"And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. -Genesis 4:17
"And Dag favoured Enoch for his efforts and gave unto him a golden star." -Gospel of Siftboticus 13:37
That's right, people, enoch has gotten his gold star. This rebel minister and former strip club DJ has sifted a lot of great obscure vids and has been a really nice guy to have around the sift. What does a rebel minister look like anyway? Something like this perhaps? Stephen used to teach comparative religion and cultural religious history, so I guess he must know. Maybe the answer can be found here.

What can you say about someone who calls herself inflatablevagina? Well, judging by her sifts and having talked to her a few times you can be sure she's awesome, feisty and has great taste in music! Every vagina may be inflatable, but Cari is quite unique. And Cari has gotten herself a gold star! And even though her no-nonsense feminism probably tells her otherwise, I'm sure she enjoys getting some shiny jewelry
Ivy is another example of the GREAT female presence on the sift and being a big fan of rock & roll, she has been supplying us with lots of quality music and even a highly successful self-link. That's the first (and hopefully, last) time I've seen a 15-foot inflatable sexual organ.
So put down your bongs and give Ivy her much deserved praise! And if anyone craves more of her great rock vids, have a look here. Congrats!
Go to the above URL, read the blurb, click the link. Note that the first part is not available, but parts 2-9 are there. I'm a little concerned dl'ing this and YouTubing (and subsequently sifting) it because the Stones have apparently sued to keep this doc unreleased since it was made it '72. Anyway, it's grainy and the audio isn't very good, but you can get a feel for the utter hedonistic bubble they lived in at the time. Parts of it are very NSFW (drugs, sex).

Rasch187 - that guy from the capital of Sweden - just got his 1000th star, my friends, so you know what that means: He's a minor globular cluster now. That is all.
Oh yeah, he also gets a crown. Yes sir, he's the Sift's tenth royal member. And he's very deserving of it too. He's brought so many great videos here, and I've really enjoyed a buttload of his musical selections. He keeps this place in working order with his countless dead video fixes. (Don't let that number in his profile fool you; he's fixed at least a thousand more than what it says.) And he goes all out to make people feel special by doing so many congratulatory posts. So to say the least, he is a well-rounded member. And he hates Family Guy, which makes him aces in my book.
So please give the king of rock his dues. He's earned it.

That's right, ladies and gents, demon_ix has gained the gold! The man tried to demote him to silver, but after only a few days he rose above it. Getting to 100 star points in just over 4 months is pretty damned impressive!
Amitai is also proof of the sifts global following, being from Israel. Having gained this milestone he's one of the chosen people of the Sift as well. 2 for 2 . He's been supplying us with a varied selection of high quality videos. Like this one. It shouldn't surprise anyone that he's a big fan of Pink Floyd and what more do you need to know? He's a great guy. full.stop.
Ever since I posted Nazarath's "Hair Of The Dog" in this comment I've had cowbell on the brain. Misery loves company, so let my affliction be your affliction. Here are a few cowbell videos. Share your own if you want, or link to them if you want to post one or more. I'm not guaranteeing I'm going to vote for them just because they have cowbell, mind you. This one starts off with cowbell, but I ain't having none of dat, yo.
Nazareth - "Hair Of The Dog":

Mountain - "Mississippi Queen":

Queens Of The Stone Age - "Little Sister" (with plastic cowbell - very modern):
I'm kind of curious as to what it was that got Sifters into rock music (for those who are interested), so post away on your stories of what made you wanna rock.
For me, I got into rock via Rush, specifically through the song "Red Barchetta" from Moving Pictures. My stepdad back in about fifth grade had a bunch of their CDs, and he let me borrow them to check them out. He was kind of a dick, but I do owe him for being the first person to really introduce and convert me to rock'n'roll.
I found a suitable replacement (http://fr.truveo.com/The-MonkeesIm-Not-Your-Stepping-Stone/id/2843202715) but I can't seem to pull the embed, because unfortunately I don't speak the language the page is in. (German?)When I tried using recognizable symbols, it doesn't seem to embed correctly. Can any body help me?
Clear the tears right from your eyes Rock & Roll is a thing that needs to die Practice room LA, here in Manchester USA
I hope you see right through my thin disguise Give 'em cigarettes, blindfold their eyes For those about to suck the shit-stained lies
Fire...
Honesty doesn't fly the kite anymore Emptiness doesn't float the boat anymore Nihilism is fake, so the cutie-pie cuts the cake Punk rock is the easiest place to hide
Acting stoned don't make you immune anymore Or acting smart, talking shit after fucking whores Rock & roll is a thing that needs to die
I hope you can see right through my thin disguise Rock & roll is a thing that needs to...
Sure, 10 star points isn't much (kronosposeidon gets more in an hour, which he then sells on the black market for money to buy drugs), but mr. edeot has raised more of a ruckus in 6 days than Angelina Jolie has raised kids. (That's a lot of ruckus)
Congratulations.
Please no games, jokes or horseplay in the comments. This ℜ serious thread.
EDD is a cool guy who likes rock&roll and more specificly, Craig Ferguson. There can never be enough of this bloated scotsman for him. Craig does come second to EDD though, as he is a happily married boy man.
He lives in Latvia, which I know very little about. EDD did inform me of an upcoming revolution though, let's hope that turns out well. Before our dear EDD is sent to the guillotine, be sure to pay his queue and PQ a visit.

Oi! It's nearly the end of the year and in forums everywhere the discussion is about the music, movies and art that moved the earth in the last twelve months.
I won't deign to discuss film because it looks like another barren year (well certainly in Hollywood) but it's music that gets me going.
I haven't kept up with all that's been happening but some old favourites of mine, My Morning Jacket, released the excellent Evil Urges. Several months after the release of the sublime Stainless Style I am still amazed at Neon Neon.
Rilo Kiley and Mgmt crossed my radar but I'm yet to lock on properly. Also impressed by Kings of Leon who showed that they are a band that are in the biz for the long run.
There also seem to have been an avalanche of solo acts that collectively seem to blot each other out in the mother of all venn diagrams. Somewhere in there I thought Katy Perry's Hot N Cold was a really great pop single.
So what do you guys think? Music is the most popular channel on Videosift by far and we must have some measure of the zeitgeist...
Just a quick note to welcome requests for invitation to my Grateful Dead playlist. I've already invited a few users I know are fans. If you'd like to join us in musical bliss, just drop me note on my profile.
MTV just put up thousands of embeddable song videos for your perusal. A bit late to the party, but they probably have a better chance at permanence than many of the YouTube ones.

K0MMIE's comment was so long the sidebar was extended... I mean, really extended. I'd recommend a character count cutoff on spotlighted comments, but it wouldn't do any good to suggest that because that won't happen anytime soon with lazy ass Lucky in Vancouver slacking off and rubbing his lucky charms all over the Canucks up there. And you can interpret that anyway you like. Balls. Canadians.
I have the pleasure to announce that the Rock&Roll channel, greatest of all channels, is under my management from this day on. Thanks to MLX for giving me the reins.
There will be some minor changes, as I will make damn sure not to allow vids like this in the channel, DFT! The definition of what rock&roll is can be somewhat grey, but if you are in doubt, feel free to send me a message.
