This morning on my way to work I was listenning to Botar (Bandits of the acoustic revolution) and there was this song (I think it was something like “A perfect life” or something … I don’t remember) with this crazy gypsy-like guitar solo and it immediately made me think of Django Reinhart.
I remember hearing about Django Reinhart for the first time in the movie Swing Kids. I was amazed as soon as I started listenning to his stuff (though not that easy to find…). The man had only 2 fingers, had to survive through the second world war… and was an INCREDIBLE guitarist. I really want to learn to play like that … uhm. So here’s a couple of video of Django or people playing his song (quite well I might add):

Cheers Y’all!

I’m feeling SO swing baby!

First a video of Cab Calloway … for people like me who knew the name & the music but not the man (worth the watch):

And some INCREDIBLE lindy-hop:

I’ll definately add more later.

Yeah, I totally love Dave Chappell’s stuff (maybe except the racist stuff … it’s funny but… eh.)

*Update April 8th 2007* … apparently Comedy Central blocked the blog video… that’s uh… lame?

So here’s a youtube of “Pee on you”.

I have work over my head… no time to write anything interesting… BUT … here’s a confession (thanks to Ame for exposing me)

And a funnies to finish today (can’t understand squat… but funny!)
