Youtube Musicians + Math = AWESOME.

As it often happens on the internet, a link leads to a link which leads to a link, which leads to something awesome.

And today for me, my good friend Morgan Woodring's link lead me to a link which lead me to link which lead me to this.




Don't you just love awesome things like this, and by this I mean Math Musicians writing songs about the most interesting of all mathematical constants--->PI.

And BONUS. It's kind of catchy!
He uses a wide array of completely nerdy instruments like the xylophone and the ukelele and the accordion and the banjo and the glockenspiel.
Oh yeah, a glockenspiel.

This viral video is the creation of one Michael John Blake, who you've got to check out. His bands are here, here, here and here.

The last "here" being this superamazingohmygoditssogood band called Mnemonic Sounds, where Michael John Blake plays guitar. Their sound is...is like candy. A little bit of Owl City mixed with Tegan and Sara and Lights[ who by the way has one of the best songs in the world called February Air]. You should listen to Keeping It Quiet and Carousel by them.

Ah, the internet, what wondrous things you connect us to....
