Mother of All Funk Chords



Ok, I know this video from Kutiman is blowing up everywhere...but I feel obligated to post it here. I first saw this over at the listenerd (my favorite blog at the moment). This is probably the best YouTube video I've ever seen. It's easily the best video mashup I've seen. As one YouTube commenter put it: "Watching this makes me happy in about 5 different ways."

This is art. Arguably the finest masterpiece in a newly emerging art form.

More amazing examples of where the future of music and technology are heading can be found at ThruYou.
