“Thriller” a cappella

 So I came across this video on Neatorama, and I just had to share it with you. François Macré, a rather ambitious singer (and apparently a fan of Michael Jackson) recorded an a cappella version of Michael’s chilling classic “Thriller” using only his voice. This may not sound overly complicated, but you will definately be impressed… he recorded 64 separate vocal tracks, imitating everything from the opening door creak to hand claps to guitar. If nothing else, this video is sure to get you into the Halloween…er…. spirit. Enjoy!

Viva la Coldplay!

Ok, so after seeing Coldplay at the Q/Quicken Loans Arena/The Arena Formerly Known as Gund Arena last night, here are my thoughts:

  1. whoa.
  2. holy cow.
  3. incredible.

what else is there to say? they put on a fantastic show. they played almost everything from the new album, plus all the old stuff they knewwe wanted to hear. the show was well-paced, energetic, and eye-catching. the lighting and visual effects were stunning. it was a wonderful, memorable night. i took some pictures with my phone… i’ll get them up as soon as i figure out where the heck my cables and memory card adapter are. dang it.

“Violet Hill” from Viva La Vida

Coldplay… be still my heart.

The hubby and I are headed to the Q in Cleveland tonight to see Coldplay… holy cow, am I excited! I figured a pic of the incomparable Chris Martin, as well as a little Viva La Vida to get me amped couldn’t hurt. Yah, you can be excited for me… I’ll let you know how it goes. :-)
