I need to move. I can’t afford the place I’m living in now, and I need to find a new place that I can. The problem is that I need to raise money to cover first and last month rent deposits,…
If you can toss Tiger a few bucks you’d make me a really happy bunny because I just want her to be okay and she’s super lovely and talented (her fic made you cry that one time, admit it) and smart and I just hope we can all help her out a bit.
Who’s the greatest Sherlock? For myself it depends on my thirst of the moment: if I’m craving a swig of Holmes Classic, then I’ll unscrew a bottle of Brett; if I’m in the mood for an illicit brew, full of all sorts of war-time additives, then I’ll dust down a vintage Rathbone ‘42; but if I want a Holmes that fizzes on my tongue and froths in my nostrils and makes me feel alive, right now, then I’ll order a triple-shot Cumberbachaccino from Speedy’s Cafe.

What happens when two baroque cellists perform a cover of “Thunderstruck“ by AC/DC? They shred. Literally. Keep an eye on their bows as the piece progresses.
This awesome video features Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, aka 2Cellos, playing their phenomenal “BaRock style” arrangement of the hard rock classic for a completely bewildered 17th century audience. The concept is wonderful, but the actual performance is astonishing.

ok that was seriously badass. PLAY, CROATIAN BEAUTIES, PLAY WHILE I SHIP YOU.
i love the way the sound changes as the bows gradually disintegrate, too.
that was FUCKING AWESOME.
