Making the rounds lately is this lovely vid-ditty:

I feel it notable just because I find the trappings of metalheads and goths to be…more than somewhat similar. The only difference is the attitude and the execution (excuse the pun) of the music. Both subcultures and music styles are tremendously clichéd. Which is why the vegan element works so well in that what would be a passing lame is instead silly as hell (check out the knife he uses to slice the tofu). You’d expect a goth to be vegan, but a metalhead?

Bobby McFerrin demonstrates “the power of the pentatonic scale”. In every culture of the world (at least the ones Bobby’s visited), people (at least the ones who go to Bobby’s concerts) seem to recognize and imitate the pentatonic scale.

Bobby McFerrin proves this to us here, at the World Science Festival, 2009.
