17 year-old Canadian Julia Dales won the wildcard competition for entry into the Beatbox Battle World Championship, so now she has a chance to win the whole competition.
I’m always amazed beatboxers are able to keep a straight face for so long, and the same is true of this clip. I’d crack up after the first bar. She is pretty amazing though, and clearly doesn’t need to worry about such matters.
But wait, why am I here when I could be making predictably misogynistic/lewd remarks about her on YouTube, like everyone else? Seeya!
This is Joe. He’s four years old, he’s been drumming for less than a year, and if you watch him doing “Rock And Roll All Night” this well without cracking a smile, you’re out of blood.
Click the image to watch - and while you’re there check out his other videos, which feature him rocking the shit out of Korn, Green Day, The Who and AC/DC, among others.
Update: Er, it looks like this post was the kiss of death for poor TubeDubber, because it seems to have had its “account suspended”. Soz.
Doves’ new video, for “Kingdom Of Rust”, is pretty bloody dull*. It’s basically just a bloke driving around in a Ford Cortina. Fortunately a site called TubeDubber - which is what the BennyHillifier uses to do its thing - allowed me to liven up the video by handily removing Doves’ music and substituting it with Madness’ “Driving In My Car”. It improves the whole experience no end.
That’s all there is to TubeDubber, really - you search for a video and a song, and it plays them together. The opportunities for high-larious combinations are limited only by what is on YouTube.
Here’s my Doves/Madness dub.
*It has a very touching “reveal” at the end, but, you know. Too little, too late.

Kutiman’s Thru You project will probably remain the YouTube mash-up thingy to beat, but koradan‘s syncing together of four different people playing the constituent parts of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” is pretty impressive. Apparently the virtual band have never met, which at least means they can never break up.
These ladies are called The Mentalists. Their mentalism manifests itself through their willingness to spend Lord knows how many hours learning how to play an MGMT song together on their iThings.
I can’t believe they got through this without at least one device’s battery failing, or someone receiving a text.
A punk band playing alongside a hacked 80s Nintendo Entertainment System doesn’t, on paper, sound like the most rewarding listening experience for anyone other than Nintendo fanboy nerdlingers.
However, Anamanaguchi’s Dawn Metropolis may prove that instrumental punk/video game mash-ups can be worth listening to even once the novelty has worn off.
From what I’ve listened to, Anamanaguchi sound a bit like a speeded-up, Guitar Hero version of NYC guitar synthstrumentalists Ratatat. But you probably won’t know if it’s really your kind of thing until you’ve actually listened to a bit of it - which you can do over the page.
Gaaah, tourists! Rucksacks! Walking down the middle of the station platform at 2 metres an hour! Cagoules! Gaaah! Etcetera!
Blame Ringo are a band who have, for their new single “Garble Arch”, created a clever time-lapse video of tourists re-enacting The Beatles’ famous Abbey Road album cover zillions of times over the course of a day.
Ahhh, tourists. You know you’d do it too.
The number of child musical genius videos on the internet is fast approaching the number of cats falling asleep videos on the internet. If there are loads of them does that mean they’re not geniuses after all? Does it just mean all the other kids are really stupid?
I was one of the stupid kids, as evidenced by the fact that I can be impressed this Argentinian kid can play so well without looking at the strings.
This version of that song used in the “this is M&S food” Marks And Spencer ads is a year and a half old now, so I suppose I can always hope that having reached almost double figures little Lucciano Pizzichini is now a smacked-out wreck.
