This is a video of the entirely robotic One Hacker Band performing a rendition of Nirvana’s 1991 banger ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. Even without watching the video, you can tell it’s a robot band playing it. It sounds robotic. Like I’ve often been accused of, it has no soul. Also,

This is a video of two cats playing with a rubber band and litter box door edited by musician French Fuse to perform the White Stripes’ 2003 banger ‘Seven Nation Army’. If there was ever a good reason the internet was invented, this is it. Al Gore probably couldn’t fathom

This is a video of Brazilian pianist, accordionist, sound engineer, musician, aquarist (aquarium keeper), YouTuber, and starer (you got a problem with me?!) Vinheteiro demonstrating skill progression on a harpsichord from one minute of playing, to ten years (5,256,000 minutes). Of course this is assuming the musician already has some
