Australian musician Gotye is now just somebody that we used to know. But back in the early 2010s, he was one of the biggest music stars in the world thanks to the hit single “Somebody That I Used to Know”. Now, more than a decade later, Dutch dance troupe CDK Company is bringing both Gotye and the track to relevance.

CDK Company recently shared dance choreography for “Somebody That I Used to Know”, which has left internet users stunned. Their video, which quickly went viral, sees the dancers in retro clothes coordinate their moves perfectly with the song’s tunes while delivering impressive solo and group sequences. Additionally, the camera work and the overall visual style of the video provide an extra touch to make it a captivating watch.

Internet users rushed to the comments section to praise the video. One user said it “deserves an Oscar for world’s best choreography!” While another wrote that the whole thing looks “like if Wes Anderson was a dance choreographer.”

Upon its release in 2011, “Somebody That I Used to Know,” which featured a guest appearance from New Zealand singer Kimbra, topped the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom, among other countries. It was also the best-selling single in 2012.

Since releasing “Somebody That I Used to Know”, Gotye has mostly been out of the spotlight. He released two non-album singles, with the most recent one coming in 2013.

Self-distancing is proving to be a huge struggle for many people, and our favorite musicians are aware of how tough isolation can get during these testing times. That’s why they decided to bring some joy into our lives with a series of mini-concerts they’re performing live on social media.

Coldplay’s Chris Martin kicked off this virtual concert series called Together at Home: Global Citizen Solidarity Sessions in collaboration with the World Health Organization and Global Citizen in an attempt to unite people and give them something to get excited about while in isolation.

John Legend took part in this project right after Martin and even announced he’s working on a new album during his session. Both artists performed 30 minutes-long sets, consisting of their biggest hits and a variety of other songs requested by fans.

Legend also invited Miguel and Charlie Puth to join the fun, and we’re looking forward to seeing this new internet challenge go viral. Together at Home sessions are just the kind of thing we needed right now, especially with so many concert tours being canceled in the last few weeks.

Florian Popescu is a huge Pink Floyd fan. Although he discovered them recently, he became addicted to their music and spent his days enjoying their albums. However, when his school finals came along, he made the decision to involve his favorite music band into his project.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6cxGyjBRJE/

“I came up with an identity for an anniversary edition of 50 years for my favorite music band, Pink Floyd, and a cohesive system used across 8 vinyl albums,” Popescu shared on Bored Panda. “Each album cover design features pen and ink illustrations drawn in my style, with original concepts for every LP”.

The Timisoara, Romania-based student creates other projects as well, like for example book illustrations, album covers, packaging designs, logo designs, posters, cards, etc.

“Mainly, I work traditionally in pen and ink on paper because I love the feeling of authenticity and craftsmanship a hand-drawn illustration can convey,” he added. “I draw inspiration from a variety of vintage sources and old illustrations with a high level of detail, often liking to add some retro effects to my work.”

Scroll down and check out the album covers or have a look at his Instagram account for more.

Senior Song Book is a masterpiece created by two friends who “just wanted to have fun.” 102-year-old lyricist Alan R. Tripp and the 88-year-old jazz pianist Marvin Weisbord came up with this remarkable album that contains eight songs and two remixes.

“So we’re writing songs that are recognizable, in genres that are recognizable, with lyrics telling stories about what our lives are like now,” Wisbord told Hannah Batanson of the Washington Post.

According to Tripp, who lives in a retirement community in Pennsylvania with his pals, they have never intended to gain profit, they just wanted to have fun.

“The synergism between us is very simple. We admire the same people, the same songwriters, but at the same time we are us, and the fact that we get along together so well is a miracle.”

If you want to hear their songs, check out Senior Song Book on CDBaby.com, and if you like it you can purchase it for $9,99.

What’s better than a dog? A dog playing a musical instrument. Introducing: Acoustic Trench – a musical duo consisting of Trench, a musician, and his dog Maple. A multi-instrumentalist, Trench can play the guitar, harp, cello, and a dozen other instruments, while Maple tags along, sometimes “playing” the drums, other times intently listening.

The results are viral videos of a dog and a talented musician. And yes, it’s as good as it sounds. The two cover popular songs and hits (including some of our favorite rock and roll tunes) and have a huge catalog of music videos that they post on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

In some of their more recent videos, you can also spot another member of the family: a rescue pup named Cherry. “She’s very shy & timid as she had a tough life before adoption but with lots of love and patience she’s learning to trust again and she has become very attached to Maple,” Trench wrote on his Twitter page. “She’s tiny and sweet, she’s Cherry.”

You can support this musical duo on Patreon, where you’ll also be able to download mp3s of all of their music. Here are some of our favorite covers by them:

Ramen Guitar!) вот и пришла пора выложить немножко «промо фоток» моего секретного проекта) 🍜 . Дошикастер!! 36 упаковок доширака, 5 литров полиэфирной смолы, кусок клёна и немного фурнитуры образуют красивейшую гитару, похожую на кусок стекла! Что из этого вышло- смотрите в видоса, ссылка в шапке профиля Instagram! 🤘 . В действительности это был просто чумовой экспириенс для меня! Не каждый день делаешь такие Вещи! Но ещё за одну такую взялся бы навряд ли, так что пускай эта гитара останется уникальной и единственной в мире 🙂 хотя, я бы не назвал то что получилось гитарой….нет! Она звучит, причём весьма неплохо) но, скорее, это ART объект. 🖼 . А самое главное – этот проект очень хорошо показывает что вот в плане ремонта мы можем Абсолютно всё 😁 раз уж такую «дичь запилили» 😁 и прям по красоте!) так что если вам надо поменять лады, склеить голову и так далее и так далее- Вы знаете где нас найти, друзья ✌ . В видео мы сыграли песню John Mayer- NEON, и мы верим, что однажды сам John увидит и оценит это творение- это будет супер мега круто! 🤘 (p.s. ты знаком с Джоном?

Since modern times have come and rock ‘n’ roll music has given rise to the popularity of guitars, these instruments have seen unbelievable changes, especially the electric ones which are a subject of experimentation with their visual appearance.  

This guy from the Russian studio Copper Guitars took it to the next level. He created a guitar he calls “The Noodle-caster” because it’s made out of 36 packages of instant noodles, combined with 5 liters of resin and wood. He cut it out into a shape of a guitar, and voila – the almost-edible Stratocaster has been made! He made the tastiest guitar ever, and when you see it, we guarantee you’ll drool for some spicy noodles. 

Copper Guitars’ Instagram page is where you can check out this guy’s other works, but we think that this “noodle-caster” is his number one art piece! 

Scroll down to see what the guitar looks like, and play the YouTube video to follow up with the process of making this hilarious and innovative instrument!

One problem musicians often face is how to reproduce live songs recorded in the studio. This is especially problematic when the studio version makes use of additional instruments that band members don’t necessarily play and when there are just too many instruments added.

Ukranian Band Brunettes Shoot Blondes came up with an ingenious solution. They were looking for a way to play their song “Houston” live, but the song was originally recorded with the backing of a full orchestra!

Amazingly enough, the band’s solution was to create an entirely new instrument… which allows them to become an orchestra all by themselves. They took a grand piano, hollowed it out, and filled it up with a bunch of instruments: Violins, cello, tambourine, xylophone, castanets, and even a drum set. All in all, they fitted 20 different instruments into the piano, while still keeping some of the original keys.

The result is a masterpiece of creative engineering, and it sounds like pure magic. Of course, they could just play a simple synthesizer, but it wouldn’t quite have the same sound, and just as importantly, wouldn’t look half as cool.

Give “Houston” a listen below, and check out that piano!

Let’s be honest: how many times have you binged Friends on Netflix in the past few years? That’s not going to be possible soon since the show will move to another streaming platform. One musician wanted to pay tribute to the show by turning its famous theme song into a ‘90-style heavy metal ballad.

His name is Chase Holfelder and he has over half a million Youtube subscribers. “I’m the guy who creates minor key covers of major key songs. Taylor Swift once tweeted about me. Please subscribe,” he writes in the about section of his Youtube channel.

“In light of the terrible news that Friends will soon be leaving Netflix, I made a sad, minor-key version of the theme song,” Holfelder wrote next to the video.

Since its release in March, Billie Eilish’s hit song “Bad Guy” has seen numerous covers from musicians all over the world. Some of those covers were good, some bad, but one from YouTuber Kirk Connor definitely rose above them all.

Connor, known as Funk Turkey on YouTube, recently uploaded a hilarious parody of “bad guy” inspired by fatherhood, which he fittingly called “Dad Guy.” His rendition of the song includes lyrics about feeding his kids, cleaning after them, and how it’s like to live a “dad life.”

“Dad Guy” quickly went viral with social users loving its humor and catchiness. It also gave Connor, who claims he wrote the lyrics in five minutes, a lot of media attention, and he already made several television appearances.

“The reason why I made this was out of the pure silliness of being a parent.” – said Connor during his appearance on Today Extra. “My wife and I text dad jokes back and forth to each other, and we started poking fun at the song… It took a life of its own.”

Check out Connor’s funny but totally relatable parody “bad guy” below.

Here’s something we never thought we’d find: a musician and collage artist inspired by tropicalia. Based in Cleveland, visual artist and musician Ted Feighan incorporates into his work themes like travel, exotic plants, animals, and vintage interior design.

“I’ve been very into indoor plants lately,” he told the Urban Outfitters blog. For a long time, I had been focusing on flowers and blooms when looking for images but recently I’ve been inspired by the green foliage plants.”

“I started making paper collage work when I began taking art classes in college,” he explained. “But before that I had been doing a lot of digital collage in high school, mostly for band merch.”

Apart from his creative ventures he also has an artistic day-job, running a lifestyle brand, Valley Cruise Press, that creates art-focused accessories, apparel, and home goods. Talking about his hectic schedule, he shared: “on a normal day, I’ll get into the studio, answer some emails and start digging into some old books. I usually have 5-10 projects going at once so I’m always sourcing a lot of imagery.”

His music project, Monster Rally, blends together exotica with tropicalia and hip hop. Which, if you think about it, sounds exactly like his collage art. Take a look for yourself.

Ramen Guitar!) вот и пришла пора выложить немножко «промо фоток» моего секретного проекта) 🍜 . Дошикастер!! 36 упаковок доширака, 5 литров полиэфирной смолы, кусок клёна и немного фурнитуры образуют красивейшую гитару, похожую на кусок стекла! Что из этого вышло- смотрите в видоса, ссылка в шапке профиля Instagram! 🤘 . В действительности это был просто чумовой экспириенс для меня! Не каждый день делаешь такие Вещи! Но ещё за одну такую взялся бы навряд ли, так что пускай эта гитара останется уникальной и единственной в мире 🙂 хотя, я бы не назвал то что получилось гитарой….нет! Она звучит, причём весьма неплохо) но, скорее, это ART объект. 🖼 . А самое главное – этот проект очень хорошо показывает что вот в плане ремонта мы можем Абсолютно всё 😁 раз уж такую «дичь запилили» 😁 и прям по красоте!) так что если вам надо поменять лады, склеить голову и так далее и так далее- Вы знаете где нас найти, друзья ✌ . В видео мы сыграли песню John Mayer- NEON, и мы верим, что однажды сам John увидит и оценит это творение- это будет супер мега круто! 🤘 (p.s. ты знаком с Джоном? Скинь ему ссылочку) #гитара #ramen #ramenguitar #дошикастер #доширак #дошик #лапша #макароны #copperguitars #artmayer #ремонтгитар #заменаладов #сделатьгитару #гитарист #музыка

Since modern times have come and rock ‘n’ roll music has given rise to the popularity of guitars, these instruments have seen unbelievable changes, especially the electric ones which are a subject of experimentation with their visual appearance.  

This guy from the Russian studio Copper Guitars took it to the next level. He created a guitar he calls “The Noodle-caster” because it’s made out of 36 packages of instant noodles, combined with 5 liters of resin and wood. He cut it out into a shape of a guitar, and voila – the almost-edible Stratocaster has been made! He made the tastiest guitar ever, and when you see it, we guarantee you’ll drool for some spicy noodles. 

Copper Guitars’ Instagram page is where you can check out this guy’s other works, but we think that this “noodle-caster” is his number one art piece! 

Scroll down to see what the guitar looks like, and play the YouTube video to follow up with the process of making this hilarious and innovative instrument!

One problem musicians often face is how to reproduce live songs recorded in the studio. This is especially problematic when the studio version makes use of additional instruments that band members don’t necessarily play and when there are just too many instruments added.

Ukranian Band Brunettes Shoot Blondes came up with an ingenious solution. They were looking for a way to play their song “Houston” live, but the song was originally recorded with the backing of a full orchestra!

Amazingly enough, the band’s solution was to create an entirely new instrument… which allows them to become an orchestra all by themselves. They took a grand piano, hollowed it out, and filled it up with a bunch of instruments: Violins, cello, tambourine, xylophone, castanets, and even a drum set. All in all, they fitted 20 different instruments into the piano, while still keeping some of the original keys.

The result is a masterpiece of creative engineering, and it sounds like pure magic. Of course, they could just play a simple synthesizer, but it wouldn’t quite have the same sound, and just as importantly, wouldn’t look half as cool.

Give “Houston” a listen below, and check out that piano!

Let’s be honest: how many times have you binged Friends on Netflix in the past few years? That’s not going to be possible soon since the show will move to another streaming platform. One musician wanted to pay tribute to the show by turning its famous theme song into a ‘90-style heavy metal ballad.

His name is Chase Holfelder and he has over half a million Youtube subscribers. “I’m the guy who creates minor key covers of major key songs. Taylor Swift once tweeted about me. Please subscribe,” he writes in the about section of his Youtube channel.

“In light of the terrible news that Friends will soon be leaving Netflix, I made a sad, minor-key version of the theme song,” Holfelder wrote next to the video.

Click play below to hear a sad homage to the legendary song I’ll Be There For You.

Since its release in March, Billie Eilish’s hit song “Bad Guy” has seen numerous covers from musicians all over the world. Some of those covers were good, some bad, but one from YouTuber Kirk Connor definitely rose above them all.

Connor, known as Funk Turkey on YouTube, recently uploaded a hilarious parody of “bad guy” inspired by fatherhood, which he fittingly called “Dad Guy.” His rendition of the song includes lyrics about feeding his kids, cleaning after them, and how it’s like to live a “dad life.”

“Dad Guy” quickly went viral with social users loving its humor and catchiness. It also gave Connor, who claims he wrote the lyrics in five minutes, a lot of media attention, and he already made several television appearances.

“The reason why I made this was out of the pure silliness of being a parent.” – said Connor during his appearance on Today Extra. “My wife and I text dad jokes back and forth to each other, and we started poking fun at the song… It took a life of its own.”

Check out Connor’s funny but totally relatable parody “bad guy” below.

Here’s something we never thought we’d find: a musician and collage artist inspired by tropicalia. Based in Cleveland, visual artist and musician Ted Feighan incorporates into his work themes like travel, exotic plants, animals, and vintage interior design.

“I’ve been very into indoor plants lately,” he told the Urban Outfitters blog. For a long time, I had been focusing on flowers and blooms when looking for images but recently I’ve been inspired by the green foliage plants.”

“I started making paper collage work when I began taking art classes in college,” he explained. “But before that I had been doing a lot of digital collage in high school, mostly for band merch.”

Apart from his creative ventures he also has an artistic day-job, running a lifestyle brand, Valley Cruise Press, that creates art-focused accessories, apparel, and home goods. Talking about his hectic schedule, he shared: “on a normal day, I’ll get into the studio, answer some emails and start digging into some old books. I usually have 5-10 projects going at once so I’m always sourcing a lot of imagery.”

His music project, Monster Rally, blends together exotica with tropicalia and hip hop. Which, if you think about it, sounds exactly like his collage art. Take a look for yourself.
