Silicon Valley entrepreneur Stanley Kirk Burrell, who sometimes goes by another name and often wears very large pants, as the video above, has teamed with Flock founders Geoffrey Arone and Anthony Young to launch DanceJam, a new online video site. Burrell is perhaps best known for pairing with videoblogger Justine Ezarik of iJustine to endorse Y Combinator’s MySpace profile tool.

Burrell told the Financial Times he spoke with angel investor Ron Conway prior to teaming with Arone and Young on DanceJam. In an interesting side note, business partners might be surprised to learn that prior to his tech career, Burrell also dabbled in music. He’s perhaps best know for his 2006 album titled Look Look Look. And here’s a picture of Burrell with fellow entrepreneur Jay Adelson, the CEO of Digg.

“Um, yeah, currently two Zunes in the top 25 electronics bestsellers on Amazon. Nine iPods.” Deathbychici also points out that while Microsoft’s heavily discounted $89 30GB model is currently outselling each of the various nine iPod models, different colors of the iPod Nano are outselling the regularly-priced Zune. Ouch.
