Blog: Favorite YouTube Videos (Volume 10)

Welcome to the 10th volume of my favorite YouTube videos. This volume is another music episode and will be an introduction to the coolest band you'll meet on YouTube.
  • The first video is from OK Go, whom you may know from their treadmills.  This video involves one of my favorite things on earth Rube Goldberg machines. This is a pretty incredible video and as with some of the ones last week keeps surprising you with more and more cool things.

  • The next three videos are by the group Pomplamoose. These early videos are "Video Songs" which have two rules (from the video description)
    1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
    2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
Their early music was a mix of covers and original music. I have really enjoyed their covers, and I find when I hear the original versions of Telephone or Single Ladies I think of them as the dance covers. If You Think You Need Some Loving is also an amazing example of Natalie's cool and Jack's exuberance. I hope you enjoy them because there will be a lot more from them in the future.


  • The final video in this volume is from Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. I don't think I've heard a track of their's that I haven't loved and the only reason this is the first video to show up in this project is that I upgraded a bunch of my earlier favorites to their better quality versions and so those videos are further down the favorites list for now.
