We spent last weekend in Bend, Oregon with our friends Cameron and Ruston. We drove up on Thursday (5/22) and took our time during the drive in order to stop often and explore. We arrived late that night after 12 hours on the road, but slept great (in Ruston's bed; with Ruston's doggie!) and woke up refreshed and ready for adventure on Friday. There is a lot of beer in Bend, OR. Needless to say, we consumed a lot of it! We hopped around and stopped at lots of microbreweries, then picked up some beers for the house. Late into the evening on Friday night, we had music playing on the TV as we all talked and laughed.
Have you seen the "People Are Awesome" videos? You should. Because: People. Are. Awesome. We mostly had those playing in the background. Until a couple song requests came up....
Cameron played a song titled "The Big Bad Wolf" by Duck Sauce. I'm going to attach a link to a video but I'd like to first say that this is one of the weirdest things you (and 8 million others) will ever view. Nightmares. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKMoVAObbhE
Ruston is known by me for his great music choices. He provides the soundtrack for all the fun weekends we've spent together: at our home in Concord, the cabin in Lake Tahoe, and now in Oregon! This weekend he played a song titled "What Does the Fox Say" by Ylvis. I had actually recently just watched a comic (non-music) video by the same duo about an "Intelevator". It was really funny, so I'm not surprised that their music video is also every bit as funny and entertaining. What did surprise me, is that with more than 414 million views, it's only #27 on a list of Youtube's most viewed videos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_viewed_YouTube_videos
Note: "Gangnam Style" by Psy is #1 on that list, with almost 2 BILLION views.
I attempted to attach the music video for "What Does the Fox Say?" below - if that doesn't work, definitely check it out on youtube. (I'd like to see it move up from position #27!! ) It's a really high-quality video, and I think it's a pretty awesome song! Perhaps you'll agree. Or perhaps you're opinion of my music recommendations will take a big dive. (Though I'm pretty sure that already happened if you braved "The Big Bad Wolf".)
Since I'm in a generous mood, I'll share one more video. One final video we watched that I came home wanting to hear more of was Lindsey Sterling's "Shadows". It's beautiful violin with a pretty face and energetic dance feet. Amazing!
ENJOY ALL!!!
