Somewhere between Canon in D and Tenacious D is this:
At our wedding we had a string quartet instead of an organ. It was probably my favorite aspect of the whole ceremony, bride excluded. Canon in D was our wedding march. But not this version.
I see him playing the guitar, but I hear backup and drums. Are they hiding under the desk?

I'm a very casual fan of the series, but I gave Civilization VI a look to see what was up with this nuclear war simulator.

My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2012.

I teach myself music composition by imitating the style of various videogame soundtracks. How did it turn out? Listen for yourself.

If you look closely enough you can see Neil Peart on his left shoulder.
That was WICKED!
I love the bit at 3:50ish onward when he goes into various different keys. I’ve seen this before through Metafilter, but love listening to it every time.
There’s a whole CD out there by an act called Liv and Let Liv that does the Canon in D as surf-rock instrumentals. “Surf-rock” as in “Sleepwalk,” not as in “Walk Don’t Run.”
That was very cool — thanks for sharing. :D

I’ve always been a fan of P’s Canon.
