Greetings.
I know I do not blog anywhere nearly enough, and so today I give you two worthy weird things.
The first is The Bowed Piano Ensemble, which specializes in playing a grand piano in ways which piano makers probably never intended and probably invalidate the warranty. They have a whole page of audio and video of their performances.
If that was not strange enough, the second is Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” covered by the Muppets.
I cannot possibly make something like this up, and I was surprised that the very serious Sam the Eagle had anything to do with this. (Maybe they were trying to outweird 2CELLOS.)
Enjoy, share the weirdness, and Shabbath Shalom.

Well, the Muppets did have to change some things in "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to make it more Muppetish. The 2CELLOS version, for comparison, is played completely straight and sounds vastly more like the original. (Actually, 2CELLOS's version sounds better than the original.)
