Video of the Day: "I'm a Daddy and I Know It"

One of my best friends and her husband, parents of two girls, recently found out that they were pregnant with triplets! This is a natural pregnancy, no fertility drugs were taken. Hell, they weren't really even trying to get pregnant! SURPRISE!!! LOL!

I was visiting them last night and while talking, my friend's husband admitted that he had it fairly easy with their two girls, but now he's beginning to think about how the addition of three more children - all at one time - is going to add a little more... shall we say... excitement to their lives. (Ya think? Hehe!)

Ironically enough, this morning I found this video and have since posted it on each of their Facebook pages. It's laugh-out-loud funny and gives great insight into what it's going to be like to parent five children after the triplets arrive.

I wish them both the best of luck and can't wait for the madness to ensue!

Video of the Day: Moon Trance by Lindsey Stirling

If you like music but don't know who Lindsey Stirling is, you are truly missing out. She is an extremely talented violinist, dancer and composer who performs a variety of music styles, including classical, pop, hip-hop and even dub-step. I first saw Lindsey on America's Got Talent, where she made it to the quarter-finals. On the show, she was dubbed the Hip-Hop Violinist.

Lindsey is cute and quirky and definitely has her own style, and her music is phenomenal, in my humble opinion anyway.  She has her own YouTube channel where you can watch music videos and live recordings of her playing and dancing to her choreographed violin performances.

In September, Lindsey released a self-titled CD with 12 original tracks - 6 remastered songs as well as 6 new releases.  I'm currently addicted to one of the tracks on that CD, Moon Trance, the video of which can be found below.  If you enjoy it as much as I do, you should check out the rest of her catalog.  I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Video of the Day: A Capella Cover of Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites by Skrillex

As many of you know, my latest musical obsession is Dubstep. Imagine my surprise when I realized that many talented people are recording A Capella versions, a la Mike Thompkins, of songs from this new, wildly popular music genre. Like me (if you've ever heard Dubstep before), you probably thought it impossible to be able to make sounds like that using only your voice! Well, not only can Aaron do it, he sounds amazing! If you're not familiar with the song, you can play Aaron's cover and the original song side by side here. You won't believe how close his version sounds to the original!

Aaron knows that some of his facial expression are "amusing". He says, "If you HATE them then you never had a childhood". He also admits, "some sounds are ridiculous, but that's as close as I could get!". But get past all that, and what you'll have left is a clever, unique, fantastically talented guy who, in my opinion, likely has a very successful musical career ahead of him.

Aaron's sister Astrid, who is also a talented singer, is featured in a couple of his videos, which you can see here.
