Do It: Watch Kutiman Mashup

Legion are the false promises of the InterWebs. Remember how there would be no digital divide? How ads would be a thing of the past? How there would still be newspapers?

But few Nettified functionalities have been more of a woefully sputtering fizzle than the vaunted mash up. "Yo, dawg, I herd you like watching online content and contributing some user generated content. So, we put content in your content so that you can watch while you watch." But now a dude goin' by the handle of Kutiman ("Wait a second, son, "handle" in the post Y2K world? That's a 10-4 good buddy.) has Made. It. Happen.

Behold, the mother of all funk chords!

Ohhhh, the goodness. The cleverness. The sampl-i-ness of it all. Uncle iClipse is recommending it to those of you who have not already been bombarded by it on FaceBook or had it reTweeted to death.

Do it! Watch Kutiman.

PS - Funk is the bomb. Funkiness lurks all around us. Sometimes it is clear to me that jazz is secretly just a bunch of funky music nerds who are tired of how easy it is for them to be funk-i and making it harder for their own enjoyment by (a) doing it live and (b) only making the funk obvious to the insiders. Oh, and "Cantaloop" by US 3 is fu-hun-kee; now playing on iTunes.
