beat boxing + cello?

I saw this guy, Kevin Olusola, perform live last week during a college visit and was so amazed that I just had to share it with you all! His cello skills are jaw-dropping and then he just randomly starts beat boxing? Insane.



Oh and by the way, he's going to Berklee College of Music next year, although he's pre-med and fluent in Chinese (he majored in East Asian studies). Nbd.

Outside Lands Lineup Coming Monday

San Francisco's 4th annual festival in Golden Gate Park, Outside Lands, will be announcing its lineup this Monday. The event, taking place August 12-14th, looks like it may top last years lineup. "Ranger Dave" has already leaked some lineup clues on his Twitter. We know for sure Best Coast will be playing, as the clue "ranger dave is not on the right coast, but the west coast" is pretty straight forward. Try to figure out the others on the festival's account. 


Cut Copy and the Decemberists are rumored so far, and many online blogs speculate Wilco and Arcade Fire as headliners. Check this website for rumor updates.
