Frank Chu, the 12 Galaxies Guy states his case. The Summer of Love 40th Anniversary concert festival was about more than just the music. People were organizing for numerous causes, and one brave man carries a sign, and makes his bold protest against the slanders made on millions of galaxies. Intro music by Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks, recorded at the concert.

Lester Chambers, former lead singer and front man of the group The Chambers Brothers, and his band perform "People Get Ready" and "Time Has Come Today" in one of the high points of the day. "Time..." reverberates with the line, "My soul's been psychedelisized," and this video adds a heavy dose of mind melting effects. As the high spirits gather, even Jimi Hendrix seems to appear in the concert crowd.

California State Assemblyman Mark Leno presents Boots Hughston coordinator of Summer of Love 40th Anniversary with a Proclamation recognizing the spiritual awakening in Golden Gate Park, and introduces one of the members of The Doors, Ray Manzarek who did a short set with poet Michael McClure, Rob Wasserman (bass) and Jay Lane (drums). Note: This is part 1 of a number of clips being edited from the taping of this event.

Katie looks at the controversial anti-Hillary rework of the Apple 1984 TV ad, a Pre-schooler's negative campaign attack ad, and the online political analysis of college student, James Koteki. We review Carmen Electra'™s slippage and Ysabellabrave'™s videos with musical responses from Tubular TV's Scott, The Wandering Rambler.

Irish eyes are smiling as Katie returns to Tubular TV with a look at mash-ups. Digital media is practically a natural resource to be remodeled like clay. We look at TV advertisement mash-ups by Jonathan McIntosh, the ambitious stop frame animated FAST FILM by Virgil Widrich and the surrealistic work of ProjectkTV. Katie puts our green screen to the test by wearing a green T-shirt, and fortunately it did not become a see-through top. We also take a brief look at incredible new 3D dynamics simulation software from Autodesk’s Maya Nucleus project.

Hank has Joel Eisenberg stop by to show and tell us about vintage Grateful Dead, The Who, The Clash and other concert photos he shot in and around San Francisco. We show part of what's in Joel’s Vault which Hank has been digitizing and putting on the Media Spin web site on the Rock Pix pages. The Money Maniac returns to kick off the show with advice about how to avoid stock market crashes. Background musical audio track by the Grateful Dead found at archive.org.

In this Web 2.0 themed program Scott draws parallels between the birth of Reality TV and Web 2.0, reviewing the FREE HUGS video by Juan Mann, We Tube by YouTube’s zakgeorge21, bbenefiel’s YouTube videoblogging, YT Reviews by James, Web 2.0 “The Machine is Us_ing Us” by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropolgy, Kansas State University, and Money Mania, a Jim Cramer Mad Money parody.

Scott runs through over a dozen online video sharing web sites with a focus on the Azureus Project Zudeo site and their High Definition video content. He gets a laugh out of the clever Fast Love interview with drive up window fast food attendants, and checks out Al Franken’s announcement to run for Senator of Minnesota. Hank returns with his “24″ parody, this time trying to solve global warming.

This week we ramp things up with Scott who vents about cell phone usage, pointing out how online video provides power to the people with the help of Bill Moyer's speech at the 2007 National Conference for Media Reform. We introduce our innovative new multi-guest character, "Stickhead" who appears as President Bush, Barack Obama and a surprise guest who screams about popcorn.

Tubular TV Show Number 2 reports on a pet washing machine, cockatoos, a weird shark, Kevin Federline and MC Hammer’s Super Bowl TV adverts and a DUI failing his test. There was much more, but we had mercy on you all.
