This is the AK-47 that guitar maker Jimmy DiResta turned into a fully functional guitar for Wycleaf Jean. It carries a powerful message. One about...Haiti? Okay so maybe I don't know what the message is, or if there even is one. Not everything has to make some sort of socia... / Continue →

This is the 'Cobra' iPhone 4 and 5 speaker booster made by Vinnie Veen (although it may be a take on the trumpet iPhone speakers made by Christopher Lock of HeartlessMachine. I don't know -- sometimes people come up with the same idea without it necessarily being ripped off. ... / Continue →

Tom Bingham makes custom electric guitars out of the Star Wars spaceship toys he buys at car boot (trunk) sales (aka stolen goods sales). That's cool, but not near as ICE COLD as the ice cream bar I'm eating right now. It's strawberry -- you jealous? No? What if I told you ... / Continue →

Because season three premiered last night and my roommate had a viewing party where a bunch of his jerkbag friends came over and completely disregarded how I'd carefully Sharpied my name on all my food in the refrigerator, this is a video of violinist Jason Yang one-man coverin... / Continue →

This is a video of Mark Kroos playing both parts of 'Dueling Banjos' (made famous in Deliverance) on a double necked guitar. It starts off slow (because the song starts off slow), but by the end he's wailing on both of those things with separate hands. My brain would never le... / Continue →

This is a video of the ROLI Seaboard, a new mushy-keyed keyboard that allows you to control more of the output than you could on a traditional keyboard thanks to pressure-sensitive keys. I'm not even going to pretend like I understand any of this because if there's two things ... / Continue →

This is a video of Scott Martin (who receives two bonus points for the 'To Victory!' Dalek poster behind him) playing the bagpipes he and buddy Todd Medema made out of nothing but PVC, duct tape, and a plastic shopping bag. *eying Christmas tree* Apparently they were just ter... / Continue →

That wasn't metal -- see what I did there? Because metal is what robots are usually made out of but it's also a genre of music. I'm a smart cookie. "You are a dumb biscuit." Hey -- sticks and stones may break my bones but *WHACK!* now both your legs are broken. This is a... / Continue →

This is a video of violinist Lindsey Stirling (of Zelda, Lord of the Rings and Skyrim themes fame) performing a cover of the Game of Thrones theme. Like the rest of her stuff, the production value of the video is ridiculous and she plays in her usual -- what's the nice way to ... / Continue →
