Today's Webtip: The History of the Typewriter

an audio odyssee featuring Michael Winslow.

I seem to be a bit late to the party on this one, but it was just so amazing, I had to share it.

I'm sure you all know Michael Winslow. He's that guy who played the guy who made noises in Police Academy. He also played the guy who made noises in Space Balls. Actually he just generally makes noises. And is funny. And is an excellent beat boxer.

And he is probably one of the best guitarists never to play a guitar. Really. Brings a whole new meaning to the idea of air guitar.

But one of the most mind blowing pieces I have seen so far has to be his history of the typewriter.

Thanks Christian.
