Time to Relax: End of Term Youtube Extravaganza


That's it until we are back! Enjoy these latest clips as we go to vacation.
 
1.    People are awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6XUVjK9W4o
A series of clips of people doing truly amazing things.

2.      Red Bull Rampage 2012 Highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbF6ZZqVMyk
The highlights froma form of biking I can only imagine about and could never do.

3.      Base jumping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf49cw0134U
No way, man, no way!

4.      Free solo Yosemite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leCAy1v1fnI
Again, no way, man, double no way!!

I am always intrigued by new musical instruments, and this is one of the more unusual ones.

6.      Terry Bozzio drum set: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV9WlgC5oWo
You have never in your life seen a drum set like this one. Terry Bozzio was one of Frank Zappa’s former drummers, and later led the band Missing Persons.

7.      Guillaume Perret & Electric Epic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_izDkL3aZo
A spin-off of my favorite band Magma, playing heavy electric jazz.

8.      Brian Ferhyhough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnlVlo2TVjQ
I guarantee you won’t make it through this clip but Fernyhough writes some of the most complicated and difficult to play modern classical music there is.

9.      Hayao Miyazaki: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKnKgK-uws4
My favortie director of animated movies, responsible for some of the greatest movies ever, including Spirited Away.

10.  Worry about yourself!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_9RHF8gdag
I love this little girl!
