Music Is Everywhere: Scratching With Barcodes

Music Is Everywhere: Scratching With Barcodes

This is a video from experimental electronic music band Electronicos Fantasticos of a member using barcodes to scratch like vinyl records. It’s surprisingly decent. It is also the sound I imagine two robots make when they’re having sex. “What about three robots?” Robots don’t have orgies. “How do you know?” I was young and carefree once.

Johnny Cash’s ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ Reimagined As A Disco Song

Johnny Cash's 'Folsom Prison Blues' Reimagined As A Disco Song

This is another video (previously) from Youtuber There I Ruined It (you sure did buddy, thanks for nothing!) of Johnny Cash’s iconic ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ reimagined as a disco song. Just like one of my cats, it’s pretty horrible. He pooped on the bathroom floor this morning and I stepped on it before it was dry, just to be clear. Yesterday I would have said he was okay.

Keep going for the video, as well as the original for a palate cleanser.

Real Life Fruit Ninja Slices 40 Apples In One Minute While Juggling Knives

Real Life Fruit Ninja Slices 40 Apples In One Minute While Juggling Knives

This is a video of semi-professional Guinness World Record breaker (everybody needs a hobby) David Rush setting yet another record, this time slicing 40 apples in one minute while juggling knives. For reference, the previous record was 36, and my record will remain zero.

Normal People React To Looking Down From 10-Meter (33-Foot) Diving Platform

Normal People React To Looking Down From 10-Meter (33-Foot) Diving Platform

This is a video of a bunch of regular people reacting to standing atop a 10-meter diving platform and deciding whether or not to jump. It was interesting to watch. Now as someone who grew up a swimmer and lived around pools I’ve jumped off 10-meter platforms a handful of times in my life, and it was terrifying every single time. All you can do is pencil and hope your body is still straight when you hit the water, at which point you’re suddenly 10 feet underwater and out of breath because you didn’t realize you were holding it the whole time you were on the platform. Still, I can say I did it. Now? Now I don’t even feel comfortable taking the stairs into a lazy river with my inner tube.

Over The Top Halloween Lights Display Choreographed To Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’

Over The Top Halloween Lights Display Choreographed To Metallica's 'Enter Sandman'

This is a video of Tom BetGeorge’s 2020 Halloween light and music display, this time choreographed to Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’. Some of those light effects really are nuts. You just have to watch it, even if you skip around, because no screencap can really do it justice. So — you think Tom hands out full-size candy bars on Halloween? I mean he kinda has to, right? You can’t have a fully choreographed laser light show on your house and only hand out those shitty peanut butter candies in the orange and black wrappers, right? “I bet he turns his porch light off and doesn’t hand out anything.” What the — I’ll get the eggs and toilet paper.

Holy Smokes: 7th Grader Shreds Metal Medley For School Talent Show

Holy Smokes: 7th Grader Shreds Metal Medley For School Talent Show

This is a video of 7th grader Tanner Benedict, who’s been playing guitar for four years, performing a metal medley on electric guitar at his school talent show. He’s, uh, he’s pretty good. His set list, which I begged him for his hard copy of after the show along with a guitar pick:

‘Rain’ by Rob Scallon, ‘Holy Wars’ by Megadeth, ‘Raining Blood’ by Slayer, ‘Alison Hell’ by Annihilator, ‘Omnipresent Perception’ by Beyond Creation, ‘Eruption’ and D.O.A. by Eddie Van Halen (rest in peace) and ‘Cowboys From Hell’ by Pantera.

Wait — why is there no stage? What kind of talent show doesn’t have a stage? Tanner deserves a stage. Ooh, and a mosh pit. Man, I still remember the first time I got into a mosh pit, and let me tell you — it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack trying to find your tooth in one of those things.

Keep going for the video, metal medley begins around 2:00.
