Post?

So I've been trying to keep up with this whole posting something every day thing, but this weekend at Crown threw me off that schedule. I didn't really do anything interesting or blog-worthy today, so instead I'll share with you some of the things I've recently favorited on YouTube - guaranteed to be a good source of entertainment.


First up, a really impressive medley/cover of Lady Gaga songs - Bad Romance, Just Dance, Poker Face, and a bit of Love Game and Paparazzi. Not only are the songs stitched together well, but the guy is a fantastic singer.



Next up, a very cool animation of Debussy's Clair de Lune. You can see every note the piano plays, and how long it's held, unfolding as little colored rectangles. It's as much visual art as it is music.



This is an absolutely hilarious parody of the average cookie-cutter TV news report from the BBC's Charlie Brooker. NSFW (Not Safe For Work) warning - he does swear a tiny bit.



A cover of Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child by guitarist Robert Randolph and singer Rob Thomas. Robert Randolph is an incredible slide guitarist, and frankly he gets more energetic and engages with the crowd far more than most people who play the guitar standing up. I was lucky enough to see him live at W&M's Homecoming concert this fall.



And finally, a funny clip featuring a (rather intoxicated) Kiefer Sutherland, best known as Jack Bauer. You won't believe me if I tell you what goes on, so just watch it. It's only 8 seconds.
