Amazing Freestyle Outer Space Piano Jam



You know, when I hear “Space Jam”, this is usually what I think of:

Now mind you, I’ve never actually seen that movie, but it can’t be good. Much like this.

But okay, let’s give Mr. Piano Genius a chance. In his ad, the images linked to a YouTube video. Allow me to show you a still from the opening of said video:

 

Hm. I’m not entirely sure why there is a Hamilton Beach drip coffee maker floating above the African subcontinent, but who am I to argue with genius? Besides, I’m apparently in a space coma, which may or may not have been brought about by a lack of caffeine.

“But what about the music?” I hear you crying. “Tell me about the journey to other planets that we will be making upon this magical kitchen appliance!” Well, dear reader, I must inform you that this musical journey sounds exactly the way it would sound if Yanni laid down a track, listened to it, and said, “Wow, that’s insipid,” and then overlaid it with random synthesized percussion and THEN threw it out for being the worst thing he’d ever composed. It’s exactly that good, and no better.

Thanks, Prunella!

    “Spark’ I do not care what combination of substances and the weeks-old pizza in the fridge did for you–nobody actually “gets” what Kubrick was doing in that last 11 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now, clean the kitchen or get out, you stoners!”

      The stoners never did see the last 11 minutes. They were long gone when Keir went through the time warp.

    When I played in Sonoma, they were in a space coma,
    Like a space race straight to the moon,
    Like to infinity and halfway past it,
    Playing through the end of June.
    Now it’s all designed to blow our minds,
    But our minds won’t really be blown
    Like the blow that’ll get you when you get your picture
    Right here on the YSaC Zone.

    The floating space kegerator in the above image is the Spitzer Space Telescope, Hubble’s infrared-sensing (invisible redder-than-red light) brother. It can be distinguished from the Kepler Space Telescope because Kepler is more angular. If Spitzer is the original Tie Fighter, Kepler is the Tie Interceptor.

    In fairness to Sparky, someone had to be there to push the keys for the space music. Spitzer just isn’t as nimble as it was in its youth. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t meant to compose.

    She packed my mug this morning, prefilter
    Morning rush hour, 6am.
    And I’m gonna be wired as a house by then.
    I miss my bed so much I miss the dreams
    It’s lonely out in space
    On such a drip-less coffee.

    And I think it’s gonna be a long, long day
    Without coffee here I gotta say
    I’m not the man I used to be before
    No, no, no, no
    I’m a caffeine man!
    Caffeine man!
    Filling up his mug again! Fifth time!

    Llamanun (BBUY), you must not have watched all 14:53 of this. At about 14:22, my mind was officially blown! (I do have to tell you that the best part was at about 14:52, however.)

      Dunno, “Demon Duck of Doom” sounds like IF’s Byrds-Flock of Seagulls fusion-techno cover band (they only play Hitchcock movie music, though . . . )*

        Actually it’s more of a Chuck Berry/Buckwheat Zydeco/Rick Dees fusion band. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard Disco Duck played on the accordion.

      Hi Demon! And, if I had a clue what Capn just said I’d probably ditto the comment.

      As it is, I don’t…but then I rarely do – said occasions often resulting in happy-chair dance at my desk – so I’ll just say howdy y’all!

      And welcome.

      Did you bring coffee slices? Because it’s kind of a tradition.

      So are cupcakes.

      And pie.

      I like pie. Apple pie, heated with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. And cheese…on the pie, but only if you warm it – the pie not the cheese – same with the ice cream, only on warm pie…and only vanilla, and if you don’t have vanilla ice cream then just pie with no cheese. And if there’s no pie, then never mind. I’ll just eat a Twinkie.

          Gawd, CJ, come one! It’s page 337, Section C, Paragraph 4 of the employee manual. Right after the section that explains how we gotta pay for our own hepatitis shots and the punishment for stealing office supplies.*

          *Said punishment is actually what makes the hepatitis shots necessary.
