I’ve made my first youtube video and I’m quite proud of it, definitely more to come.

WTF came in the mail? Package 1

So I’ve come across a ton of amazing videos on YouTube this past week so I thought I’d share them.

• Black Lagoon OP - Great anime, great opening.
• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ED (Cosplay) - Some fans dress up and do the dance from the ED of Haruhi (Orignal ED)
• Some otaku dancing the Haruhi ED live
• Cockroach Controlled Mobile Robot
• Geek-Week vs. Joss Whedon - Geek-Week interviews someone cosplaying as Joss Whedon
• Stephen Colbert Roasts George Bush at Whitehouse - Link is to Google Video because C-SPAN had video removed from YouTube
• Nine Inch Nails to Mars - Someone puts the NASA Mars Pathfinder animation to Nine Inch Nails - Sunspots song, great mix!
• NIN - Every Day Is Exactly The Same - Someone makes a funny video to the NIN Song
• Pac Man: The Movie - Funny trailer for fake movie
• Star Trek Cribs
• Star Wars Lightsaber Duel - Best lightsaber duel ever!
• Techno Rave! - Someone having too much fun with Gary’s Mod

Well I think thats enough for now, probably will have a bunch more next week.

via Music Thing:

The after-school percussion group at Minnetonka High School, Minneapolis, rehearsed for months and can now play two tracks from DJ Shadow’s ‘Endtroducing’ album. The music was arranged by 25 year-old geographer/law student/vibraslap enthusiast Brian Udelhofen, who teaches the group. The Shadow Percussion Project page links to this amazing video [65mb WMV] of the group’s live performance in May 2005.

People ‘in the know’ may have already seen this but I couldn’t help passing it on to people who might have missed it, since I just saw this now.

via hack a day:

sCrAmBlEd? HaCkZ! by Sven König is an amazing piece of video remixing software. It’s built using C++, Python and PureData. It takes music videos, chops them up by beats and indexes the samples by sound signature in a database. You then beatbox into a microphone to describe the music you want to hear. The software builds the music you want out of the sample database. Sven has put together an excellent video that describes the program and has example performances. It’s a must watch. Get it either directly from his site or watch it on YouTube.

So awsome, can’t wait to till he gets around to releasing it. If you don’t understand from reading the blurb, but are still interested, definately check out the video.
