Way back in my day, we hung out in AOL chat rooms and bought CDs. We also drank Everclear and did keg stands to celebrate the end of a semester. Nowadays, irony-loving whippersnappers (from U of Mississippi) perform hidden camera dance numbers from films already in the bargain DVD bin. (I know I may sound snarky, but the nerd in me still thinks this is kinda cool).

Music videos are having a sort of creative renaissance lately, and I’m starting to remember why I used to love them so much way back in yesteryear. First came OK Go’s Rube Goldberg-esque video for “This Too Shall Pass”…then Lady Gaga & Beyonce made incarceration look hot in “Telephone”. Next up, it’s a much more understated but equally impressive video from Diane Birch called “Valentino”. The video is one continuous take, and it took two weeks of intense rehearsals to perfect it. Enjoy:

OK Go has created another viral video jaw-dropper…I’ve always loved these “Mousetrap”/Rube Goldberg chain-reaction videos – this one takes the genre to a whole other level. Sit back and enjoy – I guarantee you’ll watch it until the very last frame.
Meet 5-year-old Jonah White. He’s been playing drums since he was 3-years-old, and he’s never taken a lesson. Instead, he learned by watching and mimicking other drummers on Youtube. Wow.
I see a ton of hot groupies in this kid’s future…

I’ve been battling my annoying insomnia tonight by playing with Instrumentube videos…I can’t believe someone didn’t think of this already. By clicking different points on the Youtube sliders below, you can play the piano, guitars, and even a percussion shaker. Get in touch with your inner composer and make your own sweet tunes -
