Lost & Found Video Night Volume 1

Lost and Found Video Night Colume 1 is a brilliant example of a mixtape done well. It combines clips that make you go "uhh, what?" in so many different ways. It features some of my favourite clips of all time, including the Metallica Drummer!
Anything that starts with Metallica Drummer is alright by me. Though, I'm not a fan of Metallica at all, this dude is badass in every sense of the word. You get all these people playing air guitar who think they are being amusing, but very few people who play air drums. This guy takes the air drums to a level that has never been seen before. He has it all set out perfectly. Its like he can see the drum kit in front of him, you need to see this guy actually struggle to reach part of his invisible kit. Amazing stuff.

He's got some mad furniture too.  

If air drums and Crispin Glover singing about clowns isn't you your liking, worry not, This mixtape has a lot more to offer you. Clips from some of the best decades of television as well as some somewhat obscure cinematic masterpieces. But nothing compares to the crazy Steve Vai fan who spends a few minutes queefing, hoping to draw his attention. Somehow, she thought that sending such a video of herself to the man himself would win her the love of one of the greatest guitarists of all time. This video is hard to sit through, and, spoiler alert, we see her more than once throughout the tape. So don't rest too easy once the awkward clip ends.

She's not crazy, honest!

Truth is, there are so many amazing clips in this tape that it is impossible to talk about them all. All of the ones I mentioned so far are at the start of the mixtape, and the clips directly following them are still worth a mention. Whoever put this one together really has a knack for finding the best clips available. A bunch of female wrestlers singing about equality, Mr T talking about being somebody, people with downs syndrome dancingto metal are some of the amazing things you will see which add to this already music filled adventure. Perhaps the people who put this together were more fond of music than anything else? I mean, by 30 minutes, you've seen maybe two or three clips that aren't more focused on the music or a musical artist. To be fair though, pathetic musicians, bad karaoke and terrible songs are pretty much the funniest things you can find.
It simply wouldn't be a mixtape without Japan's contributions to insanity Octopus stealing stuff from a giant... Catfish or something? I don't know. Nor will you. It looks like a kids show but... Are they smoking something? Dunno. Amusing though.

LEG IT!!!

From here, things decsend into utter madness. Clips from... I don't actually know where, but astounding stuff. Almost enough to recruit you into a cult, followed by some disgustingly huge breasts with some Japanese man groping them on a stage (with permission of course). Then Japanese ads for celebrities like KISS and Madonna... It really has everything. Have I even mentioned Bollywood yet? Because it has some brilliant Bollywood clips to, including a favourite film of mine, Don. Its about a mob boss who "dies" but comes back. Its amazing, and actually a very cool story, I'm not sure whether or not there is a Western equivalent, but to be honest, Don is do good there doesn't need to be.

Bollywood is where the REAL films are made

We see a good number of obscure clips in this one, and they really make you wonder "why?" for the entire hour and twenty minutes. Why would someone think of this? Why did that person then decide it was a good idea to turn it into a film? These are questions you wont find answers to here, or in the mixtape. But that should only encourage you to dive deeper into the world of Lost and Found Video Night Volume 1.
A thing I really like about this mixtape is that the clips seem to last awkwardly long when they don't really need to. The clips that will disturb you the most are the ones that drag on as long as they can, making it an incredibly uncomfortable watch for some people. But, again, its not amongst the most insane of the mixtapes. That's not to say it isn't good, it really is incredible. It even has foreign Star Wars (the Star Wars clips are borrowed, which is whats most amusing about it). Also, I may be wrong, but I think I saw a literal bear trying to have sex with a girl as she ran away. So it is a little insane. But everything will be okay, Crispin Glover is going to kick the world back in line!

Master of all martial arts!

This mixtape has a lot to offer on the front of weird clips. And it is probably a good place to head after watching the mixtape I posted last week, the Forbidden Transmission Drinking Game when introducing people to mixtapes. It features at least one clip that was already featured in a mixtape I reviewed, however it is longer here. Wheelchair kung fu fight.
It has some insanity, quite a lot of humour, and is a reasonably high qualuty mixtape. It is up there with the best as far as music clips go, and isn't so porn filled that you would feel awkward putting it on in a crowded room (if you would feel awkward doing that, you need to watch more mixtapes in crowded rooms). We finish off where we begin, with metallica drummer, which is a very nice way to conclude a great mixtape. Anyone not yet fully engulfed in the world of mixtapes will leave this one with a real sense of having learned something, and that something is whether or not they are ready to move onto a more intense challenge.

Absolutely perfect for teenagers, like this guy.

I guess it is time to rate this one. This is probably the easiest part of writing these reviews, so I should probably try to make it more difficult. Any suggestions? Well, for now, let's do this.

Humour
Lost and Found Video Night got some amazing music clips that are truly funny. There are quite a few awkward moments in this one, some are funny awkward, others are just the moments where you should be drunk and having a conversation during in order to let the mixtape move on itself. The funny awkward moments are classics, but the other ones are just sort of... bad. But I guess that is the point. I'll rate it three tubby kids out of five.

Insanity

Somewhere between homosexual doll sex involving a drill and a naked man attached to a cord flying through the air as people laugh at him, this one gets reasonably insane. It would be hard to rate it highly based on some of the other things I've seen, but it still isn't anything to show your emotionally unstable friend. Let's say, three out of five Ottos.

QualityThis one is of a fairly high quality. It's quite clear, but there are a few volume shifts that probably could have been fixed up during the editing phase. These are quite noticable, especially if you are watching in a quiet room at night time. I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of adjusting the volume. Let's give this one a three out of five broken vhs tapes, as at least the footage is of a good quality.

So with that said, there isn't much more I have to add. This is a good mixtape, it can be a lot of fun to show it at a party once all of the lame guests leave. Also, that stoner friend of yours might get a kick out of it at some point. I would totally recommend this one for those two reasons, and if you are looking for something to kill 90 minutes, there are few better ways. Isn't that right, Mr T?

If you not somebody, you somebody's fool.
