In June, I posted a video of a Knights of Cydonia cover by Ze Trio. They used a guitar, an accordion, and a violin, and the overall sound was kind of folksy/Gypsy-esque. The recording quality was terrible, and the playing wasn’t particular accurate, but I still loved it. Well, it looks like as of December, they’re getting better!

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

I especially like how Weird Al’s in the video, but he’s playing a completely different character.

…I had no idea Sheryl Crow could play the accordion?

Nice acoustic guitar/violin/accordion cover of Knights of Cydonia by Muse. Unfortunately, the recording quality is terrible. The vocals in particular clip in an especially bad way. Still, very cool!

“Every Breath You Take” rendered with a swing. Halfway through, I noticed I was snapping my fingers. The original song was fed through a Python script that stretches the first half of each beat, and shrinks the second half. It’s much more enjoyable when you know how the sausage gets made!
