From [livejournal.com profile] dreda, a Bobby McFerrin performance "that includes both parts of the Gounod Ave Maria, relying on his audience to know more than is usually asked of them". Oh my. I love him, and this gave me shivers.

From [livejournal.com profile] ukelele, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which is possibly the best title ever.

From [livejournal.com profile] regyt, "disturbingly erotic" toothpaste-on-toothbrush action.

I would pay more to see a time travel movie in which zombies go back and eat Jane Austin some time before she got the idea to start writing.

[livejournal.com profile] keyne passed me that Bobby McFerrin piece. I love this description -- it is just perfect. :-)

There is a related link from that video to a piece of Bobby McFerrin and Yo Yo Ma playing "Hush Little Baby" which is also out of this world, but in a totally different way.

With Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer, no less! If you like that version of "Hush Little Baby", look up their work. In addition to their amazing solo performances, they're members of the newgrass supergroup Strength in Numbers, which is basically Béla Fleck and his buddies having a damn good time. Fabulous stuff.

As far as I know, their only album is The Telluride Sessions. It's worth buying.

I bought it as soon as I finished listening to the song you linked to. :)
