This is why YouTube scares me.
Student and I are in midst of conversation. YouTube comes up.
Student: Why are you so scared of YouTube? It really doesn't seem like it would be that bad.
Pearson: Oh, I know that if I even tried just playing around on the thing, I would not leave the site for 72 hours. Bare minimum.
Student: There's not THAT much on there, is there?
Pearson: Okay, example. I want you to name a band. Any band.
Student: You seem to have been talking about Mute Math a lot.
Pearson: Okay. I'm going to YouTube now. I am searching Mute Math hits...and look at all of this stuff I get...and...wait...look at this...
...and suddenly my brain is broken all over again.
Because, when I saw Mute Math play at Cornerstone, I saw a drum solo...well, more correctly, a piano stool and mike stand solo...that was simply AMAZING.
And what I found in THAT VERY YOUTUBE SEARCH was THIS VIDEO of THAT VERY DUDE DUDE OH DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE
DUDE!!!
Let us recap. I, on a whim, go searching YouTube for a band of someone else's choosing, and I immediately found one of the most amazing concert moments I have ever been at. Total elapsed time: Two minutes. Including time to view video clip.
I don't even know if I want to do the search for any of the other Cornerstone bands.
Especially Luminate.
(Phew. No indie band video clips, just video game stuff.)
(But I wanted to find indie band clips.)
