This is a video of musician Alex Melton reimagining Barenaked Ladies’ 1998 hit ‘One Week’ as a Blink-182 song. It’s pretty spot-on. As a matter of fact, I’m not convinced that isn’t Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus just wearing an Alex Melton costume. And even if it’s not, with all the
To pay tribute to the late, great rock star, this is a video created by stop motion animator Thomas J Yagodinski of a Jawa performing Van Halen’s ‘Eruption’ on a custom made 16-inch Frankenstrat. Thomas made both the Jawa and the miniature Frankenstrat for the video, which was a treat

The Beatles: some people love them, some people hate them, and some people are indifferent to their music. Me? I’ve never heard of them until now. But Youtuber Broccaloo has used OpenAI’s Jukebox, a “neural net that generates music, including rudimentary singing, as raw audio in a variety of genres
This is a video of Luna Lee covering Pink Floyd’s iconic ‘Wish You Were Here’ on a traditional Korean gayageum. As always with Luna’s covers, it was a joy to listen to. You know, I actually got to see Luna in concert…gosh, what feels like forever ago. It wasn’t forever
