A robot jamming with a violin player. And no, of course it doesn't sound good - but it's entertaining
DJ Spock
"A rib-tickling video remix featuring everyone's favourite Vulcan getting his scratch on. The presence of some slap bass only makes things better. Via Synthtopia." BR
Stevie Wonder revisits his past
"Stevie Wonder re-recording Sir Duke for the Classic Albums TV documentary that covered Songs In The Key Of Life. It really doesn't get much better than this." BR
AC/DC's Angus and Malcolm Young jam onstage with The Rolling Stones
"Have you ever wondered what Angus looks like without the school uniform? No? In that case, have you ever wondered how silly a very short man looks playing a Gibson ES-355?" CV
Roy Buchanan performing The Messiah Will Come Again
"The late, great and all-too-often overlooked Telecaster blues maestro was a huge influence on so many. Find out why…" CV
Gentle Giant – Two Weeks In Spain live
"Gentle Giant: what a fantastic band they were. Despite parading under the guise of a '70s experimental prog rock band dressed as a pub darts team, their music is infuriating infectious – Two Weeks In Spain is a prime example. Catchiness aside though, they were, most definitely, a prog band. The keyboard player has seven keyboards (yep, seven), and drummer looks suspiciously like John McCririck. And it doesn't get much more prog than that." CW
Pat Metheny plays The Way Up - Live
"Ben's Pat Metheny choice in my absence last week inspired me to search for real Metheny clips – and I found a good 'un. I imagine that when Pat first played his 2005 epic The Way Up to his mates, they said 'I bet you can't play that live'. Silly mistake to make – he can, very well." CW
We reported yesterday that iTunes is still the most popular music seller state-side - so does this mean legal downloads are on the up? Perhaps these new, harder-hitting anti-piracy adverts are working.
