Doesn’t this totally remind you of the rap battle from 8 Mile? No?

The amazing beatboxer Kid Beyond (who I first heard at w00tstock back in the fall) did a damn good job going up against Jonathan Coulton and his ZenDrum, but in the end I’ve gotta give it to JoCo. I’m a sucker for Beyoncé.

The rest of the show, by the way, was also great. Although, Paul and Storm let me down a little, with only a 12 minute long version of The Captain’s Wife’s Lament. DEJECTED ARRR!!!

Yup, this is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Also, that ranger has some nice dual-wielding skills! I’m looking forward to seeing what other nerdy songs Vacant Manifesto have up their wizard sleeves.

Have you seen the new show Glee? Not only is it amazing, but there’s great music in it too (if you’re into hearing teenagers singing well-known rock and show tunes). But this post from Best Week Ever (via BuzzFeed) totally made my day:

That’s right, a choir singing “Don’t Stop Believin’”. Love it. The kids from PS22 have also covered two of my other favorite songs: “Landslide” and “Eye of the Tiger”! I wish we were allowed to sing songs like that when I was in choir.

And make sure to watch the pilot episode for Glee on Hulu!

Last night I went to the Ben Harper and Relentless7 show at The Fillmore. Here’s my crappy video of their awesome cover of Queen’s Under Pressure:

The show was really great – as previously mentioned I’m not a big concert-goer these days, but I had a blast. Although, today my head feels like a blast went off inside of it (lightweight).

Anyhow, thanks to Jordan for the invite to the show! Their new album White Lies for Dark Times came out this month, so check it out.
