1 Girl 1 Cup: You’re Gonna Miss Me

I could never play drums and sing at the same time. I sure as hell couldn’t “play” a cup and sing a cover like this, either. Most impressive. See more by tay9andahalf (via MeFi). Maybe she’s the hands behind the trippy CHOP CUP video?

Gorgeous: Watch Disney “Bloom” Remix by Pogo

Dreamy. From the same musical meister who created “Upular” entirely from Pixar Up samples, Nick Bertke AKA Pogo. Bloom has the same hypnotic effect, too. Made more beautiful by the emotive and timelessly sweet Disney princesses. And that guy’s moustache. (via)

SPEAKING OF BLOOM …

It’s the 20th anniversary of Nirvana‘s Nevermind. Here’s a terrific and lesser-known cover by fellow Wilmette, IL -ian, Jonny Polonsky:
