Thru-YOU

The concept is really pretty simple: create an entire musical album by sampling and remixing YouTube videos. The results, given to us by an artist called Kutiman, is unreal:

To give you an idea of how it's done, Podcasting News shows one of the videos along with a list of the source videos that were mixed and sampled. And if you really like what you hear/see, a full video list can be accessed here.

25 things

I've got a couple of Facebook posts for today. The first is a video that I thought was pretty funny:

Here it is...the 100th post. And since I got very few (translate "zero") comments on what the subject should be, I decided to celebrate this occasion with a second poll. Which product is more "can't live without"...the Snuggie or the Sham-Wow? View the commercials and then decide for yourself.

I'm not sure what animal the second is from, but it's narrated by someone who sounds really official:


The third is my favorite and is from the wing of a bat:

The day the music died.

Friday Distraction

It's hard to focus on Friday:

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Enjoy.

Things I Like: 24

This Sunday begins a new season of the Fox television program "24". I started watching this show during its 5th season and have been hooked since. The four hour season premier that begins Sunday night is especially important to the fans of the show, since last year's entire season was canceled due to the Hollywood writer's strike. I can't wait.

This morning, NPR's Morning Edition aired an interview with the Kiefer Suthlerland, who plays the Jack Bauer, the show's protagonist.

Here's the trailer:

Things I Can't Help But Like

I can't help it. I've had Toby Keith's new song in my head all day.
