As time has passed, mid-’90s Toy Machinist Satva Leung has found, as you already knew, a few different outlets for his creativity than just nollie backslide flipping through grannies’ ankles at Union Square. He is/was a DJ, the mastermind of the Streets videos series and has been doing a million other things since, thank you very much.
First and foremost, he’s now the senior video producer at MediaMobz. Also, he just produced, shot, and edited the Students Saving The Ocean documentary film, produces video content on DJS, events, and some skate stuff for Vimby -type his name in the search engine and it shall be revealed. Amongst all this, he still lives life with his wife Karine and tears Golden Gate Park apart on the weekends on his skateboard.
So how did such a busy dude find time to put together the list of his five tunes in a skateboard video for A Visual Sound? No idea. But hey, I’m not complaining.
*****
Sir Lady Java: My Mom Said
As used on Ron Allen’s part in A Soldier’s Story (Life, 1990) “The Life video, a timeless classic. I really liked the way this song came on in the video, it is kinda of a slow song but it was real powerful and surreal song. Props to Ron Allen!”
Broun Fellinis (**)
as used in Ride On (Real, 1995) “I had just moved to SF about a year before this video came out and it was all about slashing up the avenues as we lived in the Sunset. The way the video starts with the Huf blazing down the avenues with the Brown Fellinis horn solos matching every ollie, it definitely captured the SF just roll out your door and hit the avenues.” See it here
Casual : Lose in the End As used on Mike Carroll’s part in Virtual Reality (Plan B, 1993)
“I used skate while listening to this song in my walkman all the time at EMB in hopes of some day being able to be as good as MC. Great song though and I still play this song when I DJ out at spots if there are some backpackers in the crowd.” See it here
Michael Jackson : I Want You Back
As used on Guy mariano’s part in Video Days (Blind, 1991) “I am sure there are tons of skaters that have picked this song but it is the truth, it was one of the most influential parts of all time and the song fit the part perfectly.” See it here (*)
De La Soul : Eye Know
As used on Daewon Song’s part in New World Order (World Industries, 1993) “Daewon Song part was amazing in this video and usually is in all his video parts. The way it starts out with him killing Burl Banks and how the song starts, magical. I remember watching this video and we thought it was sped up as Daewon skates so fast.” See it here (*)
(*) : … And I mean just “see” . No more soundtrack. Thanks WMG ! Really making the world a more musical place.
(**) Game show alert ! Whoever guesses first the title of the Broun Fellini song wins a Ron Allen CD -the one that features the Sir Lady Java tune right above ! How convenient. Now to the “Comments” section…
An elaborate 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson has been planned for the 52nd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Jan. 31 on CBS, as the show honors the King of Pop with a Lifetime Achievement Award. The tribute will feature past Grammy winners Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Carrie Underwood, and Usher singing along with the voice of Michael Jackson.
The Grammy Web site report that the tribute is going to also feature a never-before-seen 3-D mini movie for “Earth Song” that Jackson himself created as the centerpiece for his This Is It tour, and has never been seen by the public. “Earth Song” was an original composition and a No. 1 hit for Jackson, with a theme about the future of the planet, which Jackson saw as a unique opportunity to deliver a message to the millions who would have seen him on tour.
CBS has partnered with Target to provide millions of free 3-D Grammy glasses so that viewers can get the full 3-D experience at home, while Grammy attendees at the Staples Center in L.A. will also receive a pair of 3-D glasses to experience the 3-D event live. The special Jackson tribute will mark the first time a sequence is broadcast three-dimensionally during an awards show.
Are you excited to see the tribute in 3-D? Will you be heading to Target for a free pair of glasses?

This year has been the biggest yet for online video, and for the first time we’re sharing our official Most Watched lists and some of the fastest-rising search terms on YouTube. Some moments were big (President Obama’s inauguration), some small (a Minnesota wedding party erupts into dance), some expected (“New Moon”), some surprising (Susan Boyle) — but all of them inspired, entertained and connected millions of people around the world via YouTube.
For these lists, we looked at view counts of YouTube’s most popular videos (in some instances we aggregated views across multiple versions of the same video):
Most Watched YouTube videos (Global):
1. Susan Boyle – Britain’s Got Talent (120+ million views)
2. David After Dentist (37+ million views)
3. JK Wedding Entrance Dance (33+ million views)
4. New Moon Movie Trailer (31+ million views)
5. Evian Roller Babies (27+ million views)

4. The Lonely Island – I’m On A Boat (48+ million views)
5. Keri Hilson – Knock You Down (35+ million views)
Then, to determine the fastest rising search terms for each month, we examined the billions of queries that people searched for on YouTube (through December 15):
Fastest Rising YouTube search terms by month (Global):

March: the climb
April: susan boyle
May: pacquiao vs hatton

There are a lot of interesting nuggets in here. The fastest rising U.S. search term in July was [wedding], clearly related to JK Wedding Entrance Dance, the third Most Watched YouTube video of the year. And while [michael jackson] was Google’s fastest rising search term in 2009, [michael jackson thriller] was the faster rising search on YouTube. Movie trailers (“New Moon,” “Watchmen,” “Paranormal Activity”) and inspirational moments (Susan Boyle, Usain Bolt) were popular, as were sensational celebrity scandals (Christian Bale, Kanye West, and most recently, Tiger Woods).
