These are a couple videos of musical duo Monen mit Melonen (translation: Monkeys with Melons) playing the same violin at the same time. That’s awesome. I’m not sure if this started as a money saving strategy or what, but if I had a dollar for every guitar I’ve smashed on
Because music is all around us (except at work, we’re not allowed to listen to music at work), this is a video of Luke Pickman of InstrumentManiac playing the C major scale on 123 instruments in 123 seconds. The video is exactly 2:03 long too so I think he nailed
This is a video of Foggy Mountain Spaceship performing a challenging 5/4 time cover of John Carpenter’s Halloween theme on a trio of banjos. It’s a tasty jam. Really made me want to rewatch Halloween. I’m not sure I’ll be able to find the time though, my girlfriend already has

This is a lovely video of virtuoso cellist Yo-Yo Ma performing Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 in the wilds of the Great Smokey Mountains, setting up right next to hiking path and babbling brook. So relaxing, isn’t it? The perfect escape from the hectic pace of life. Me? I have
This is a video of musician Moyun, who never shows her face, performing Michael Jackson’s 1982 banger ‘Beat It’ on a traditional Chinese guzheng. She does a great job. Me? I never show my face either, although likely for completely different reasons. Maybe she does it for an air of
