“YouTube’s Backstory Reimagined as “The Social Network”” par Brenna Ehrmoch sur Mashable (August 4th, 2010)

Featuring Radiohead’s “Creep” sung by the Belgium girls choir Scala, the trailer of The Social Network (a.k.a. The Facebook Movie) was super dramatic, what with Zuckerberg and Co. crowing about stats and fighting over ownership. Well, this parody, courtesy of Sketch Comedy group Prussian Sunsets, takes all those elements and reimagines them as a film about YouTube founders Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim (Karim is missing from the parody, for some reason)

Les parodies sont les pépites de l’internet.

Because I Back-Traced It! (Remix)

C’est l’histoire de Jessi Slaughter mais ça aurait pu : être la bande son de l’Hadopi avec ce moustachu qui aboie :

you dun goofed
I know where it’s coming from because I backtraced it
you’ve been reported to the cyber police and the state police.
consequences will never be the same

Reprise de “Telephone” de Lady Gaga par The Morning Pages en version country-rock

La chanson de Gaga n’a rien d’extraordinaire et pourtant elle inspire plein de reprises et de détournements plus talentueux les uns que les autres. Et si c’était ça la mesure du vrai succès ?

Importante mise à jour de Spotify

L’histoire retiendra qu’il aura fallu attendre 2010 pour pouvoir partager en un clic ses listes de lecture avec ses amis. C’est la sérendipité qui va y gagner !

Axis Of Awesome - 4 Four Chord Song (with song titles)

Quatre accords suffisent pour créer un tube.

Sur Digg, ayexor précise :

This is a good point. Even though the songs were all in the same key here, the original songs were *not* all in the same key, so “the same chords” isn’t the right term - they used the same “progression”.

There are a very limited number of successful pop progressions. The one here is pretty much 1-major, 5-major, 6-minor, 4-major, and can be done in any key, starting on any chord. Understanding progressions is one of the first keys (sorry) to understanding how music “works”.
