Here’s something really cool that I haven’t seen done before. I mean, i wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t the first time anyone’s had this idea, but it’s the first time I’ve personally seen it.
Pop Levi, a band I have now officially heard of, caught my attention by doing something with the viral / YouTube format that you just can’t do with any other format. They posted a video of them performing a song, in two separate channels. They ask that you open these two links in separate browser windows, and follow the video instructions to synch them up.

I’m not going to apologize for ruining the surprise, because I purposely sat on this for two internet days (roughly 2 months irl) to let it percolate, and if you haven’t seen it by now, it’s on you.
Props to Pop Levi for hacking the format.
About Skwerl
Kevin "Skwerl" Cogill was taught his first computer programming language by his Mother's marijuana dealer at age ten. His first job involved hustling TicketMaster lines on behalf of a New Jersey concert ticket broker at age fourteen, followed by a job in graphic design shortly after graduating high school and trade school simultaneously in 1998. He built his first website in 1996 or so, and continues to do things the way they should be done, rather than the way everyone else does. He's a bit of an asshole, but he's fiercely loyal to his friends, and to fellow fans of good music.Born and raised in Philadelphia, Skwerl now resides in Los Angeles.

It’s pretty much what the flaming lips did but with a video.
