Remember Calvin Harris’s Humanthesizer video?
It’s predictably going viral, moving towards 100,000 views since it was released yesterday.
And, just as predictably, Harris is getting criticized for being sexist for his use of bikini-clad models.

This is a must see – Calvin Harris may have created the ultimate electronic music controller – bikini clad models painted with conductive ink.
Harris performs a version of his new single Ready For The Weekend on a unique human synthesiser- the Humanthesizer.

Synthtopia’s Goddesses of the Keytar are an exclusive group of women that are doing what they can to keep the frequently maligned keytar at the forefront of popular music. Read more…

OK – who’s got the best caption for this? The best I could come up with was “Two Girls, One Organ”.
I know you can do better than that!
Bonus points if you can identify the vintage organ!
