The Silly Side Of Music
Tim Minchin says "This is a silly song. I stopped doing it for a while because it was so silly, but people insist on me having it in the show. There are three kinds of people. The musos who love it and think it's really funny. The everyday kind of people who get it and find it amusing... Then there are those that don't notice there's anything wrong."

Stairway to a Heavenly Allstar Band
Check out Mary J Blige, Steve Vai, Orianthi, Randy Jackson and Travis Barker playing one of the all time great rock songs 'Stairway To Heaven'.
What's cool is how they blend the behind the scenes shots and interviews in with the song. A great classic done justice without being to safe or vearing to far from the original.

Piano Guitar
Ive seen some all tapping guitar playing before but London guy Stefan Joubert takes the cakes for elevating things to a whole new level. Its no wonder many people call this style of playing 'piano guitar'.

Steve Vai - Make Your Jams 'Interactive'
I see far to many players who dont get what it is to 'jam'. This is unfortunate because its one of the most enjoyable part of playing the guitar.
What I love about this video that it very literally shows you what an enjoyable thing it is to 'interact' with other players. You dont have to go to the extent of what you see at 4:50mins, the point Im making is to listen to what your mate is playing and interact. Treat you jam as a conversation and your jams will be more enjoyable than you ever thought possible.

TV Show Medley From Hell
I always appreciate a cover with a twist and even more so when its a medley.
Freddie has done a great job putting this mammoth medley together, no stops, smooth transitions and awesome vocal harmonies to top it all off.
Oh and lets not forget, some great tv themes!

More Than Just A Webcam Shredder
Its been over a year since I watched a MattRach video on youtube and I'm glad to say he's come a long way. I sensed that there was a spark of something a little more special than most youtube bedroom shredders but it was just yet to be realised.
Since his old webcam guitar vids things have really started to take shape. This video is still very lofi but that's also its strength, this clip wants to be messy.
As for the music those little spark of something special have materialised into solid song writing somewhere between Tom Morello's RATM riffery and MUSE style end of the world layered harmonies. Production is great and to my surprise the whole thing holds together really well. I look forward to seeing where things go for MattRach in the coming years.

Robot Band - 'The Trons'
Ive seen a few dodgy looking robotically played musical instruments but this blows them out of the water, this is a whole band, 'the Trons' Damn nice job for a bunch of New Zealand lads!
The only let down is the song is well, pretty lame. Bring on some classic rock... Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Metallica?
