As usual, I’m about a week behind the Internet, but in case you’re further behind than me, you really really really need to look at Thru You. Israeli musician Kutiman has created an album of songs spliced together from YouTube videos, and the result is astounding. Please understand, I’m talking about honest-to-goodness songs, good ones, with compelling video tracks to go with them. The whole experience has the same kind of joyous feel that Matt Harding’s videos do.
Here, watch the first track.
Then go to the album’s site and watch them in order. I’ll help search the floor for your jaw afterward.
That video is MADE OF AWESOME! 🙂
Side note: Bernard Purdie is frickin hilarious. The video they pulled from is an absolute hoot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FX_84iWPLU
I learned about the Purdie Shuffle on the Steely Dan DVD that Amy bought. Watch him ‘splain it for you:

What’s wonderful is that all 8 of the videos are awesome!
I have now watched that Bernard Purdie video, and it too is awesome. Awesomeness all around!
Absolutely phenomenal! My kids and I rocked out to them all!
