Nintendo Acapella, Stomp, and WOW Coulton

Hmmm...well these are only vaguely related to class...but it reminded me of Thurtle's music choices, only more tolerable :)

Anyway, the first is a clip I've always loved. Talk about humans imitating tech *L*:

Seriously cool.




And then the rhythmic stylings of the music group Stomp who find rhythm (fit in your own comment about interconnectedness and networks here) in every day life and activities. The kitchen one has ALWAYS been my fav!



Also, um, this isn't at all rhythmic, but how's this for web enabled human networking?

Johnathan Coultan is a comic music genius who writes a "Thing a Week" (literally a new song every week) and supplies them to the world via podCast. Then Mike Spiff Booth (aka spiffworld), another geek genius who is Program Manager at Adobe animates them using graphics from World of Warcraft. This particular song (not even my favorite, but a good one) is well known to me, because one of my friends works for Google (which now owns youtube...the place these vids are released) and rumor has it the google nerds sit around and watch this vid repeatedly. *grin* So...that's only about 4 degrees of separation, right? And one more makes you, whoever is at my blog reading and watching this :)



(if you like it, go check out other vids by spiffworld on you tube. He does a LOT of coultan songs with WOW images!)
