Some new, kind of strange, kind of neat music

Okay, I really like roaming around the Internet following random links that come up in searches and on Youtube, and occasionally I find some really neat music, often wildly different from the kind of pop music we’re used to here in the US.

Family reunions, family photos

Aunt Mary

This weekend I’m going to a reunion of my Aunt Mary’s family, her kids and grandkids and great-grandkids.  Aunt Mary passed away many years ago, and I wish I had paid more attention to her, but when you’re a snot-nosed punk kid, you think old folks will be around forever.  Then all of a sudden, you realize you’re not far from being “old folks” yourself, and you start to pay attention (often too late) to the ones around you that are left.

Avengers: Disassemble!

I stumbled across this wicked little gem of an animation by a young animator named Junaid Chundrigar. He has a fantastic comic style, and he really skewers the biggest Marvel superheroes in this short.  Some of the things he shows the characters doing, you just know that’s exactly what would happen if they  weren’t in comic books!
