ARMS carve the air. A hand closes as if to pull taffy. An index finger shoots out. The torso leans in, leans back. And somehow, music pours forth — precisely coordinated and emotionally expressive — in response to this mysterious podium dance.
An interesting read.
Adele - Someone Like You Cover (via CharliesVlogs).
Fantastic singing, especially by Emily Luther.
“Closing Time” - Semisonic Cover (by Alex Goot & Chad Sugg) (via gootmusic).
Last time I’ll ever hear this song this year…
Have you ever wondered what a ghost sounds like? Engineer Vic Tandy may already know
Interesting.
Happy Birthday!! (by KurtHugoSchneider).
The most elaborate rendition of Happy Birthday on piano that I’ve ever heard.
Awesome arrangement of Taylor Swift’s Love Story and Coldplay’s Viva la Vida. The expressiveness is brilliant.
Ronan Parke - Edge of Glory (Cover) (by ronanparkevevo).
World Premiere of “Outlaws of Love” - Adam Lambert (by TALCvids).
A song about acceptance, or the lack thereof.
Another Home (The ‘Other’ National Day Video) (by sindieonly).
This music video is a very good summary of the events in Singapore over the past year. Must watch, if you haven’t.
Awesome voice and technique.
Written by someone as old as Singapore itself, the Fun Pack Song is the latest curious absurdity from Singapore that has gone viral. I haven’t heard anything good about it, but perhaps it’s an exquisite little piece of stupidity. What better way is there to represent the bizarre—the feverish, false patriotism and the socio-cultural space of Singapore in general—than with pure bizarreness?
A very good analysis of the fun pack song. Made my day totally.
“The Edge of Glory” - Lady Gaga (by gootmusic).
“The record companies, the most important thing they do is not distribute music,” Jobs said. “It’s picking which of 500 people are going to be the next Sheryl Crow. That’s what they do. And some of them do it quite well. And it’s an intuitive process. There’s not enough data.”
“It’s not surprising that they didn’t understand Napster,” Jobs said. “It’s not surprising that they didn’t understand that distributing their content over the Internet was the next big wave.”
Because technology companies treat record labels like clearing houses for content, Silicon Valley bigwigs have trouble getting through the door, Jobs suggested. So it was perhaps Jobs’ expertise from Pixar, during his exodus period from Apple, that has given him the edge to secure risky deals with entertainment giants first.
This is where a confluence of experience in multiple industries will bring you.
We Pray For You—55 Youtubers Edition—Japan/US Tornado Tribute (Original song) (by jriceproductions).
Quite an impressive collaboration. It’s not easy to compile 55 users worth of input into one video and make it sound like a song, sung together.
