Download and Compile the Best Music Videos of 2017

Posted | Category: Music.

As we round up our own reflections for the past year, it’s hard to turn a blind eye to the creativity we saw shine through in 2017. While we’ve lost many incredible musicians and artists during the year, the music industry also saw amazing talent and drive spanning genres and countries.

There were hundreds of incredible music videos released last year, but a few really made an impression on us both musically and visually. We’ve rounded up 10 of the best music videos of 2017 available online, so you can make exclusive compilations of the best breakout music of the past year. Remember – you can download from YouTube and create your own playlists of audio or video to enjoy throughout the next year.  

1. Kendrick Lamar – HUMBLE

The top of the drawing board, year in year out, is Kendrick Lamar. Together with his previous filmmaker, Dave Meyers, his “HUMBLE” video made the VMA’s Video of the Year awards. The ideology is based on contradiction, which really shines through.

2. Camila Cabello – Havana ft. Young Thug

Including Spanish subtitles, this is a tale from an unknown location in the heart of America where Camila plays two parts. The barbie-esque dream, and the geek at home.

 

3. Charli XCX – Boys

An pop sensation for anyone who has a few crushes, Charli XCX even co-directed this video all about boys. Including the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Joe Jonas, Mark Ronson and Will.i.am, it will be one remembered as one of the best music videos of 2017.

 

4. The National – Dark Side of the Gym

The famous doo-wop flavor of a music scene, a classic ballad joined by the favored high-school slow dance. Filmed inside a gymnasium, a short snippet of love being created is captured, but ends drastically.

 

5. Migos – T-Shirt

Chance the Rapper himself has said that this song from popular artists Migos deserves awards. Collaborating across the pond with British artist DAPs, the film The Revenant provided the main setting inspiration for the frosty video.

6. Dua Lipa – New Rules

A real companionship for ladies of heartbreak, a real commodity that will live for many years which has brought young girls together in a strength binding video.

7. N.E.R.D & Rihanna – Lemon

The talk of the month of November – N.E.R.D is back and they obviously had to take Rihanna with them. A viral sensation struck dancers from all across the globe as Pharrell Williams invited those who dared give the dance a shot. Try this at home?

8. Kamasi Washington – Truth

This goes way beyond the category of the best music videos of 2017, as Kamasi, along with AJ Rojas reach a short documentary in their 14-minute work of art. Concluding walks of life from young people, family ties, and everyday nature form a cosmic conclusion.

9. Jay-Z – The Story of O.J.

Using music as a powerful weapon against racism, Jay-Z cartoons a symbol of himself mocking the parody of racist characters. An illustration on class and colorism in the process of reclaiming portrays, it’s a monumental video directed by Mark Romanek and JAY-Z himself.

10. Björk – The Gate

Another limit breached as we anticipated, the return of Björk. In this one she makes a mockery of herself, as all boundaries are smashed she releases the leash of psychedelia, the rest is in the video.

Essential YouTube Hacks for Every Video Watcher

Posted | Category: Replay Media Catcher, Stream & Save, YouTube.

youtube to mp3

If you’re anything like us, you can hardly go a day without opening up YouTube to watch a video online. Plus, with the cold winter season settled in and making us want to stay warm and cozy, it’s inevitable that YouTube is in for a boost in viewership. While the popular video streaming site makes it possible to watch videos on any topic, served up by folks from all walks of life, there are still more cool things to be discovered.

Ready for the most entertaining YouTube experience of your life? Check out our top tips, tricks, and hacks to help kick your viewing up a notch.

1. Create an auto-lineup of your favorites

Have a few favorite YouTubers that you binge-watch again and again? You can create a meta playlist that holds ALL of the video uploads from a single uploader (in order of upload date, chronologically). To do this, just add “&list=UL” to any video URL on YouTube.

2. Conquer country-specific videos

Sometimes, YouTube videos can have restrictions based on geographic regions. That’s why you’ll get that “The uploader has not made this video available in your country” pop-up message when you stumble on a cool video from far away. Luckily, this trick lets you watch any video from any country.

Here’s how regular YouTube links appears: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx

Copy the string of characters defined by our “xxxx” example above, and paste it so that the URL is: http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxx

3. Watch in HD mode all the time

High definition is ALWAYS better, but sometimes your Internet connection can get in the way. Unlock HD mode by adding a couple of secret codes to the end of your video URL. Get stereo sound and 480×270 resolution with “&fmt=18”, or “&fmt=22” for 1280×720 resolution.

4. Jump through age restrictions

We’re all for keeping PG-13 videos for more mature eyes only, but sometimes the age restrictions on YouTube videos can be bothersome for legal adults. Instead of signing in or clicking through to verify your age, just add “nsfw.” to the beginning of your entire video’s URL, so that it appears like this: nsfw.youtube.com

5. Hunt for all the hidden Easter eggs

Cleverly hidden in YouTube’s source code are secrets just waiting to be discovered and unlocked. Here are some of our favorites:

  • Search “Beam me up Scotty” and your results will show up like they were transported through space.
  • Repeat any video (forever!) by right-clicking on the video and selecting “Loop.”
  • Like old games? Type the numbers “1980” while your video is playing and the Missile Control game will appear.
  • An homage to the Wadsworth Constant, a meme that stated the first 30% of any video isn’t worth your time, you can enter “&wadsworth=1” at the end of a YouTube video URL and it’ll auto-skip the first 30% for you.

6. Access unique 360-degree videos

YouTube launched their support for 360-degree videos earlier in 2016, letting users have a complete view of key videos and live events. With Chrome installed on your computer, you can rotate around and see every angle just by using your mouse. On mobile through the YouTube app, a simple screen swivel can lead you into new 360-degree journeys.

7. Download videos & turn audio files into MP3s

Take your favorite videos with you, in any file type you need! With Replay Media Catcher, you can download YouTube videos with just one quick drag-and-drop movement and automatically convert YouTube to MP3, WMV, AVI and more popular file formats.

Dr. Wilson’s Possibly humorous Distraction- Vol 7

Posted | Category: Uncategorized.

Dr. Wilson back here.  Well, I wasn’t actually gone.  Deb REALLY wanted to do a post on balloons, so while I was out training, she snuck in that last entry.  “Training?” you ask.  Last Sunday I competed in my second 1/2 Ironman distance triathlon – Steelhead 70.3. Translated, I swam 1.2 miles in Lake Michigan, bicycled 56 miles, and then ran a half marathon (13.1 miles).  If you think that is crazy, Shellie has done a few full Ironman races.  I might be that crazy in 2015.  Between work and family, we manage to squeeze in a lot of miles of training.

This week’s video is a bit of a classic, turning around the patterned: “Sh*t” + athletic activity + “say”.
