All Things Considered recently covered Israeli viral VJ Kutiman.   His claim to rightful fame?  Mashing up musical Youtube clips of musicians of variable talent in divergent settings.  People singing to their isight and hokey musical instructional videos and locked-off piano rehearsals and old school keyboards.  The result is a fun, marvelous swampy soul-funk groove video album that has to be seen (and heard) to be believed.

Currently, he’s the third most popular Israeli on Youtube.  The late-night crooners and percussion practicioners he appropriates are now getting thousands of hits.  In his Youtube comments, fans claim he has invented a new genre.  I’ve certainly never seen anything like this.

Kutiman’s wonderful album website.
