Everybody's workin' for the weekend. A little non-Flash Friday fun. (Link goes to a page with an embedded QuickTime movie.)

Awesome. Something about the earnestness in his face just makes it work.

Anyone else a little creeped out by the ratio of this guy's tiny head and skinny neck to his enormous arms? It's like John Basedow plays Loverboy! Oh, but yeah, this rocked off various parts of my anatomy that can only be reattached through highly untested, experimental de-rockification surgery.

It made me laugh. The guy must be unemployed or a student or something, though, as I can't imagine how much time he wasted on this. Props for the pointlessness of it.

very funny, very earnest! Did anyone else notice he has transparent legs whenever there's a group shot with the 'entire band' - actually none of the band members do. Interesting editing ;) What a fun video

I'm mirroring the video.

seawallrunner: I believe that his legs are transparent because he shot himself in all the positions and just layered the cuts over each other and made each one vaguely transparent. This allows himself to appear in multiple places at once without all the hassle of digital trickery, such as bluescreening.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen on the Internet.

I was also just impressed with his ability to mock-play all those instruments--he may not be a true multi-instrumentalist, but he's certainly technically proficient enough pose as a real bass/guitar/keyboard/drum guy. I don't know enough to know whether he's really mocking all the right notes, but he's doing something convincing enough to look like he is. (And cyphill's right about the layering--it's like when you intentionally double-expose a photo in a film camera.)

If you really want to see a one man band, check out Bernie Talty (a friend of a friend) He's awesome! but probably won't make it big time, because he has a hard time working in a band with other people.. he knows how to play their instruments better than they do.. no matter what it is.. Check the video.. A real one man band!

OK, he needs a lead singer... But that never stopped Bob Dylan.
