Talented children and animals

A few videos and and some news that could be either terrible or wonderful this week. First of all, lets get to a pair of rather talented if odd musicians. Firstly one of the most talented kids we’ve ever seen – and likely to never appear on X Factor, this five year old is an amazing drummer, performing the mean feat of drumming along to System of a Down’s Toxicity.

Now we’re not sure that this second performer is genuine or aware of their talent but it is funny. From the site that brought you Death Metal Puppy, we bring you Death Metal Rooster!

Finally, the news that Disney is remaking the Yellow Submarine fills us with a mixture of interest and trepidation. It could be brilliant or it could be awful. One piece of news that says it will be good is the casting of top funnyman Peter Serafinowicz as Paul MacCartney. He’s played The Beatles before as seen on this funny clip and this music video. Fingers crossed.

Fame, frame by frame

As befits the end of any year these days, everyone has to make lists and best ofs… not least because with much stuff to choose from, it helps us catch up of anything we missed. However there’s no reading in these summaries – firstly there is this very clever video mix of the year’s cleverest pop videos into an hour long mix. Even more condensed is DJ Earworm’s State of Pop 2009 that condenses the top 25 single in America into just five minutes.

Looking forward into 2010, here’s the first video of the year to take our fancy – and it’s not even finished yet – but that’s when you come in. Similar to the fan based Star Wars remake – where fans made 15 seconds of the film, Brooklyn artists, C-Mon & Kypski are asking fans to donate one from for there new video. They’re up to over 5000, but they still need some more to complete the project. Join up here.
