Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

My gift to you? The gift of laughter. My eyes were watering I laughed so hard at this. Please, someone tell me it's not just me. I want some apple juice.

Sickest band I've never heard of before seeing live. Two dudes. One playing fast and hard pounding drums with half electronic pads and half real drums and a real snare. The other playing a double neck guitar and bass, with multiple delay pedals to repeat riffs, a harmonizer to play multiple harmonies, a tremolo peddle, and a bunch of other cool effects to fill out the most sound I've heard from one musician at once. Drummer even used his drumsticks on the bass, while the other dude fretted the notes with his left hand, and played open chords on the guitar with his right hand to make a cool sounding riff. Really sick band. Check them out if you ever get a chance.

Here's their encore songs that are a little quieter. The rest of their set was loud and fast, which sent the iPhone into paralysis. The audio gets kind of muted halfway through these too, but it's better than nothing.

The Milgram Experiment

In 1961, Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment to find out how far people would go in doing things they knew were wrong, and how much they needed to be pushed to do so.

Milgram took volunteers and told them they were attempting to find out if a series of shocks to another volunteer would influence their answers when asking them general questions. Every time the subject would answer a question wrong, he would receive an electric shock that increased after every wrong answer, ultimately approaching dangerous levels.

What the volunteer in charge of administering the shocks didn't know, was the shock machine was a prop, and the subject was an actor. The real test subject was him, and they were testing man's inherent level of obedience.

Here's a link to a short doc, and actual footage of the experiment.
