Radiohead / Chopin Matchup
If there’s anyone out there who still thinks the golden age of the internet has yet to begin, check out this YouTube video:
Basically, you’ve got the music of one of the most brilliant composers in the history of the world, matched up with a song from what may be the most exciting and innovative band of the last 100 years–performed by a virtually unknown independent artist with what I can only label as crystal clear musical vision…and it’s all 100% free.
I can’t tell you how thrilling it is for me to see artists taking back their voice (literally and figuratively) and creative control.
After years of having our entertainment spoon-fed to us by marketing gurus that are more interested in profit than art, we have a medium where genius is finally being recognized and celebrated again.
VIVA LA YOUTUBE!
