Why are they letting their kids listen to that?

But it's so funny.

One of the greatest moments in Andy Griffith history

"Oh! He got me."

I've been tagged.
I'm supposed to post 3 songs that are me. A little part of me...deep down inside (let's make this profound, ok?).

It's ridiculous how hard this was. I'm not even satisfied with this list. And so, I'm going to live life on the edge and post 4 songs.

Ha! Take that you...you...rule makers, you.



Because I love this movie, and because I want to snuggle with this song. I and this song are one.



Forgive the cheesy song...and the cheesy pictures. It was the only good version I could find on Youtube.



::Sigh::



Aaand, I have no idea what is up with her freaky hand motions, but the song itself is beautiful.



(ok, make it 5.)
I want to bathe in this piece.
...And please pretend like that isn't an awkward thing to say.

I want to walk through a field in Italy with George Emerson.

“It isn't possible to love and to part. You will ... wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.”

She could not understand him; the words were indeed remote. ... Yet as he spoke the darkness was withdrawn, veil after veil, and she saw to the bottom of her soul.


“Man has to pick up the use of his functions as he goes along—especially the function of Love”.

Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.

"Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn't the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating.

I sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who I Googled on the internet. He told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the very same newspaper.

Here I've posted a short video made with the photo, the music and the score (composed by the birds).

Music made with Logic.
Video made with After Effects."

Just died laughing. Please send flowers to Ripley Funeral Home.

This is one of the best Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers routines ever.

Brilliant

Beautiful

LISTEN TO THIS. AND BE AMAZED-----

Each instrument is playing the same melody - a simple descending A minor scale - but each is playing it progressively slower in the ratio 1:2:4:8:16, so that the double basses are playing at 1/16 of the speed of the 1st violins.
It's awesome.

New Frontiers in Orchestral Writing: The Catcerto

This really is an extraordinary video, a simple and silly idea executed with genuine elegance and craft. Incredibly, it actually makes for a pretty nice piece of music:

Happy Fourth of July!!!!....a few days late.

watch these videos.

Here's the other one. Youtube wouldn't let me embed it for some reason.

1930 predicts fashions of 2000

I thought this was hilarious. And not too far wrong on some of them. I'm still waiting for the electric belt that adapts body temperature to the climate, though.

Everybody dance now!

This is an ad for T-Mobile. They hired some dancers to just start dancing at a certain time in Liverpool Street Station, and everyone else sort of started to join in! It's great. I wish this happened in real life.
