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

This is a video of ex-NASA engineer Mark Rober building and experimenting with Chopstix, a googly eyed, midi-controlled transparent player piano he built that can not only play some of the hardest songs out there like Rush E (previously), but also talk via pressing its keys to form the necessary

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

This is a video of 12-year old British-Zulu drummer Nandi Bushell covering Neil Peart’s percussion on Rush’s ‘Tom Sawyer’ like she can do this in her sleep. For reference, I can’t do anything in my sleep except have terrifyingly realistic nightmares and accidentally (but thankfully) farting myself awake. Per Nandi:
