This is a video of a trombonist (notice how I didn’t say tromboner? It’s called maturity) performing in an empty indoor swimming pool. It sounds fantastic. Way better than a trombone played anywhere else, which can typically be described as fart-like. This almost sounds angelic. Like my voice, if all
This is a video of musician Scott Bradlee performing a delightful ragtime medley of Super Mario songs originally written by Nintendo composer Koji Kondo. I love ragtime music, it’s so upbeat. And I need that because I’m usually downbeat. And browbeat. And just beat in general. I could use a
In what’s arguably the best use of a rubber chicken in a song ever, this is a short video of a latex pecker covering the intro to Led Zeppelin’s 1970 classic ‘Immigrant Song’. It’s exactly what you’d expect, and even better than you imagine. So, if you were wondering what

This is a video of musician Lorenzo Vaccaro playing “the supposedly impossible MIDI track Rush E” at a very respectable 152BPM. For reference, that’s about my heart rate on my walk down the driveway to get the mail. My doctor says I’m going to die. My bookie says the same
Ever wonder what a piano would sound like if its soundboard was completely submerged in water? Well you’re in luck, because Youtuber/piano sadist Mattias Krantz does just that in this video, which may also double as a long-form commercial for Flex Seal. The piano sounds completely different depending on whether
