Video Round-Up: The One-Man Band Edition

Video Round-Up is a weekly post collecting an assortment of videos from around the web. Whether they be music videos, creative viral marketing, just plain cool, or just plain ridiculous, they will all be found on Video Round-Up.
I once saw a guy that called himself The Amazing Elephant Man. He wore an Elephant Man Halloween mask, had a headset microphone, played a mini-accordian with his hands, a cymbal with one foot and a kick drum with the other. It was a strange but amusing concert, but not exactly what I would pay good money to see. In the age of electronics, however, the idea of the one-man band is completely revitalized. Just take a gander at some of these examples.

Insufficient Funds: Stop Podcasting Yourself

Insufficient Funds is a weekly post in which we feature a free, or very close to it, piece of media that you can enjoy without overdrafting your bank account. So if you're low on funds, stay tuned to Cerebral Pop every Friday morning.

Podcasts are one of my favorite forms of entertainment as I'm in my car at least five hours a day, 365 days a year. And it's only natural that with all of that podcast listening time, my taste in the form of entertainment that I hold so dear has slowly turned from talk of video games and movies, to just plain comedy shows. I used to listen to at least one video game podcast a day, but now my iTunes list is filled with stuff to make me laugh; And Stop Podcasting Yourself is one of my favorites.

Insufficient Funds: Borrowtime Films

Insufficient Funds is a regular post in which we feature a free, or very close to it, piece of media that you can enjoy without overdrafting your bank account. So if you're low on funds, stay tuned to Cerebral Pop every Friday morning.

Stop Podcasting Yourself is one of my favorite podcasts around, and one of the things I like best about it is the guests they have on. They all seem to be friends of theirs from a local scene of comedians or other creative types. So when one guest, Lauren Martin, mentioned a website for some films in which she'd appeared, I decided to check it out.

Darren Borrowman, the filmmaker behind the collection of short films found on the Borrowtime Films site, is certainly one of those creative types. He's shown off an impressive range as well, from humorous, to silent film homage, to disturbing and creepy.
