This is a video of Brazilian pianist Glaucio Cristelo of Youtube channel Piano Rock performing a cover of Foo Fighters’ ‘Everlong’ for shoppers at a mall outside of a clothing store. It’s nice, and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if that clothing store had a record sales day
This is a video of the Maytree Acapella Quintet (previously) performing the soundtrack and sound effects of Street Fighter II ENTIRELY WITH THEIR MOUTHS. Me? I only use my mouth for eating and yelling at people. They do an amazing job, and the faces they make were definitely value-add as

This is a video of a young Björk Guðmundsdóttir singing ‘Cork The Bitch’s Arse’ as lead singer of punk band Tappi Tíkarrass during a 1982 performance at the Western Melavellinum in Reykjavík, Iceland. She really is a joy to watch on stage — such a presence. Unrelated but also kinda
