TexasRose, turns out they could be loaded. It seems. By someone. Wouldn't know who. And no skippies in the video, for some reason.

Too late Melty - you had already impressed the heck out of me.

But as Hyacinth said, guess I'll just have to watch them again.

And many thanks to whoever...

Perhaps "whoever" has No Thunder No Fire No Rain, and would also like to check out Jaffa's list.?

Well, I'll bet someone would post the other videos if someone knew of a place where she (or he, heh) could get them. Unfortunately, someone is without clue on where to find any of them.

There was one for Runs In The Family - it contains family footage of the brothers as children playing cricket (It's quoted in the Something So Strong book)
Hmm wonder if there were any promo's for
Carve You In Marble (that looks like a Promo video on the cover to moi! - how far had the relationship between artist and label deteriorated at this point? - believe it or not there was a Promo candle for this!)
With You I'm Alive (first single from Les Patterson soundtrack - surely?)
Crescendo (hmm don't know on this Australian release?)
Steel City (that needed some form of Promo! - Mmmmmmmmaybe!)

he ywhat happenned to the video for Big Wave Rider I can't find it?

Confirmation that Carve You In Marble exists!

It's here!

Oh how I love the internet

And this, from the same youtuber, is also well worth watching. Good performance of How'm I Gonna Sleep followed by some fine Tim humour.

Ah, Timmy.....you are always good for a laugh!!

Thanks for the links, AGM! Now I know the origin of the "wild thing in the woolshed" lyric...

Shame no piano intro!

Thanks for those AGM. Hyacinth alerted me to your post yesterday but it takes me a while to get over here right now. What a find!

And finally on Youtube too:
Say It Is So

LOL at the bit at the very end of that.

Thanks for the link, Fandorina

Death Of A Popular Song

Songline

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu1C4NC1GWI

Underwater Mountain was there a couple of days ago but now says it is no longer available

Somebody must of made up that clip for songline.

Only 4 songs I didn't come across today were.

no thunder no fire
home for my heart
parihaka
many's the time

Countdown awards version of Minor Key is fabulous and Winterlight from Park City TV.

No Thunder, No Fire, No Rain

It's there, on YouTube!

OMG! Thanks Fandorina! I'd forgotten about that song somehow. Loves it! You've taken me back a couple of decades...

Thankyou for the Thunder link, been added to my Tim fav's on YT.

I don't know if I'd ever seen No Thunder - it didn't ring any bells. Or I'm getting old and losing my memory.

Many, many thanks for this clip.

Just need the other 3 now, as in Kelly's list above. Parihaka would be an absolute treat.

I'm so very grateful to have been able to see a lot of these old clips, but it does make you realise how special a DVD release of all Tim's clips would be (putting aside licensing, and all that stuff). To have them all in the one place, in good quality, without stopping and starting ( ) would be brilliant.

Actually wondering TR if Tim could do something in the vein of his rarities cd, and look after it through his myspace site. Download a vid and the money goes to him and on to the record company that he was affiliated with at the time.


Wonder if artists do that, people pay for DL to their ipods don't they? Probably all a big headache, but still keeps some dosh rolling in and a happy customer.

What an absolutely brilliant idea.

Its probably only ever going to be has hard as people want to make it, which is true of pretty much everything in life.

I don't know whether they hold off because a certain number would have to be sold to justify a release, and they don't think there'd be enough, but from what I gather the Rarities CD was snapped up at shows pretty quickly.

I wish Peter could somehow do a poll *looks around for Mr Sadly* ( ), to ascertain whether there would be much interest. Mr S probably already has done one actually, just thinking about it (can't be bothered looking!).

Then if Phil and Tim could organise a Split Enz Mental Notes line-up show, they could flog off stuff there too. I think that a special show puts people in the mood to spend money and buy merchandise - or is that just me?

Package the items carefully, like the Rarities CD 1 & 2 ( ), a Tim videos DVD, all in a Mental Notes line-up carry bag, and I bet they'd walk out the door. Maybe a t-shirt too?

... and I've now run out of straws to clutch at in this post.
