BACK TO NATURE Y'ALL!!

Classic Shooby. I wonder what goes through his head. I mean you've gotta have a screw loose but...he seems to know what he's doing so....ok??

I kind of prefer this to the original aswell

Literally mad

"The glass harmonica, also known as the glass armonica, bowl organ, hydrocrystalophone, or simply the armonica (derived from "harmonia," the Greek word for harmony), is a type of musical instrument that uses a series of glass bowls or goblets graduated in size to produce musical tones by means of friction" - Wikipedia

This instrument was popular in the early 18th century but not much past it apparently due to superstitious beliefs about people going mad from playing it. A German musicologist by the name of Friedrich Rochlitz noted

"The harmonica excessively stimulates the nerves, plunges the player into a nagging depression and hence into a dark and melancholy mood that is apt method for slow self-annihilation. If you are suffering from any nervous disorder, you should not play it; if you are not yet ill you should not play it; if you are feeling melancholy you should not play it."

Less superstitious theories attribute the the dangers of playing it to lead poisoning...who knows...

Sounds cool!

:(

What planet is this from? You might wonder. Well, the story behind this is actually pretty tragic...

Soeur Sourire or "The Singing Nun" in English, was a musically gifted um, Nun, who scored a hit with her song Dominique (here is what it actually sounds like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUzY-W2klT4&feature=related).

Now I think from what I've gathered from random sources (take it all with a pinch of salt) the story goes something like this...

After the success of her first record, she donated all of her earnings to her convent, but the convent never paid tax on all those earnings. The convent/her producer (don't know which source to trust), for some reason, forbid her to use the name Soeur Sourire or any translation of the name as they owned the rights. Eventually the Belgian government came knocking on her door claiming she owed a MINT in taxes. She countered with claiming she was not responsible for any of it as she had donated it all to her convent and therefore they were responsible for it, but alas she had no receipts to prove this.

Long story short, this techno version of her first hit was a last ditch attempt at trying earn money to repay her debt before commiting suicide at the age of 51.

Damn..

This guy is an absolute g. This is who I want to be when I grow up. This guy let his freak flag fly so high he literally lost control of it and just thought fuck it, i'll just go where it goes. It led him here.

Nature!

Let's Get Cool...

A friend of mine introduced me to this fellow the other day. I don't quite know what to think of it, but what I am certain of is that he knows exactly what he is doing.
