Paul McCartney Rocks SunLife Stadium

It was twenty years ago today, Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play. Okay, that’s totally inaccurate but it remains a fine way to begin a Beatles related post. The concert began with a pre-concert meal at the Hard Rock Casino, but since I was a bit early, I decided to donate some money to […]

The Quagmire Of My Mind

I guess I actually need to make a post with the title of my blog in it after all these years. Having bad memories you can’t get rid of, try the Death Bear. Yeah. Right out of the LA Times comes a story on this New York City performance artist who has taken his craft to a […]

April Fool’s Day 2010

Today’s been a busy day on the Internet with April Fool’s jokes though this year’s crop is less than stellar on average. One of the more amusing ran in London’s Telegraph newspaper revealing that Virgin Media uses ferrets as the key to bridge the digital divide. Many major news outlets ran articles on everyone else’s jokes. Some of the better ones […]

Dark Side Of The Moon Tattoo

I was wondering if I was going to blog today as I had a lack of content. Thanks to Paul, I now have content. He sent me a group of “20 worst” links [LINK?] and I thought I’d share this one with you. The twenty worst tattoo typos. I won’t mention that the guy made […]

Insomnia Is Wonderful

Not. I’m starting this post at 2:35am local time. Why? Because I went to bed at 1130pm and gave up trying to sleep at 1250. The cough doesn’t help the sleeping. I did email, checked AFDB, and sent some IMs. Almost nobody was awake to bother, though I did bug SWMBO for a bit. I […]

How to Train Your Dragon

I wasn’t going to see this film. I thought the previews looked silly and the title made it seem uninteresting. The film needs a better name. The reviews were pretty good so ultimately, I decided I’d go see it. The Higgi, Mom, Timmy and went along with me. And with the aid of a shitload […]

Tickle In My Throat Still

Being sick sucks big time. I don’t even feel bad. There’s just this tickle from the dreaded sinus drain that keeps making me cough. I hate it. A lot. And when I lie down, it’s brutal. I had a great dinner with Steph tonight. She’s an ex-employee — the only one I’m actually friends with […]

Offensiveness And Videos Galore

Sometimes it’s fun to be offensive, especially if it means getting under the skin of someone without them even knowing why. This example pleases me greatly. Sometimes a post begs a reply and this one was no exception. My reply was especially pithy with double meaning inside. I never imagined how quick the bait would […]

Pachelbel Canon in D by Funtwo

January 15, 2007 / by Eric / 0 Comments

NY Times Article (3 pages) on the amazing FunTwo video of him playing Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel. Below is a direct video link, but if you prefer to zip over to YouTube directly, here’s that link.

I will be honest, this sounds very much like the Trans-Siberian orchestra, but all research I did (Google) indicates this kid is for real. If you read the article, you’ll find that some guy arranged this music, and this Korean kid just blasted his guitar out. It’s impressive. You really ought to watch it. Turn up the volume.
