OF COURSE you can play a kickin’ dance tune on a watermelon!

I had no real plans for the weekend, but after watching this video, I feel like running out to Bearss Groves to buy a watermelon and a kiwi fruit (a.k.a. the fruit formerly known as the Chinese gooseberry):

That’s French electronic music artist Mezerg, whose videos aren’t just vehicles for catchy 4/4 dance numbers, but are interesting performance art pieces.

Here’s another video of his, where he’s jamming on the theremin, using it as a combination volume control and low-pass filter:

You can see more of his videos on his YouTube channel and his Facebook page.
