Yes, the video is two years old, but I still love it. I think that might be Rufus Wainright playing a shoe salesman at one point.

Subway viola improvisation: L train station at 1st Avenue
After attending a performance by John Moran at PS122, James and I encountered this violist improvising on the platform across from us in the L train’s First Avenue station, with a bit of unexpected dance accompaniment. This is a station where you can’t cross over to the other side without going back to the street, or we would have moved over there to give him some money and talk to him. If anyone knows him, ask him to drop me an email.
The video is made up of several clips that I combined, and I’m no video editor. My apologies for the abrupt transitions.

Swiss Firemen rap video
Cute Swiss firemen from Geneva, rapping in French:
“118, au cas ou tu flippes/ 118, inscrit-le dans ton slip” (118, in case you freak out/118, write it in your undies)
A group of young Geneva firefighters decided to film the clip to end public confusion between their number, 118, and new directory assistance hotlines. Here is the story on BBC News.
