Thriller Jailhouse Style

Prison in the Philippines has got to be a very different experience than in the UK, can't really imagine this going down in Barlinnie Prison, Glasgow.
1,500 plus CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines at practice! This is not the final routine, and definitely not a punishment! just a teaser.

Tandi Iman Dupree : I Need A Hero

One of the best entrances I've seen, apparently this is from the Miss Black America 2001 contest. Unfortunatley Tandi is no longer with us.

Jack and Meg's One Second Gig

Sulking faced Grinch-a-likes the White Stripes turned up for a 'secret gig*' in St. John's, Newfoundland and played one note (reportedly a C-sharp) took a smug bow and walked off. You can watch the wacky funsters on microgig the toob here.


*So secret the cround had been there for hours, and the press and the local radio station.

Craig McLachlan - Mona Video

Craig McLachlan of Neighbours fame performs the classic hit Mona. Christ alone knows why I've posted this, for some reason this hellish clump of ear rape was rattling round my head today. Does anyone remember his cappuccino song from Neighbours?

NWA Day 'Help The Police'

This is one of the best bits from the BBC comedy show 'Rush Hour'

'Straight Outta Compton' Cover by Nina Gordon

Nina Gordon (Ex Veruca Salt) and her folkadelic version of the NWA hit single. As you may imagine this is chock full of the swearing. You can check out her website at www.ninagordon.com

Devo 'Satisfaction'

My 2nd favorite band from Akron, Ohio for no reason other than I like it.

Kermit Covers 'Hurt'

Biffy Clyro - Saturday Superhouse

Shite video but a good song. Looks like venice beach to me, could be wrong.

VW's Cabrio commercial ft. Nick Drake's Pink Moon

Sigur Ros : Glosoli

Peter Pan does Iceland, click the image for video (requires Quicktime).
No, I've got no idea what they're singing about either.

Iggy Pop's Rider

Rocks most wirey, Iggy Pop, has a rider almost as long as his career* and it's riddled with sheer Spinal Tapesque brilliance. An example of this is in description of how Iggy's dressing room should be made to "look less like a typical rock & roll dressing room," the rider suggests that promoters "just let someone loose with a little bit of artistic flair...Er, do you know any homosexuals?
