“We Will Rock You”…by Microsoft Songsmith

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 at 10:52 pm

About a year ago, Microsoft came out with this software that take a capella vocal tracks and matches them up with “appropriate” and “fitting” instrumental back-up stock music that it automatically generates. The problem is, Songsmith usually gets the songs hilariously wrong, and just loves to bend genres. It’s like a new form of absurdist art.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this conga version of Queen’s hard rocking hit, “We Will Rock You.”

Lady GaGa’s new video is an epic 10 minute spaghetti western

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 at 7:50 pm

It is OUT OF CONTROL. The song is “Telephone,” which as you probably know is a pretty normal pop/dance club hit with admittedly stupid lyrics. But this music video does not reflect those lyrics at all. It’s straight up Tarantino. GaGa can do no wrong! (Thanks, Jeff)

Lisztomania Love

Posted by Pete Berg on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 at 6:23 pm

One of the best songs of last year (if not THE best) was Lisztomania by Phoenix. The song inspired a bunch of fun music videos of people dancing and being really, really happy…starting with a mashup of the John Hughes brat pack, and then spreading to hipsters in Brooklyn and San Francisco. I know these videos are a little bit old now, but they are all awesome and really will lift your spirits.

ALSO…The PS22 chorus did a totally tubular cover of Lisztomania which you have got to check out:

Music video by Hold Your Horses deconstructs famous paintings

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, March 4th, 2010 at 4:56 pm

If you’re even remotely interested in painting or art history, you’ll enjoy this video! This is by the French band Hold Your Horses for their song “70 Million,” and it features members of the band appearing in famous classic paintings, singing their tune. I’m not a huge fan of the song, but the video is a great concept. How many of the paintings / artists can you name?

OK Go – This Too Shall Pass

Posted by Pete Berg on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 am

OK Go does it again! This time, they set up one of the most extravagant Rube Goldberg devices in history, which you have to see to believe.

This is the epic follow-up to their other viral music video hits (Everyone remembers OK Go, on Treadmills…and this is actually second video for this very song — the first, marching band one was posted on YouTube a few months ago. EMI Music has inexplicably disabled embedding on both of these videos, which makes no sense; it’s as if they don’t want the videos to go viral, or for people to actually see them, and, you know, buy the album. But I digress.) Enjoy!

“Life in Quarantine,” by Fully Sick Rapper

Posted by Pete Berg on Saturday, February 27th, 2010 at 6:06 am

Christian Van Vuuren was diagnosed with TB and has spent the last 55 days quarantined to a single hospital room. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he made this amazing rap video. I hope he recovers, I want to hang out with him.

Parry Gripp sings about nachos (also, iPad)

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, February 4th, 2010 at 5:26 pm

Most of the time, I find Parry Gripp’s songs annoying and stupid…but he really nailed it with this one. At least the nachos part. Man, nachos are friggin delicious. (Thanks, Dan)
