So way back when (we're talking when I still had dial-up internet access here) I used to love love love going to Lasse Gjertsen's Youtube page. He has lots of grea videos with a sort of stop-animation going on. The coolest part though is that he essentially "beat-boxes," "plays" the piano, and "plays" the drums in his videos. But the catch is that he doesn't actually know how to beat box, play the piano, or play the drums.
I'm not very good at explaining, so just check out his two videos below.
Lasse Gjertsen - Hyperactive
Lasse Gjertsen - Amateur
Isn't that awesome? If you're really interested feel free to check out Lasse Gjertsen's website. Be forewarned that it's in Norwegian. You can download all of the music that he's made for free!
And you want to hear one of the best parts about this guy? With some of his initial success on Youtube in 2006 he was offered job offers from groups like MTV who wanted him to help them with advertising. His response? Gjertsen publicly denounced the concept of advertising, "considering it just below prostitution," and refused all such offers.
Yeah, you tell 'em!
