Ikea is having a contest (you know those Swedes with the crazy furniture) through Youtube (under community). The contest I believe is called Kitchen Rhythms. The winning submission will win a "all you can grab" kitchenware at Ikea. Basically you have to make a video making rhythms in you kitchen. I figure most of us have kitchens so perhaps you may be interested in submitting something.

This reminds me of one of the all-time coolest short films I happened to catch at the Cleveland International Film Festival .

A gang in a Volvo have staked out a flat; when its occupants leave to walk their dog, the six break into the place. One keeps his eyes on a stopwatch: they have only ten minutes before the couple returns. Instead of stealing things, the gang goes from room to room making fascinating percussive music with found objects: first in the kitchen, then the bedroom, the bathroom, and the salon. Cabinet doors, pot lids, light switches, a pill dispenser, a lamp, books, and a vacuum cleaner hose all add to the suite in four movements. The drummers keep the first three rooms tidy, but what will the flat's occupants make of the hurricane that hits the living room?
