I never imagined…
…that one day I’d live in the town where this awesome video was filmed:
Here’s the history of this observation:
1. Today is Jan’s birthday.
2. One of his birthday presents is a melodica.
3. I said, “Hey, the Hooters used one of those!”
4. He said, “The who?”*
5. I go to YouTube and show him this video.
6. At the beginning of the video, we see a sign for the Exton Drive-In.
7. “Is that OUR Exton?” we wonder. Could be, since the Hooters were a Philadelphia band.
8. After the video—and after I’ve recovered from the visual onslaught of ’80s hair—I google “exton drive in hooters” and pray I don’t get hits for restaurants with scantily clad waitstaff.
9. The first hit is for this site. Awesome.
* I like to joke that he was in a coma during the 1980s. Seriously, he pretty much avoided popular culture during that decade, preferring instead to play and listen to music from the 1960s and 1970s.

Today’s earwig: Genki Sudo
Genki Sudo is a pretty interesting person. From martial-arts champion to musician and choreographer—not many people can claim that sort of career trajectory.
This song has been stuck in my head for weeks, ever since I first heard/saw this video. The choreography is pretty freakin’ awesome. The only thing that could improve it is a flying triangle or two.

Today’s earwig: AFP
Amanda Palmer describes this as “a song about Pubix Hair Freedom sung by a crazy chick with a ukulele.” Yeah, that pretty much describes it.
No nudity, but lots of merkins. So possibly NSFW, depending on how your employer and coworkers feel about that sort of thing.

Dancing in the rain
Amazing stuff here–so fluid. Like watching water in motion.

I can’t believe they managed to keep straight faces through the whole thing.
Interestingly, this piece was originally written in 1825.You know what would have made this particular performance even better? If the pianist had been one of the piano-playing cats from YouTube. Oh, yeah…

Double rainbow ATW. Awesomesauce.
