Cyriak Harris’s brain-melting Cows, Cows & Cows (top) interpreted through the medium of modern dance.

Youtuber, speedylegs100 sez:

By the way the video stops playing in the background because in a theater it would have taken away from the dancing and people would have started watching the movie instead of the dance.

Fine. Or you could give the dance video a 4 second head start, then start the Cyriak video, then mute the dance video and watch both. You’re welcome.

Boo. Just boo.

Amy Winehouse – on drinkwatch and back on stage after a mere week of rehab earlier this month – was mercilessly booed at a concert in Serbia on Saturday night in what one local paper described as “the worst [concert] in the history of Belgrade.”

Tickets: €40 each. Average monthly salary in Serbia: €300.

Oh dear.
