Sunday Morning Mashups

Sunday Morning should be about scones and lazy news reading.  Maybe a bit of soft jazz playing.  However, this Sunday I will be in a 5k, trying to beat a personal best set 20 years ago.  Little chance of that, but ya gotta have goals.  Therefore, the music should be a little harder.

So, browsing on the interwebz, I found a couple of awesome, awesome videos.  First up is Jack Conte, who does a remix of Daft Punk and Skrillex.  Enough to get the blood going.  The tune is great, but the cut of the video is seriously impressive.  Truly an artist.  I'd try and make the show, but work is going to get crazy right around then.  I may fly down to SF for that night and fly back.  No hotel.  It can be done...

Next up was impressive in another way.  The music is Higher by Mark Rosas.  However, what was incredibly impressive was the dancer in this video, Marquese Scott.  I don't think I could do this via video editing, much less via a live performance.  This was a great demonstration of freestyle.  The music was good, and will be added to the running track.  Seriously, I have watched this twice now, trying to replicate some of the moves.  Great stuff.

Ok kids, stay warm and dry.  20 minutes, here I come.
