TheHappySpaceman Reviews - A Look Back At Gangnam Style

TheHappySpaceman Reviews - A Look Back at Gangnam Style

This is probably my least favorite review. I don’t really know why I did this in the first place. I guess I was banking on the hope that people would care about Gangnam Style again on its second anniversary, and that I’d get tons of views. But it turns out that the viral hit’s second anniversary came and went and, in fact, nobody cared. Hell, PSY himself even released a second single at this time, with Snoop Dogg of all people, and... I don’t think anyone even remembers it existed. Oh well.

Was It Really That Bad? Hot Space by Queen

This was a new segment in my reviews, “Was It Really That Bad?” I never did wind up making a second installment in this series, which is another thing I will have to add to my to-do list.

TheHappySpaceman Reviews - Year in Review: 2014

I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand, I felt that I needed to vent about that year, for all the crap I had been through during it, and for that this video was necessary. On the other hand, I think that attempting to tackle everything that had happened in movies and music of 2014 was biting off more than I could chew. Either way, I don’t think I’ll be making another video like this for 2015, LOL.

While the video is still public on YouTube, it has apparently been blocked in some countries, so I’m using the Vimeo link below.

Dark Matter - The Narcissist

This is still to this day one of my favorite songs to play. I usually use it to end my shows. This was also my first music video to feature an actual band with me.

TheHappySpaceman Reviews - Daft Punk’s Interstella 5555

Remember how I said that my look back at the Top 10 Surprising One-Hit Wonders was my second review to be taken down from YouTube? This video was my first one to be removed. It was weird, this video where I shower Interstella 5555 with praised was removed, but QualityControlYT’s “review” where he bashed this movie and insulted its fans was allowed to stay up. I blame YouTube’s faulty copyright system, where literally anybody can file a report and they will take it down without question. This has happened to some of my own music videos, too, where YouTube will de-monetize them because they have no proof that I wrote my original songs.

But anyway, this video was the reason I got a Vimeo account. Oddly enough, after I had already begun uploading my backlog to Vimeo, this video was reposted on YouTube. Don’t ask me, I still don’t get it.

And yes, for those wondering, I am aware of Daft Punk’s second movie Electroma and will get to that soon.

Year in Review: 2014 Deleted Scenes

I’ve been intending to post this video for a while, but never got the time. There were a lot more scenes from this review that were cut than these two, but I didn’t edit them, so there was no point in editing them for this.

Anyway, enjoy the lost scenes of my Year in Review for the worst year of my life! This includes the cut scenes where I talk about “All About That Bass” and Pink Floyd’s album The Endless River. The first of these scenes was cut because I was afraid people would get offended about my dislike of that song, thinking I was fat-shaming or whatever. The other was cut because of copyright reasons. In hindsight, I think I was being too nice in both of these criticisms.
