Radiohead's unused James Bond 'Spectre' theme | Crazy Band

Dave Grohl drum-off versus Animal | Crazy Musicians

Ambition | Crazy Filmsters

This is an impressive science fiction short film, with great effects, produced through a collaboration between Platige Image the European Space Agency to promote Rosetta. It stars Aidan Gillen (of game of Thrones) and Aisling Franciosi. The theme explores the ambition that turns science fiction into science fact.



The amusing part is that the "making of" video is longer than the film itself.

The Icicle Works "Birds Fly (A Whisper to a Scream)" | Crazy Band

Jimi Hendrix covers The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

There are a log of great moments here, but I think my three favourite moments of this video are (1) when Jimi drags on his cigarette before starting to play and then throws it to the stage floor, (2) Jimi plays with only his right hand on the frets while he gets a guitar pick from a stagehand, and (3) at the beginning Jimi is telling the audience to protect their ears.

29 Celebrity Impressions, One Original Song | Crazy Musician

This could have gone terribly, terribly wrong, but is terribly, terribly entertaining and well done. Musician Rob Cantor (vocals/voices, with the help of several others, as this is a music video and not a live performance) performs an original song in the voices of 29 celebrities. What I particularly love is that the theme of the song actually ties in with the use of all the voices, instead of being a simple gag or shtick: you're perfect in the way that you are.



And before anybody screams foul that it's fake and this dude isn't actually singing all those voices: yep, you're right. It's a music video. It's to promote a music album called Not a Trampoline. Remember when Michael Stipe and REM blew the socks off the music video world by not singing (lip syncing) a line in "Losing My Religion"? Same sorta thing: it's to entertain.

Check out the "making of" video, it's pretty interesting in its own right:

2Cellos cover AC/DC "Thunderstruck" | Crazy Musicians

If I have not posted this previously, I apologize. This is one of my favourite music videos, and groups, and if it wasn't posted it was because I've had it so long in my personal list, and watched it so many times, that I thought I'd already added it here.

This is from 2Cellos, a Croatian cello duo. [official] [wikipedia]

It appears I've posted their version of "Welcome to the Jungle", but not this. Despite the theatrics, I still think it's pretty cool.
