This is a video of Taylor Hawkins’ 16-year old son Shane playing the drums on Foo Fighters’ ‘My Hero’ during a recent tribute concert to his late father in London. He is definitely his father’s son. Even having never seen him before, I could have easily picked him out of
This is a video of Zimbabwe’s Hillcrest College Marimba Band performing at the 2017 Marimba Cup Challenge. Their performance won them the coveted Marimba Cup that year, which, at least in my mind, they all shared a celebratory drink out of afterwards. It really is a joy to watch. There’s
This is a video of Tchaikovsky’s Meditation for violin and piano being performed by violinist Eva Gigova and pianist Angela Todorova when page turner Yana Petrova drops the sheet music into the piano. Woops! Angela manages to keep her calm and have a good laugh about it during and afterward

Am I clairvoyant? No, I’ve just had this nightmare before. “Yeah, and it always ends with having to strip the bed
This is a video of musician Vermilion performing his top 50 favorite Nirvana guitar riffs. He’s pretty good with that guitar, and if I were half as good I probably would have had a lot more luck with the ladies in my college dorm. Oh who am I kidding, there
This is MIA’s 2007 banger ‘Paper Planes’ being performed (complete with gunshots) by the characters in 210 different movies. Now that — that is some serious editing. How do people do this? And, perhaps even importantly, why do they do it? Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful they do, but
