A bunch of Muppets
This is from Owngig’s Weekly Newsletter. To recieve this in your inbox, simply register on site now.
A combination of the silly and the chinstroking make up this week’s newsletter. First we bring you a right bunch of muppets… literally. The Muppets have been popular for over thirty years and have already attracted 3 million views with their unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Check it out here.
Also involving silly dancing and music is this rather quirky Japanese video featuring the Helicopter Boyz (I don’t know who they are either). Attaching small personal projectors to themselves as they dance makes for a rather interesting spectacle.
Finally, Owngig brings you a first in this newsletter, an academic paper. Before you all stop reading, this is the first academic paper I’ve ever seen that has 80s video games referenced. This paper on the history of chiptunes (computer music – particularly those in video games) is both fascinating and fun. Check it out here.
