A robot jamming with a violin player. And no, of course it doesn't sound good - but it's entertaining

Every week, we, the MusicRadar team, submit our own personal favourite music videos and clips on the net. Some clips we really like, others are simply comedy classics or oddly intriguing. But all are worth watching…

Joe Bosso's choice

Vinnie Colaiuta and friends
"Joe is away this week, but I'm sure he'd dig this Vinnie Colaiuta clip – I certainly do. The groove at 1:33 is particularly dig-worthy." CW (for JB)

Mike Goldsmith's choices

Introduction to Dubstep
"With Burial finally being unmasked, the question is – will dubstep go mainstream? Unlikely given Burial and fellow dubstep visionaries Skull Disco are closer to On U-Sound than, say, Benga but a good round-up for newcomers is this 2006 documentary from the BBC's late lamented Collective site. Like what you hear? We recommend Martyn, 2562 plus pretty much any recent twelve on Soul Jazz. Alternatively, a snout about the clips at Boomkat will always see you right." MG

Madvillain: All Caps
"Despite being a teensy bit put out that we're not listening to those oft-promised new MF Doom tunes, we thought we'd celebrate Stones Throw re-releasing Madvilliany by linking to the album's standout tune. Ah, sweet Madlib. Those looking for other treats should try this homemade Mexican wrestling video 'taken' from Doom and Dangermouse's DangerDoom album – go Santo go!" MG

Craig Hitchings' choices

GuitarBot Vs. Violin
"A weird one featuring a GuitarBot (or Robot Guitar) playing with Japanese violinist, Mari Kimura. The GuitarBot is actually listening to Kimura's instrument via Max/MSP, with certain commands being executed depending on the volume and pitch. But, enough explanations. I'll let you guys figure out what the hell is going on." CH

The ReacTable In Action
"The amazing Bjork with the equally amazing ReacTable. There's only two of these puppies in the world, one at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona and the other with Bjork for her Volta world tour. Unfortunately, Jools Holland pops up at the end of the clip but I'm sure you'll be able to find the stop button in time. Enjoy." CH
