Just when you think you've seen just about everything there is to see, some asshole comes along and plays a beautiful song on a head of broccoli. Dammit!

Well, um, that's certainly something you don't see every day.

Pretty cool, actually. Thanks.

There's a joke about Broccoli and wind here somewhere, but it's just out of reach.

Oh, and, "Bigu-siizes!" is a great band name.

Writers at publications other than The Stranger would recognize this as Angels We Have Heard on High.

I'm all floret when it comes to music! Wonder how many it took figure out the positioning of the holes.

It's an ocarina. If you're that particular kind of music nerd, you made one out of clay when you were in high school (and had to convince your ceramics teacher that it wasn't a bong...). They're pretty easy to make - the hard part is tuning them, as you have to get the ratios between the hole sizes exactly correct.

Now I want to see an ocarina out of okra.

Even better, this guy has a wife and a child. That woman deserves a medal.

OMG, I love it.

Making one would likely double the amount of shit I'd catch from my friends for being vegan, but it might be worth it.
