Art vs. Science

A mad scientist’s “Magic Fountain” of light that emits a sonic burst that turns ordinary people into amazing dancers? Best video ever. Thank you, Art vs. Science! As I said on Facebook, I really recommend you watch this if you have any desire to get into my brain.

Celebrity Playlist

Celebrity Playlist Podcast from iTunes. I’m surprised I like this, since I hate the word “celebrity” and this podcast is just an obvious ploy to get people to buy music from iTunes.

But (but!) there are truly great moments. I mean, most of these so-called celebrities are musicians and true music geeks and it’s fun to hear people’s justifications for their sometimes great, sometimes awful music selections. The Cee-Lo one I mention below may be one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to.

Do not miss these in particular:

• Cee-Lo/Bruno Mars /Philip Lawrence
• Elton John and Leon Russell
• Heart
• Cyndi Lauper

If By Yes

Petra Haden, Yuka Honda, and two members from Cornelius! Holy crap. Creators of three of my favorite CDs (Petra Haden Sings: The Who Sell Out, Viva! La Woman, Fantasma), got together and made an album called Salt on Sea Glass. Do not miss “Eliza” featuring David Byrne. Oh! Here it is:

Sweet and delicious. [direct link]

Bonus: Here’s Petra singing I Can See for Miles — all with her mouth! [direct link]
