One of the many additions to our new aquarium is a blue lobster we’ve named Mr. Schneider. (Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference.) Mr. Schneider is a rather industrious lil’ lobster. He has spent days (literally) creating a home for himself (we don’t actually know his gender) under a large rock. In the video, he is seen moving rocks around to help accommodate his new lair. Watch for cameos by a molly fish (R.I.P.) and a neon tetra.
Music in this video is by AjT.

Yeah, you got it, Tim. Sorry for the “Rock Lobster” earworm by proxy, though. This might help get that outta your head.

Jacob: Right-click the videos in your iTunes and select “Convert selection for iPod/iPhone.” That should fix the problem.
Funny thing is, someone told me just last week that my videos played fine on their iPod. I don’t have an iPod, so I have no way to test these things.

what came to mind first was the Dwayne F. Schneider from One day at a time. I like the B52′s reference though!

The Lobster, Mr. Schneider, was getting the “love shack” ready for the “Deadbeat club” pod-cast to upload to “Channel Z”. You know, it’s a “Cosmic thing”. Hows that, the first original idea I have had all year! Cheers

The lobster is cute. I like how he/she pushed the rock out of his lair. I really like the pretty rocks in the aquarium, too.
Don’t think I’m saying your music selection is bad. However, I always think it’s funny that you go for the rock (?) style and I go for the ethereal (?). I guess that’s the proper genres, lol.

I decided to go for something bluesy for this video as it’s about a blue lobster. I had originally downloaded something from Jonathan Coulton, but thought this song was better.
And in general, I tend to lean more towards guitar-based “rock” music. But that’s just my preference. The song I used for the Jellyfish video, however, is something different from that.

It keeps my ears open to different music. We all like different things. If we didn’t, the world would be bland.
I just noticed your menu bar at the top travels with you as you scroll down. New feature or have I just not noticed it before?

Always been like that. Came with the theme. No idea how it’s actually implemented.
