Gerry (Jerry) Phillips has been playing songs on his hands for 38 years. Why? I have no idea, but the results is half hilarious, half weird, and half internet awesomeness (but Paul that’s 150%… yes I know… but internet awesomeness always adds at least 50%).

The guy covers all kinds of stuff on his YouTube Channel, but here’s some highlights….

Direct from BeatAndBombs.com comes the Top 10 Best Beatboxers Of All Time. There was no doubt in my mind that Rahzel would take the crown as the guy is simply amazing. Anyway… on to the list.

Beatboxing has been around in some form for thousands years. In fact the human body was most likely the first musical instrument used in ancient African tribal ceremonies and even in the Chinese vocal art Kouji. But the true art of beatboxing didn’t really take form until the 1980s when someone made the brilliant decision to use a microphone to project their vocal beats and hip-hop music was never the same. Here we countdown the top 10 beatboxers of all time. An accomplishment made all the more significant when you realize that literally anyone born with a vocal chord has what it takes to make beats yet only these 10 can truly be called the masters of beatboxing.

Ron Paul appears on CNN’s American Morning and points out the lies we are being told about economics and foreign policy.

Super Crew takes the crown as America’s Best Dance Crew on MTV’s show of the same name.

From the beginning I knew these guys HAD to take it, oddly enough they were up for elimination several times. Ultimately, their skill could not be matched. These guys are incredible B-boys.

Bio: Super Cr3w is a conglomerate of b-boys from three West Coast dance crews — Full Force, Battle Monkeys and Knucklehead Zoo — who battled each other eight years ago and have been friends ever since. Heading into America’s Best Dance Crew 2, members Ronnie Rey, Do-Knock, Abenamar Honrubia, Rockadile, Alex Murda and Vex are ready to do battle and obliterate the competition.

But what exactly makes this crew so super? Well, for starters, they have traveled the world showing off their skills, having won countless competitions together and as solo dancers.

Sprint has finally posted information on the massive firmware update planned for the Samsung Instinct. Users should expect to see the update made available for their device over the next few weeks, with each application prompting to be updated when you access it.

Notable improvements include an apparently more robust experience when browsing YouTube and BestBuy in the web browser, as well as overall system improvements that should reduce stuttering and choppy playback in the various multimedia features.

There’s really nothing to say except that you’ve been Rick Rolled election style!

Guy buys an old Showbiz Pizza animatronic band and reprograms it to play various songs. Freaking AWESOME.

Here’s his Usher video:

Oh hell naw… yet another example of why I love the Internet. In this clip you’ll find a Star Wars dance competition. Ya… people dressed in Star Wars costumes having a dance off. It’s pretty funny, but only gets funnier when Darth Vader and some Stormtroopers busts out to Thriller.

So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) has kicked off Season 4. I have to admit that this is one of my favorite shows on TV. They of course follow the American Idol format of showing a bunch of whack jobs the first few weeks but then it dives right into serious dancing. The street dancers are always my favorite, especially when they are versatile enough to keep up with contemporary, swing, quickstep, etc.

The real stand out of week 1 (May 22nd, 2008) was Robert Muraine (or is it Robert Murraine?), also known as “Mr. Fantastic” on the street. This audition is simply mind blowing, it reminded me of Bryan Gaynor - the little robot man - from last season. Most contestants get 1 minute to do their stuff, the judges are so entertained by this guy that it goes on for nearly 7 minutes. It was an awesome way to end the first show.

Here’s two vids via YouTube:

Forget touchscreen, or uber “green” solar powered coffee tables… Kyle Downes has modded the coffee table into its best version ever: a retro-tastic NES controller. The high quality finish and classy glass top isn’t the end of this awesome mod… it actually works. Don’t believe it? Check out the video after the gallery.

Kyle spent months putting this together, starting with a scanned image of his original NES control. This he then simply scaled up, carefully crafting each piece out of MDF and hacking his own wiring onto a broken old controller board. The glass top was the final touch, to protect those giant buttons, and inside there’s plenty of storage. I guess if you’re up for some giant 8-bit game-controlling action you’d probably need someone else on hand.
