Here I am. I am entering a new world. A world of power and communication, a world free from seriousness and reality. A world in which spelling does not matter and random thoughts and memories are encouraged. I welcome you into my corner of this new world that is so foreign to me, but so enticing. I will, in celebration, share some videos with you all. I heart youtube. It is awesome. Therefore, I choose to share some awesomeness with you.
First, this is a video of some dude with insane piano skills. No, Tyson, it is not your BFF. He is incredible, but this guy must have made a pact with the devil. The song he plays is called "La Campanella" by Franz Liszt. For those of you that don't know - Liszt was the equivelent of, say, Justin Timberlake. All the hotties flocked to watch him. This video is not for all, just for those that enjoy good piano music. La Campanella
Next, this is a clip from "That 70's Show". I decided that it is appropriate as Halloween is coming up. Fez is trying to comprehend the idea of trick-or-treating. Right at the end he says a naughty B word, though. Sorry. Trick-or-Treat
Finally, the people's elbow. Need I say more? Rock

Like Ozzie said..."Psssst...Please"
Casey, my dissapointment in your musical knowledge runs deep...for as I am sure you are trying to make me jealous by placing this homer on your blog...you fail to understand that I am the BFF of Matthew Bellamy. Now for novice Piano listeners such as yourself you might not catch on to the undeniable similarities between one "La Campanella" by Franz Lizst....and one of the greatest songs ever called "Butterflies and Hurricanes" by Muse. If you were to listen to the two of them one after another, you will see that my BFF simply arranged "La Campanella" into a blow-your-mind-awesome rock song. He added some guitar and bass chords, and some vocals....I bet you wish you had your post back. If there is any doubt of this, simply watch the video that resides ON MY BLOG, entitled "Matt Bellamy playing La Campanella on a grand piano"... yes it is really there. It is the 4th one on the list....he has his hair dyed blond. You can see that it is mere childs play for Matthew to play this piece, and that is why he felt it necessary to upgrade Mr Frizst's music into MUSE(ic)...So before you apologize to me for placing inferior piano playing wannabes on your blog...Know this....Matthew Bellamy is the superior being. (That is from the office).
How do you like them apples?....BLEAHHHHH.
War My BFF Forever Matt
"I was [blogger] of the month for 13 of the last 12 months... ya, you heard me." I saw the video of your BFF starting to play la campanella. I am not saying that he can't play the whole thing, he might be able to. I actually saw that video before it was on your post - I heard la campanella for the first time like 4 years ago in my music appreciation class. It was awesome by the way. So yes, I accept that your BFF may be able to play the most difficult piano song ever. That is why he is so awesome. Anybody that can do that is awesome. I just wish I could see him play it insted of some other guy named hansel or whatever.
P.S. I think space dementia's piano is a tad better than B&H.
the piano piece was rather nice, and the level of difficulty was recognizable, especially the part in which the pianist was able to induce a focalized seizure of his right hand and control it in a way that was called for in the musical arrangement. focalized hand seizures were first introduced into the musical world with Beethovenn's lesser known sister composition "fur elise on steroids and meth" the practice however was soon abandoned by most mainstream composers and performers due to involuntary loss of bladder and bowel function. the practice was reintroduced in the early 40's with the invention of urinary catheters and depends brand adult sanitation pads. anyway, nice song, nice blog, see you in the funny papers.
Ladies, ladies, is that what you call a piano solo? I showed Sam, and she verified that's the one I played in my sleep last night. So, I'm really not that impressed. Casey, it's awesome to have you flying solo, honestly, I framed put a roof up today all day, oh, did you not catch that.... yeah, i said I put a roof up today, and got your news, but was unable to check it until just moments ago. I am a proud man, the 4 brothers are now free to make fun of each other all we want without any traces of estregen around. (atleast not on my blog). This is a great day for us all! p.s. - I lied, and I was impressed by the piano skills i witnessed, the true mark of the ultimate piano dorkus is when immediatly after playing a note their hand will recoil back violently as if the key has just burned their hand. --That's what piano dorks do. If anyone needs to hear mary had a little lamb... give me a call, I'll rock your socks off.
