Hai, I'll be your Oops There's A Hole In The Schedule diarist du jour... follow me below the dingledoodlesquiggliedKosagnocchidividerthingie fold after a word from our sponsor...
Here at Top Comments we strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it to topcomments at gmail by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
NOTE: Bowing to that newfangled DK4 stuff :-), you also may send nominations to the Top Comments group email. If you don't see a nomination you made to there in the diary, please pipe up - it means we're still trying to remember not to forget to check!
I heard the most fantastic sound on NPR tonite... the beatbox cello sounds of Kevin Olusola. He's been making music since he was 4, speaks 5 languages, plays saxaphone and cello (among others), is a stellar beatboxer, and is the kind of role model I want my kids to have.
If I had more time I'd write more, but in the interest of getting to the Tops... have a coupla youtubes and enjoy!
Cello AND Beatbox:
Beatboxing with the Pentatonix:
Short piece on his many, many talents:
I have no idea how to Top that, but let's see what our Top Three can bring you tonite!
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything
without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do
not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
