Comfortably Numb Solo Cover

Comfortably Numb Solo Cover

We’ve featured 15-year-old electric guitar prodigy Tina S. shredding licks before, but this rendition of the solo from Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb is downright brilliant. If we had a band, we’d want Tina as our lead guitarist.

Hip Hop Hooray: Muppet Style

Hip Hop Hooray: Muppet Style

Editor Mylo the Cat did a brilliant job chopping up scenes of Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear and Beaker so it looks like they’re singing Naughty by Nature’s 1993 hip-hop-pop juggernaut, Hip Hop Hooray.

This Is My Product

This Is My Product

Breaking Bad may be over, and we still have to wait for Better Call Saul. For now, Matthijs Vlot’s angry rap track, compiled from clips from the show will have to tide us over. And if you’re feeling like something a bit more upbeat

Every Breath You Take (Minor Key)

For his White Room Project, DJ and sound designer Sonny Blake decided to create a track using only the sounds captured while assembling a BMX bike. The sounds were manipulated with numerous effects, but it’s still a cool concept.
