Bill Bailey is one of my favourite comedians. In the world. He’s such an incredible musical talent. Here he plays possibly the world’s first performance of Dueling Sitars, and then some “hindi-indie” – tackling Radiohead’s Creep. Indian style.
Brilliant. Amazing.
Here’s a folk song.
And a Killers take down.
And a U2 take down.
And a quite amazing burst of piano…
Tim posted this video of a guy doing Jesus Aerobics. Not the first of its kind. NBut the worst of its kind, maybe.
What is going on with that background?
This has simply gone too far. Christian parody songs almost always come off badly on YouTube.
Stop it. Ok.
This is very nice.
So I might resurrect YouTube Tuesday, but on Friday. Here’s today’s submission.
When internet viral marketing sensations collide.
What a compelling case for gold investment.
Mr T likes gold because the Bible likes gold. He also carries a maximum of 45 pounds of gold at a time.

Apparently he does the “Jesus Lean” and we should too…
“Lean back, then snap. Kick the Devil in the tooth”
Bounce for the king people. That’s the real act of worship. Forget anything Romans 12 might suggest.
You can get B-Shoc, the artist here, to come along to “revolutionise” your youth ministry.
It’s late. I’m tired. I need energy. And steel drums.
I am thoroughly enjoying Angus and Julia Stone’s Down the Way at the moment. Its great music to write to, and the Dire Straitesque, or Knopfleresque, guitar solos are an interesting mix with their folky ennui. It looks like Mumford and Sons were a slippery slope into folk.
Here are a few of their songs if you’re uninitiated.
And a couple of nice live versions to finish:
Staying edgy when you’re already out on the edge as the “caped crusader” is pretty tough. Here’s a chart of Batman’s attempts at “relevance” or “contextualisation.” Who says you shouldn’t change your logo with the times… (other than Superman).
Here’s a video identifying when and what versions led to the changes.
