Years of music by Ryan
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Now if you cut up the tree and put a record sized slab of wood on a special record player, will it play music?
Apparently, yes. Artist Bartholomaus Traubeck has modified a record player to play the growth rings of a tree. Here's his... More.
I CAN go for that: Chromeo and Daryl Hall by Gavin
An amazing collaboration between Chromeo, the tall guy from Hall and Oates, and a bunch of super tight studio musicians whose names I do not know. Better than the original. Because of the talk box synth. Buhleeee dat. Some nice chatter at the beginning, but skip to 3:46 for the realness.
Also, if you want to see more... More.

Deadmau5 takes over the Millbank Tower by hutch
At the end of November, electronic superstar Deadmau5 teamed up with Nokia and took over London's Millbank Tower to celebrate the launch of the Lumia. I don't want to give away how awesome this is, but let's just say I wish Deadmau5 would do this for Nuit Blanche. He's from Ontario, after all.

Um...Good Job? by Gavin
It's weird when you see someone who has obviously spent thousands of hours honing a craft that nobody cares about. Oh well, at least he's got that sweet 'stache and biz/casual haircut.
Also, watch out for what looks like a 7-year-old Jay-Z around the 1:15 mark. He looks confused, understandably.

Top Pop Songs Mashup 2011 by Emery
I'm always amazed by these mashups; These people were able to combine countless pop hits of 2011 into one track- and I like it better than the tracks it's based on. So get a mug of hot toddy, curl up by the warm glow of your computer screen and enjoy this soundtrack to the end of the year.
