“Friday” Interpreted by a Bad Lip Reader

And you thought you’d got away with not having to see or hear more of Rebecca Black after last week’s barrage. Well, tough luck because as it’s Friday you get to sing along, badly and out of synch, to this version which is, just like the title says, interpreted by a bad lip reader. So [...]

“My Favorite Color” – Kutiman

The YouTube mash-up maestro who knows how to turn a bunch of strangers who’ve uploaded performances to the site into the greatest band that never was, is back in the room with his latest effort. It’s got a soulful singer, a French horn, a saxamaphone, cello, Native American flute, but no kitchen sink. Which is [...]

SixToes: “Low Guns” Platform

What you’re witnessing here is 7 seconds on a station platform, seen through the window of a high-speed train, in slow-motion. All those moments frozen in time, captured, unlike tear drops in the rain. Unusually a band seems to have set up camp on the platform along with masked people and a woman in her [...]

What Pi Sounds Like

Time for a geek out. Assigning numbers to notes Captain Nerdling here gives a musical interpretation of Pi to 31 decimal places at a tempo of 157bpm, which is 314 divided by 2. After watching it you’ll have to go watch an episode of Married with Children or some other such crud, just to cleanse [...]

Stanton Warriors – “Turn Me Up Some”

Much to admire in this video. Some kick ass beats courtesy of Stanton Warriors intercut with some different styles of dancing from ballet, breakdance and 70s hippy disco. All spliced up with some fancy editing techniques that synchronise well with the accompanying track. One to sit back and savour. Then maybe play again, treat yourself.

Eclectic Method – The King’s Remix

What with Charlie Sheen getting all the attention lately, it’s easy to forget that there are plenty of other things getting remixed out there. And one of those is this. Eclectic Method’s chop up of the Oscar-winning movie The King’s Speech taking some famous stu-stu-stutterers like Michael Palin’s Ken Pile from A Fish Called Wanda [...]

Corporate Occult

This is a warning to anyone out there who is on the look-out for a one-night stand; you pick up what you think is a hot looking girl, get her back to yours, skip the pleasantries and get straight down to business. And then, suddenly, in the height of passion things get all freaky. And [...]

“Charlie Sheen’s Got Tiger Blood, Man” – Apollo Run

Charlie Sheen, the man who works on alternate terrestrial realms and has epic benders that would shame Keith Richards. A man who knows how to make a headline grabbing quote that makes you question the sanity of this reality. And now these fine young men have put his complete breakdown/transcendence to a higher realm/journey to [...]

Rubberbandits – “I Wanna Fight Your Father”

If they’re not trying to win the affections of a bridesmaid with their impressive equine transportation (a horse outside), then they’re wanting to fight a young lady’s father to show her how much they adore her. And not just mildly hurt him either, but take a Stanley knife and slash his face apart. You see, [...]

Baba Flower the Dancing King

Not everyone can be this awesome. It takes dedication, skill and an attitude of extreme not giving a shit. This old dude could out dance the whole cast of Step Up and still have energy left over to hit the clubs and bust some moves on the dance floors. Hail to the dancing king.

Very Super Famous – Jon Lajoie

Jon Lajoie doesn’t need x-ray vision or super strength, because he has super fame. So famous that even before he’s announced a new album the world instinctively knows it. Even Zen hermits in the Himalayas and plant roots deep under the desert floor know who he is. You’ll never hear someone saying “Jon La-who?”. Unless [...]
