Honestly, I didn’t even know which one of their videos to post. Jack Conte, Stanford guy who cut his musical teeth with many of my dear friends, has evolved into an absolutely spectacular musician. Amazing work! Other notables include Single Ladies, Telephone, and Beat It. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

One of the oddest pairings ever. I find this song so satisfying, though.

I said out loud, when I heard it. “Wow. Jimmie Dale Gilmore? Get outta town.”

Like Disney movies, I usually think mash-ups are the easy way out. And like Disney movies, I nearly always find them enjoyable. This one especially so.

My goodness.Janelle Monáe (feat. Big Boi from Outkast) in “Tight Rope”. My goodness, again.
Spaced out and forgot I had switched from Pandora to Hype Machine. About halfway through a Marvin Gaye song I thought, “wow this sure isn’t opera”

Awesome
