hour-long comedy pilot. The 38-year-old star has been cast as the title character in NBC's Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.
The project centres on a top Chicago lawyer who starts suffering from panic attacks and eventually coaches his clients to represent themselves in court. The comedic drama will be directed by David Semel, who previously helmed the pilots of Heroes and Life.

Tennant's casting bears similarities to the hiring of Hugh Laurie - another established British TV actor with virtually no American TV experience - as the lead on the Fox medical drama House.

Michelle Obama’s vegetable garden is about to become a culinary battlefield.

The Food Network announced Wednesday that an episode of “Iron Chef America” will be taped at the White House featuring Mario Batali, Bobby Flay and Emeril Lagasse. The three chefs, joined by White House chef Cristeta Comerford, will be welcomed by the first lady and allowed to use anything found in the garden to help create their meals.

The competition will then move back to the network’s Kitchen Stadium in New York, where Flay and Comerford will face-off against Batali and Lagasse to produce five dishes showcasing the ingredients.

The judges will include chef Nigella Lawson, Olympic gold medalist Natalie Coughlin, and actress Jane Seymour.

The episode airs Jan. 3, 2010.

When General Hospital announced that James Franco would be joining the soap opera for a lengthy story arc, pop culture pundits couldn’t fathom the movie star’s motivation. Over here at Movieline, though, we sensed the guiding hand of Carter, Franco’s frequent artistic collaborator. The two men have embarked on a wide variety of art projects that play with and deconstruct Franco’s image, including a VMan photo shoot that handed the actor a flamethrower and covered his face in shaving cream, and Erased James Franco, a 63-minute film (playing November 15 at the Castro Theater in San Francisco) that finds Franco idiosyncratically recreating Rock Hudson from Seconds and Julianne Moore from Safe, as well as some of his own lesser roles.

Crazy Lady vs. Chris Brown


As Chris Brown left Footaction last night in Times Square, he caught an earful from “some drunk woman”. Perhaps he should’ve brought her back to the crib. On second thought, maybe not.

Per her official website:

"I understand that my comment about Taylor Swift’s Entertainer of the Year nomination came across as a negative statement. My intent was not to take anything away from her talent and contributions to the country music industry...all of which are truly unprecedented for an artist of ANY age. Taylor is a beautiful, hard working young woman that deserves the success she has had and I support her as an artist and as a woman in the business. "

Btw for those who missed it, this is what Wynonna said:

"You want my honest comment? It’s too much too soon. Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing too soon. My thing is, being a home-school mom, I want kids to earn it, and I think some time … ’cause mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us. Now it’s over coffee breaks, the success, almost. You have to play catch up … It's like the girl who wins an Oscar and she's under 20. What do you do from here?"

This looks like every other romantic comedy ever made, but I'm such a sucker for this type of shit that I'll be there regardless.
We've made some additions and improvements to Notes!

The Notes feature has been added to two action-taking pages:
  • You can now add a Note directly on the Add a friend page - handy if you'd like to mark down where you met them or another name you know them by!
  • On the Ban and unban users page (under Account -> Privacy) you can now add a Note, including to a group of users all banned at the same time (so that next year you won't need to ask yourself "hey, why did I ban these guys?")

Other changes:
  • When you're viewing your existing Notes they're grayed out; click in a field to activate it to change the text (this page can be found from the header by using Profile -> Manage Notes)
  • Changes to editing:
    • When you're going to create a new Note but one already exists, you'll get a warning that you're editing an existing Note
    • You can now delete a note from the "Edit note" pop-up in the hover menu
    • You can now delete notes for multiple selected users on the Manage notes page
    • When you change Notes on "Ban|unban users" page, they can be edited and saved with "Save Changes" button
