"Don't Stop Me Now" in Super Mario World
Someone has recreated Queen’s hit: “Don’t Stop Me Now” in Super Mario World. This is totally crazy and it makes my head hurt to think of how much time must have been spent to make this work. Nevertheless, it is pretty awesome.

Alexander Hamilton Rap
Lin Manuel is a Tony award winning composer and lyricist who is the genius behind the musical In The Heights. He is currently creating a conceptional hip-hop album based on the life of Alexander Hamilton. Sounds crazy, right? I thought the same thing…and then I watched the video below. He was invited to perform at the White House Poetry Jam and the Obamas clearly enjoyed his...

(500) Days of Summer - Bank Dance
I am looking forward to seeing the new movie, (500) Days of Summer, in the next few weeks. I have always been into Zooey Deschanel’s work, especially her her band, She and Him. I stumbled across the following video tonight on BuzzFeed. It’s being released as a promo video for (500) Days, but I think it’s a great little She and Him music vid as well.

Cornelius
After reviewing my last post, I realized that Sour’s sound (see previous post)and music video style is very similar to Cornelius, one of my favorite bands. I then revisited some of Cornelius’videos and decided I had to post here. A few years back, I had the opportunity to see these fine musicians at the TLA. Their show was a multi-sensory experience that was truly amazing - a giant...
