The Feedback: Folk music! House music! Adele! Capt. Crunch!


(CBS) - Thursday is here and it is time to get fed your weekly fill of music videos! Leggo!

What would a Feedback post be without some sort of "Rolling in the Deep" video? To fill that necessary void, we have the above video by Kenton Dunson. Kenton plays off of the John Legend cover of "Rolling in the Deep" instead of going after the original by Adele. Kenton puts together an interesting video combining the Legend performance as well as some of his own cover work. The end result creates an even more laid back version of the song thanks in large part to the sweet vocals of Legend, another great option to add to your "Rolling in the Deep" playlist.


Next up we have a video from Kinetics & One Love (the Grammy nominated duo for penning the chorus to the smash hit "Airplanes" by B.o.B). Taking everyone's favorite Ace of Base song, "I Saw the Sign" the duo along with up-and-coming artists Mike Stud and Hendersin, some of the best "frat rap" artists out there, execute an awesome cover creating a truly feel good summer song. The vocals of Missy Modell on the chorus make you want to just get up and run outside, while the video portrays exactly that.

Check out my post over on NotSomeKid for more about this dynamic duo.

Side note: if you would like to see Mike Stud (the artist on the last verse) and similar artists of this style performing in concert along with the likes of the mashup duo White Panda, check out this concert held in Seyreville, NJ. All of the proceeds from the concert go towards the Progeria Research Foundation.


Let's change the bass and head across the Atlantic. We featured this track earlier in the week, but it's so good we couldn't resist throwing it up again. 17-year-old Madeon is the French mixer behind this epic jam, mashing up 39 tracks into one three minute song called "Pop Culture." Check out our previous post for the track list.


On a similar note, videos depicting DJs in the act - spinning their set, creating their own take on established songs and combining samples with their own work - always fascinate me. So I present to you this video promoting a new routine by the famous DJ Captain Crunch. He scratches away changing, distorting, and repeating sounds as the piece progresses showcasing a routine that is sure to be a hit.


Last up we have a video that is less about the actual music and more about the video itself. YouTube user "justkylevids" discovers a cool trick when recording himself playing his guitar. He discovers that if you were to film the guitar being played from the inside of the guitar, with a high frame rate and a very bright background, the camera is able to pick up the oscillations of the guitar strings as they are strummed. An intriguing video, as you would think this kind of thing is only possible with the help of some crafty video editing or a super slow motion camera.
