I came across this video today on the way in which fire reacts to music and thought I should share it here. It’s already got 1.4 million views on Youtube so maybe you’ve seen it before. But it’s the first time I came across it, so perhaps it will be new to some of you [...]

Is youtube becoming sell outs? This Vevo advertising thing before playing videos gets very frustrating. You will be at a party or something and in the heat of the moment, you want to show your friend a song that you just heard, and you have to sit through an advertisement while your friend waits there [...]

I don’t know this kid’s name (***edit: his name is Greyson Michael Chance***) or anything else about him except that he is in the 6th grade and that he goes by the name “Greyson97″ on YouTube. And that he did this killer cover of “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga at some kind of school function that [...]

I just came across some electronic music recorded in 1958 that’s really blowing my mind. I didn’t realize music like this was made in 1958.

This cartoon (embedded below) brings the lyrics (written by Paul McCartney) to “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” to life. I’ve always thought this song gets a bad rap (including from Paul’s fellow [...]

I just came across a couple of OK Go’s music videos that I thought were so groovy I had to share them here. It’s quite rare for me to be excited by any music video but these are something different from the norm. The first is for “WTF?” and features some rather insane special effects [...]

I just came across the YouTube sensation Julia Nunes and I think she’s rather brilliant. Not only is she quite talented she also appears to have very good taste in music (covers of The Beatles, The Beach Boys…) Check out some of her videos: “All My Loving” by The Beatles “God Only Knows” by The [...]

Almost everyone knows that The Beatles came to the United States in 1964 and became the most popular band of all time. They had 6 #1 singles that year (“I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “She Loves You,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Love Me Do,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” & “I Feel Fine.”) The Beatles [...]
