…or maybe it’s just me.

“Eye of the tiger”, the Rocky classic by Survivor, played by a bunch of guys using nothing but iPads as musical instruments… oh, and occasionally spinning on their heads.

Pro Keys
Baby Scratch
Guitar Mania

Many thanks to Ian Green for the heads-up.

Monday, December 28th, 2009

It’s the Christmas break, so I’m enjoying spending some time surfing the interweb and finding interesting things for the blog. :-)

Like me, you’ve probably wondered what a mashup between Star Wars and The A Team would look like.
