Hey, did you hear? YouTube got a redesign and from what I’ve read, the only visible difference to the uninitiated is that it’s “more grey.” I’ve been scouring the site all day, and it seems that reports are correct–it is greyer. And more funny. Did you improve your content YouTube? I found a trillion videos that made me giggle today.
But how to choose just one? I went with my gut (literally), with the video that gave me the most IRL LOLs, with the video that gave me the most delight. Hermeto Pascoal is something of an eccentric legend in Brazil, an albino experimental folk musician with a particular love for natural instruments. His “Musica da Lagoa” speaks for itself: “Hermeto and O Grupo playing the music of the heavens with flutes and bottles in a lake.” Wow.
Lots of love to Pascoal’s ecstatic breakdown (featuring butterflies) at 2:42.
