Let's start this off with a collab I never knew I needed, Pomplamoose and Tessa Violet!
And speaking of Tessa, this dance video for Crush was amazing! I subscribed to this guy's channel immediately on principle alone. I hope he does more. 🙂
Next we got another Lucas the Spider video, and I loved it so much! I hope he does more music like this, maybe even full-length songs? 😊
I've always heard of Cher, but I've never really actually listened to her. However, this song she just put out for her upcoming ABBA cover album came across my radar and I LOVED it! It helps that I already love ABBA, but this was such a great cover. I may have to look into getting her album...
Next we have a great video from Peter Hollens, again, still haven't seen this movie, but I loved this ridiculous video. 😆
Next we have another amazing Steven Universe remix from VGR, with their cover of Ruby Rider!
Studio C has been putting out a bunch of great stuff as always, but I about died over this one, and I had to share it. 😆
And finally, I am absolutely in love with this new song from Sia! Or rather, from LSD, the collaboration project between the three artists Labrinth, Sia, and Diplo. It is so gorgeously weird and creative!!!
Vids are really random this month. Not that that's anything new. Let's start this off with a Lindsey Stirling video. I still have yet to see the movie this music is from, but I still loved Lindsey's take on it.
This video from Vi Hart is hypnotic and beautiful. You don't have to use the 360º feature, but it is really cool to see what she's managed to do. If you're interested in an extremely detailed behind the scenes, I'll link that here.
I have gotten so sick of hearing this song everywhere on the internet, but wouldn't you know it, Pentatonix has managed, once again, to make a version that I actually loved.
Here's a very random video. I have shown this to so many people. It's just so insanely creative, I love it! I saw this on Reddit, I think it was the day it came out, with only a few thousand views. Once again, this was a case where I said to myself, 'this video is going to go viral.' Sure enough, it went so viral that a few days later my brother was texting it to me!
The video is now at over 2 Million views, and a bunch of those are from me rewatching it. There's just something about this guy that I can't help but love. But maybe not quite as much as my cousin Sasha, who, upon seeing the video, declared that she wanted to marry him. :p
Oh, and speaking of random. Here's a thing. I laughed myself to literal tears, multiple times, over this video. It's not technically from this month, but it was featured in a Try Not to Laugh challenge on FBE's React channel this past month, which is how I saw it. Warning, dark humor ahead. :p
If you were disturbed by that video, here's some amazing harp music as a palate cleanser. :p
Last month I forgot to share Lucas the spider's January video, so here's that, along with February's.
I love this spider so much! I wish all spiders were this cuddly and adorable!
I am so pumped for Owl City's new album! This song is amazing!
And finally, the best video of the month, Peter Hollens has FINALLY covered Bohemian Rhapsody! With an amazing, creative twist!
I have a LOT more videos than usual this month, so let's just jump right into them!
Biggest news of the month: OK Go is back!!! MY jaw dropped to the floor and stayed there through the whole video. I am in absolute awe of their creativity. This would be an amazing video if they had shot on green screen and built all the effects with CGI and animation, but the fact that this is all practical effects, created with PRINTERS, and more specifically, PRECISELY TIMED printers, is just utterly astounding.
And speaking of people being back! Owl City is back! The first music video for his upcoming album dropped this month, and I love it! :D
Superfruit (Scott and Mitch of Pentatonix) have been putting out some extremely catchy music recently, but this video is one of my favorites. It has just the right amount of weird, random, creative catchiness. My favorite part is definitely the old granny mannequin/morph-suit person. :p
And speaking of Pentatonix, they have bumped up their content in the last couple of months, however most of it is Christmas music, which I am saving for a Christmas post later this month. This one, even though it is used as a Christmas song, is not traditionally a Christmas song, so I decided to include it here, and save the others.
I've never seen Steven King's It, and I don't really plan to, but this parody, starring everyone's least favorite Star Wars character, Jar Jar Binks, just absolutely cracked me up.
I don't think I've featured Alex Boyé in awhile, let's remedy that with his epic new cover of Imagine Dragons' Believer!
I. Love. Melodysheep.
I honestly never thought I'd feature this song on my blog. It was everywhere this summer, and I was kind of sick of hearing it, but leave it to Kurt Hugo Schneider, Sam Tsui, & co to come up with a version I really liked. :)
I'm sure you've never heard of Adler Davidson, he's a very small YouTuber, but he deserves to be bigger. I absolutely loved this video he put out, I've played it on repeat so many times. He is such a weird, hilarious genius.
Side note: I've actually had a customer get wildly, and furiously, offended at me for saying, "Have a nice day," before, because "It's none of you business what kind of a day I have." So that part actually made me laugh for more than just that it sounds ridiculous. It may be ridiculous, but it's also true. I don't know if that's hilarious or sad. Maybe both.
This is probably the least weird video that Poppy has ever made. But I still loved it for the song, despite the video's relative normality. It still had a semi-creepy face-less mop creature playing an electric guitar, so at least it had a little something extra there for me. :p
This extremely short video showed up online out of nowhere this month, and I fell in love. I've lost count how many times I've watched it and showed it to people. Who knew that a spider could be so adorable!?
This was originally an animation test by an independent animator, starring his nephew Lucas as Lucas the spider, but he has since rebranded the channel around the character and made another short! I hope he keeps going! I need a steady supply of Lucas in my life!
I already loved this song by Selena Gomez and Marshmello, but as usual, I think I like Mike Tompkins' version better.
I will never not be utterly amazed by World Order's (Dancing? Acrobatic? Choreography?) skills.
We'll end this post with another hilarious Studio C sketch. I never watch Saved By the Bell as a kid, but I loved this sketch. It perfectly captured the cheese of the era, and added heaping helping of Studio C's hilarious brand of brilliant weirdness.
