Nigel Kennedy vs Andre Rieu
One is arguably the world’s greatest violin player. The other one sells millions of crappy CD’s and puts on a circus like show.
I’m sure Andre is a nice guy, but he’s giving classical music a bad name and makes my toes curl. This video clip looks like a piss-take ‘Fabio’ commercial from a comedy show. Eeewwww…….
From everything I’ve heard, Nigel Kennedy is an eccentric ratbag, and I have had the honour of witnessing his genius and touching his hand once already in this life and I’m going to see him again at the Opera House in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait!!
Somewhere over the rainbow
How gorgeous is this little 6 year old girl. I wonder what happened to her. See, Simon Cowell can be nice when it’s warranted!
Poking Bears
People, don’t poke bears. They get angry, turn around and scratch your eyes out and try to eat you. Just play nice and no-one gets hurt. Try to take on a bear, and the bear usually wins.
The Bitch Went Nuts
At the recent Sydney Opera House Ben Folds concert, he did a fake version of The Bitch Went Nuts that was put out to trick people who were being naughty and downloading his new album before the release date. Here’s the fake, amusingly illegally recorded on a mobile phone at the Opera House (it wasn’t me!).
Rondo Alla Turca like never before
Two spanish dudes on one guitar playing the third movement of Mozart’s Sonata Sonata K311 in A Major. Just brilliant.
And while we’re on the topic of music & Mozart, violinist Nigel Kennedy is like the reincarnation of Mozart, Andre Reiu is like the reincarnation of Elvis Presley or the Spice Girls……
Whale Meat mmmmmm….
Being the huge Wil Anderson fan that I am, I dusted off the telly and tuned in to watch The Gruen Transfer this week on the ABC. It’s a show all about advertising. Two experts were given the challenge of producing an ad to sell Whale Meat. Below is the result – one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time.
Enjoy!
My own personal spin on this ad would have been to have the cows farting (producing all that methane gas which is bad for global warming) and pitch whale meat as the eco-friendly alternative to killing poor Hamish and his 200 friends. Perhaps I should work in advertising. Oh hang on, I do!
Will It Blend
This post is just a quickie to test how the YouTube plugin I just installed works. One of my favourites on YouTube (and there’s tonnes of them) is the ‘WILL IT BLEND’ videos, where the manufacturers of a particular blender like to show how robust they are by blending things like hockey pucks and iPods. Here’s the blending of 6 Bic Lighters. Enjoy.
