Last term in Analytical and Historical Bibliography, another student introduced us to this fantastic video. It's a remix of footage from the Apollo Launch mixed in with "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson. It doesn't sound like it should work, but it totally does. Bennett starts the video out with Clarkson's song at regular tempo, but increasingly slows it down as the clip progresses. By the time you get to the end, you almost can't tell which song is playing. The music lines up beautifully with the images and it will blow your mind.

It's one of my favourite remixes.

I've watched it more than a dozen times since last term, and it always gives me shivers.

Check it out!
