This is a promotional video from 1994 designed to spread the word about this new thing called “The Internet.” It was sent to thousands of people to try to convince them of the power of this new medium. It’s pretty crazy to this this was only 13 years ago.
OK, I originally had a couple more douches I wanted to get to but our old friend Douche #1 is already back (with an even douchier look!) and he somehow managed to bring a new level of douchey-ness to the table.
This guy squeezes more douchery douchebaggery into one single frame of video than anyone I’ve ever seen. You almost don’t even need to see the whole commercial. This one frame should be (more than) enough for anyone. But if you have a douche-wish like me (kind of like a death wish, only with less car chases) it’s the same deal as before:
This is some great advice from Dick Dale, the “King of Surf Guitar,” that I wish we would have taken 7 years ago.
Here is a short video clip of our time at Ardent Studios in Memphis Tenn. It was taken in December of 2000 while we were there recording a demo of our song “Pain.” While the version of “Pain” from this session was never used, we later rerecorded it and put the song on our self-titled album that was released by Roadrunner records in 2002. As you can image there’s lots of downtime in the studio. Hours if not an entire day can be spent setting up all the mics and other various technical things so the band if often left to wonder around and explore the studio. This video clip is a good example this. It shows Tony playing his Nord keyboard (r.i.p) and Jamie playing the studio piano.
If you’re interested in hearing the actual song we recorded during this studio session it can be found in the podcast section of the site.
This is a time-lapse video of someone doing a painting of John Locke (the character from LOST) in Photoshop. It’s always interesting to the process an artist takes to get to the final result.

Jamie’s dad, Rod, leads the way through our crib. We didn’t have enough time to show off our rides, but you get the basic idea. We’ll be doing a more thorough tour when Cribs returns to the garage this spring.
Check out the video for Bitmap, now on SinchTV!
This video was edited in real-time with the Ocular Noise Machine. If you’ve ever seen us live you should recognize this as being similar to how the song is performed live. And if you haven’t seen us live, well, this is what you’re missing.

Phil Collins vs. The Ultimate Warrior
Seriously. I don’t even know what to say about this one.
Take Me Home
In the Air Tonight LIVE
Since this is the best Phil song ever, I figured it deserves another shot.
Genesis - Misunderstanding
This one makes the cut on Phil’s beard alone.
Against All Odds
Not one of my all-time favorite Phil songs, but worth watching just for the singing Tiki mask at the beginning and the guy getting thrown into the drum set as the song kicks in. Not to mention the completely random shot of the football player. Apparently all this footage is from a movie called Against All Odds. I guess maybe the football thing makes sense if you’ve seen the movie.
Don’t Lose My Number
Apparently Phil has a thing for making videos where you can hear some of the sound of the action over the song. Normally I find it annoying (see Easy Lover) but in this case I think it’s OK. The middle section where they talk about the guitar solo over the guitar solo is pretty genius.
Something Happened on the Way to Heaven
I can’t figure out if this is one of the greatest concepts for a video ever… or just stupid. In some retarded way I think it might actually be brilliant… doing an arena rock video from the perspective of a dog running around backstage… I don’t know. I mean how do you even come up with that?
Land of Confusion (Genesis)
Technically this isn’t a Phil Collins song but being one of the best videos ever made, I had to include it. Two words: DC Follies.
