The Metro says: "Wannabe rappers should check out the rap beatbox choir. Part of channel 4's street summer season looking at the contemporary urban arts scene, the choir is made up of different people rapping, human beatboxing and singing on an original track called We are the People. The choir needs more people, so if you have any of the required skills you can join in and add your part to the song. The final video will be broadcast on channel 4."
John says: "This is pretty awesome, a load of videos play at once like instruments in an orchestra, you can mute individual videos or mute all but one video. Impressive"
Official verdict: Excellent

The Metro says: "How would you like to be in a film with your best friends? This interactive site allows users to add photos and tag themselves and up to nine friends, who then appear in a short scary movie trailer. The site is accessed through Facebook and once users have added their characters to the movie, they can choose the thrill factor, which controls the intensity of the acting. The results are spooky."
John says: "This is totally brilliant! Seriously."
Official verdict: Brilliant!

The Metro says: "Google recently had a doodle banner on its home page of a musical instrument, celebrating legendary guitarist and singer Les Paul's 96th birthday. The doodle encouraged users to figure out how to play popular songs using the ten guitar notes available. This new site has a gallery where users can share songs they have worked out. The gallery displays the letters or numbers users can press on their keyboard to recreate these melodies. Songs featured include Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark, Kraftwerk's The Model and S&M by Rihanna."
John says: "Good for a giggle."
Official verdict: Pretty good.
Overall verdict: A flipping right good week!
