Because music is all around us (except at work, we’re not allowed to listen to music at work), this is a video of Luke Pickman of InstrumentManiac playing the C major scale on 123 instruments in 123 seconds. The video is exactly 2:03 long too so I think he nailed
Because yesterday it was September and I blinked and Halloween is four days away, these are a couple videos of musician Jer of Youtube channel Ska Tune Network performing all the instruments (including plenty of brass) for ska covers of the Ghostbusters and Addams Family themes. *licking fingers* Those were
This is a video of Foggy Mountain Spaceship performing a challenging 5/4 time cover of John Carpenter’s Halloween theme on a trio of banjos. It’s a tasty jam. Really made me want to rewatch Halloween. I’m not sure I’ll be able to find the time though, my girlfriend already has
This is a video of pianist Vinheteiro (previously) performing a medley of music chronologically from 1680 (Pachabel’s Canon) to 1935 (Carlos Gardel’s Por Una Cabeza) as a very abbreviated evolution of music. I learned a lot by listening to it. Mostly, that they sure don’t make them like they used

This is a video of musician Ronobir Lahiri performing Dr. Dre’s 1999 (my God, where has the time gone?) banger “Still D.R.E.’ on a traditional Indian sitar. If you had asked me when ‘Still D.R.E.’ came out I probably would have honestly guessed ten years ago. Definitely not 26. I
Inspired by Homer Simpson’s love of the most important food group, this is a hole-filled Les Paul style electric guitar painstakingly crafted by Artem Mayer of Copper Guitars to look like it was made from glazed donuts. It’s not actually made of donuts though (this is going to be a
