Just....neat.
Great artistic video project.
Be careful once it reaches the football stadium at the end...right when you think the video is over, it gets louder.

That video makes me miss my undergraduate antics...

Life has really been busy for me lately.
So much so that I've not even had time to chill at night.
Well, I found a few minutes tonight, and found this that I enjoyed.

Check the channel, various other fun stuff too.
He mixes various styles of music, electronic media, mixes, all into the word 'art'.

[JamminR]

Found this interesting.

Wow, 5 whole months since my last post here.
I've just not been doing my daily wimp site viewing, that, and guess I just haven't found anything inspirational.
First - close friends know, I'm not adventurous.
I admire those who are. I'd likely never have the spirit to do what this man did - even seeing all the awesome sights and views this man got to see, while at the same time doing charitable work.

(It's a long video 8.5 minutes - decent accompaniment track though)

Second - I like piano.
I like ragtime.
I like Fur Elise.
I love this video - http://www.wimp.com/eliseragtime/

Silly fun.

Is it bad that I sort of enjoy that song?

[Megiddo]

Me too...

[JamminR]

Admittedly, I'm a bit biased towards Aloe Blacc's original 'Wake me up', and absolutely love Avicii's remix of it, which most of the vocals of the Rick Astley mashup of "Never going to give you up" are mixed with.

For years. I've used VLC to play media on my Windows, and when available, other OS machines so I don't have to worry about codec packs.
While searching for a way to save youtube videos with one click button push, I came across this wonderful playlist extension for VLC, which allows me to just copy/paste or drag and drop a youtube playlist into VLC, then move on to other sites/whatever else I might feel like doing. (I usually use audio playlists, not video, on YT)

That's pretty cool. While we're onto plugins, I found this Chrome extension that works pretty similar to it.

Long time no post.
I've been enjoying wimp.com through Plex on my big screen TV.
Sitting here doing some side-work on the PC, found this.

Tortuous fun.
I've got 4. One obsessive and fast about chasing.
Maybe I'll attach it to his head some day and watch all of them.

[Stickly Man!]

Hah, that reminds me of my kitty! .. Except he was pretty lazy. He'd chase a laser for a little while before just plopping over and waiting for it to come to him lol.

And now to hijack your thread! If you enjoy epic Orchestral music, then you'll love this demo Thomas Bergersen put on his Facebook page:

I LOVE IT!

You can hear more of his work on his "Illusions" album (Highly recommend!), or check out anything put out by "Two Steps From Hel(l)", which he and another guy makes epic stuff like this for movie trailers and such. https://www.youtube.com/user/TwoStepsFromTheMusic

I've never posted (or at least, search this thread didn't find 'wote' or 'walk') about one of my favorite Indie Youtube bands.
I say Indie because, originally, they mostly were. I say youtube because, well, much of the stuff they do just, imo, just doesn't translate well to straight audio only.
There are two big items to almost every WOTE video. 1) They do it all in one constant take, no cuts (even if edited for motion/speed later, no cuts) . 2) There's almost always "the bearded guy" doing something fun. (They like to toss instruments from off stage too)

Walk Off The Earth - https://www.youtube.com/user/walkofftheearth
They do LOTS of covers. I was first introduced to them by a viral video of them playing Gotye's "Somebody that I used to know" on a huge guitar.
But, I enjoy much of their own stuff too.
Red hands - way they meant it.
Red Hands - Unedited (SERIOUSLY...THEY DID IT WITH NO CUTS)
Red Hands - Razudox remix (2 members do it)
