Bobby McFerrin Demonstrates the Power of the Pentatonic Scale

Posted by Pete Berg on Sunday, August 2nd, 2009 at 9:00 am

Bobby McFerrin demonstrates the power of the pentatonic scale, using audience participation, at the event “Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus”, from the 2009 World Science Festival, June 12, 2009. This is really awesome, and shows just how pervasive music is in human culture.

I have never quite understood how a differential works, so I found this video incredibly interesting. Also: best narrator ever.

88 Lines About 44 Women

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, July 30th, 2009 at 8:55 am

Recorded in 1979 by the band The Nails, “88 Lines About 44 Women” is a really sweet and catchy tune that never was treated to an official music video (despite the dozens of YouTube users who have made attempts). Well, that has changed now that the original songwriter / performer Marc Campbell has released this (SLIGHTLY NSFW) video. I love the song, and the video is really good.

If you’re interested, here is one of the YouTube music video versions, where someone tried to find photos for each of the 44 women The Nails describe. It’s cool to see what type of woman the creator chose for the more abstract descriptions:

Peluca: The short film that became Napoleon Dynamite

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, July 30th, 2009 at 7:23 am

Napoleon Dynamite is one of my favorite movies of all time…and it began as a student film made by student filmmaker Jared Hess at Brigham Young University. Shot with a budget of $500 over 2 days, this film consists of many of the exact same scenarios and scenes that later were re-created for the feature.
