This is a video of university students from Utrechts Conservatorium in the Netherlands performing a beautiful orchestral cover of Radiohead’s ‘Paranoid Android’ (aren’t they all?) at graduation. Each student arranged their own parts individually, then came together to combine them all into the piece you see here. Most impressive. For

Warm on the heels of their cover of Outkast’s ‘Hey Ya’, this is another video from Harvard’s cooler-than-cool THUD percussion ensemble performing Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ on boomwhackers. I like all the sunglasses and blindfolds, real slick. Now you can send this video to a friend and

This is a video of very talented musician Samara Ginsberg performing the theme to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 Psycho as an eight-part multitrack while dressed as Norman Bates’ deceased mother. Honestly, I found this video way scarier than the movie. Of course I haven’t actually seen the movie because I’m too

This is a video of an equine trio playing a little improvisational jazz on an electronic keyboard. The one in front of the instrument really seems to enjoy playing, while the one behind the keyboard seems more determined to eat one of the black keys. Regardless, this is a concert

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
