Thing #20: Youtube

I love Youtube!!!

Yes there is a lot of junk, but there is so much great stuff there. I don't mind sifting through the other drivel for the gems. Maybe we should broadcast "trailers" for upcoming programs on Youtube? As long as it's not me on there...I'll bet Charlie would do it.

This is Marisa Monte singing "Para Ver As Meninas." She's the best living female vocalist in Brazil, singing a song by the best living samba/choro songwriter in Brazil, accompanied by the the best cavaquinho player in Brazil. That's just my opinion, but I don't think you'd get many arguments from Brazilians. (I have to post the link because the embedding has been "disabled by request.")


"The Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music. I love this movie, this song and those puppets!






And here is "Library Limbo"--a short cartoon by Cornell film students. Really adorable!
