Music Video Jam

Nivek Ogre sings “The Choke” live at a Skinny Puppy performance at the Doomsday festival in Germany in 2000. That song is almost 27 years old!

Two times UK Beatbox champion, Beardyman does a live performance at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, 2009. It’s not really a music video, but this guy is just too good to pass up. Hilarious too. Yes, all sounds are made using only his mouth. It’s a full show, almost an hour long. If you like that, see the classic “Cooking With Beardyman” in the full post.

This is the live rendition of “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul” by Gnarls Barkley at Abbey Road. The other music video of this song is a joke. (Guy cut’s his own heart out, which then sings and dances on the table.) Like Cee-Lo says in the commentary introduction to this clip, “..it’s immortalized, …so that’s the importance of getting it right.” This may not be a big budget music video, but at least it’s not a distracting joke that undermines what is essentially a classy blues song. Get it on

With JFB on turntables and Will Clark on the drums, the two appear to be “playing” holographic projections of the head of the famous beat-box artist, Beardyman. In the video intro they claim, “The following was performed live. No post production has taken place. What you see is what the audience saw.” It’s a little hard to believe as holographic technology is still pretty much sci-fi. I think they are just messing with people. Either way, it’s a neat project and a cool little video.
