Musically Amazing

So here's the question... If you had the musical talent and you were locked in your room for three months, what would you come up with? Ask Kutiman.

kutiman

Kutiman is an Israeli producer who took hundreds of Youtube videos, spliced and sampled them together for the ultimate funk, reggae, hiphop, jungle, techno, jazz, pop visual mash-up ever. Using different instruments and vocals from amatuers across youtube, he has created seven tracks. You can watch three of them below but please eventually visit the ThruYou site to hear/watch all seven tracks.

And the marketing? Well, he has no record label... This is all viral. The project was initiated by 3 people who emailed a total of 20 people, who then spread it through twitter, myspace and facebook. Just when technology or music seems like it's up against the wall, someone does something amazing.

96 Hours In New York

Hanging with Jadon, Ziana, Tiara and Dheaven was just the start of a good weekend in NY. In 96 hours I was able to

Eat a decent slice of Pizza
Hit the Westchester Mall to take care of overdue Mother's & Father's Day gifts
Catch friends, cousins, nieces and nephews that I haven't seen in an eternity
Eat a beef patty from Royal Caribbean Bakery
Sleep in, twice
Catch Evan Almighty (not bad) with my sister
Eat real Chinese food (Chinese food in Atlanta sucks)
Get schooled on MatMice by Tiara

I think I gained five pounds!!
