A Wooden Ball Plays Bach

Linear forest xylophone plays Bach by gravity alone

Trancecoach says...

Yes, there is resetting involved. The balls around 1:10 that get pushed off for example. I think there are also a few blocks that obstruct the roll of the ball as well.

Finally, a Rube Goldberg device with an actual purpose! And you don't even have to reset the parts to use it again...just drop another ball.

To add to the comment I added on that post, I've always known who he was because the likes of The Goodies would make fun of him (and Sir David Attenborough, and the likes). He's a fairly well-known astronomer, and a slightly less well-known xylophone player, who has played (in 1981) for the Queen in a Royal variety performance.

I don't think I've ever seen him without his monocle.

Close. I would vote for Giraffe number 1, then Kenya. Maybe they're my equal faves with Scampi and Badger coming after.

I don't like all of them, the salad fingers ones and the like leave me completely cold (choccy otoh leaves me hungry

Oh no! I forgot Patrick Moore! Now I don't know whether I like it more than Scampi or not... OK, I'd better stop here before I get really confused...

Space Snacks! With Sir Patrick Moore, the astronomer

oritteropo says...

The very English Patrick Moore. He was regularly lampooned on the British children's programmes I used to watch on TV as a child.

As is pointed out in the weebl cartoon named after him, he does indeed play the Xylophone, and has played for the Queen

I can't not upvote this. Also, how is he still alive? Is his xylophone actually a phylactery? Is he an intergalactic space-lich? The fact that he consumes things to know what they are is worrying.

New Pomplamoose VideoSong featuring Ben Folds

Krupo says...

Wow, I'm going to double that *quality call. Where are the xylophone haters now?

Though I think he did upgrade it to a nicer one...

If you feel threatened by Hornby's little gags, you probably have some deep-seated insecurities you should attend to - it was a cute tease at worst if you're comfortable with your life.

I am curious to know how much they got a "pro" to edit this videosong versus their normal "self-made" versions?

Beat the Horse by Pomplamoose

shuac says...

Her voice is nice as always and I've enjoyed the Pomplamoose thing we've had going this past month...but this song is not good (imo). It's discordant in a bad way and the double time chorus is a misstep. Also, whatever he paid for that little toy xylophone, he got his money's worth already.
