I love this Reggie Watts video. He is a human beatbox/singer extraordinaire/one man band. Just shows you what a little ingenuity and a few recording devices can do. He also has a new album out.

Sometimes sweaters can be trimmed with no adverse consequences. A sort of splice here: the turtleneck part of a light merino sweater was neatly snipped off just above the neck seam. The severed piece was ideal for fashioning two sleeve extensions -- thumb holes and reattachment optional.
