Hilarious internet musical… well worth the watch!

Pop quiz: Does it remind you of some people you know? ;-)

How a meme starts “in real life”. Guy starts dance party, single-handedly. :-)

I wonder what research is available on why and when this happens.

This clip was recorded in May 2009 on Sasquatch music festival in the scenic location of Gorge Amphitheatre (in George, Washington).

I’m thinking about which festival to visit. Exit Festival instantly comes to mind (although I’m not sure whether I’ll manage to be around in early July). What music festival do you recommend?

Fink - Q&A

Tune of the week! :-)

If you’re into this sort of acoustic soulful vocal music, check out entire Fink’s last album over at Ninja Tune’s shop.

As always, hit “HD” button above (let it load if you’re on a narrow internet pipe) for proper listening experience.

Watch and listen to this intro packing real-time rendered animation filled with fractals and music into (hold your pants) - 1kB! Yes, that’s 1024 bytes! That’s less memory that any computer you ever owned had inside.

This is just one of intros showcased this year at one of the most popular demoscene parties - Breakpoint organized in Germany.

Demo group that made this wonder is called TBC while the intro is called Untraceable

I’m amazed every time I see anything remotely advanced like this fitting in anything below 64kB… this is simply beyond my comprehension. Hm… I wonder if these guys ever get laid while trying to cram yet more fractals, fps and animation.

I was inspired to post this after learning about Serbain rap band Beogradski Sindikat rapping to the music played by Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra expressing their gratitude for support given to them in their struggle to get more funds for their great artistic work.

The video of that concert, featuring modern string quartet from Novi Sad, you can watch and listen to here. If you want to skip the string quartet part, I understand you, so go ahead and skip first 15 mins or so.

A wonderful tune from Part Time Heroes (great name BTW)… I heard this one as long time ago (say, in 2006) and it still brings me goose gumps. The wonderful vocals are sung by Jono McCleery who also plays the acoustic guitar.

However, the tune has been released in 2008 on the album “Meanwhile…

This is special Japanese Video meaning it has been released on Japanese release only.

Enjoy!

Intereresting animation and beats samples coming from London-based Mistabishi (not Mitsubishi mind you) in this cool tune bearing the appropriate name “Printer Jam”. The tune has been released by one of my favorite drum’n’bass record labels - Hospital Records.

Thanks to Djordje Joksimović for the tip!

I tried to recognize this nice deep house tune using Shazam on my Android phone but to no avail.

Do you have an idea what tune is this?
Any hint would be greatly appreciated. :-)
