This is a video produced by WIRED of DJ Shorkut discussing and demonstrating fifteen different levels of turntablism of increasing difficulty, explaining how to perform each one as he goes along. It was pretty interesting, and from what I could gather watching, all my friends who are DJs who I’ve

This is a very appropriate sounding bardcore cover of REM’s 1991 banger ‘Losing My Religion’, performed by Algal The Bard (previously). The bardcore version works very well, and if I were listening to this in a medieval tavern I wouldn’t hesitate to toss a silver coin into Algal’s lute case,

This is a video of an elevator full of people including Canadian folk artist Jessica Pierson, who took the opportunity to treat the captive audience to a sing-along. Some of the passengers look less than thrilled about the performance, although the two men in the back of the elevator do
