"Shakerleg is the most intense street performer we’ve ever seen or heard. One look at Shakerleg’s wildstyle, stick-free, bare-knuckle drumming and you know he’s more concerned with this moment than a long term career in drumming." (From Current TV.)
"
Shakerleg" is just one reason why I'm hooked on
Current TV. There's
more.
If you're not familiar with Current TV, better get *cough* current.
It's Al Gore's baby. Launched in August 2005.
Current TV consists of 3:00 -7:00 videos, or short stories/ideas they call "pods."
These pods are generated from the audience, hence they're called, "Viewer Created Content." We're seeing a lot of this "viewer generated content" lately. I think that's good. Now, the stories are as diverse as the world. Before, the stories were as diverse as the studio walls.
So, here's the gig:
1. Short videos.
2. From around the world.
3. Inconsistent production values.
4. Gloriously wrapped in compelling stories.
5. Rotating every few minutes.
6. On every imaginable subject.
Cool.
