Tom's L.A. Mini Doc, Part 1

Aha! Finally, an embeddable version has cropped up on Youtube. Yep, I get a little bit funneh when I'm jet-lagged too, but now I can take comfort in the fact that I don't imagine my blood disappearing down shower drains.

And the Irish/Scottish manager dude at the end is very, very bald- which is why Tom cuts in with the "Can I have some hair?" comment. Heee...

Coming soon: his What Do You Think Of? with Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls. You know, her. Hilariously, she's about as intellectual as she appears- yep- but Tom manages to be funny while completely respectful. And speaking in German. You'll see. Once I find it on Youtube, anyway.

Unreleased song!

Ha! I found a very old, unreleased Keane song. I mean, this is ANCIENT. But still quite sweet and very, very Beatles-y:

Michael on Idolatry!!!

Ah, finally. Yep, Michael Slezak has completely joined the Cult of Bruce. This is just a fun trailer-like thing for Michael upcoming Idolatry performance, which they preview. And as you might have guessed, the first lady is the you're-sooooooo-smaaaaaart lady. Yes, THE lady. You can kind of tell.

DAMN.

Well, I couldn't find the super-exciting thing I was looking for, but I found two less interesting videos to make up for it. Grrr.

Well, first we have Keane playing a tribute to Genesis at a VH1 concert. The low notes at the beginning were shaky and the song stinks, but it's...interesting. I got a very McCartney-ish vibe from Tom during the "nananana"s at the end. This was at the beginning of 2008, right when Keane had their quasi-reinvention...I think it was the debut of The Haircut and The Leather Jackets.

Also, I can't quite place that guy doing the introduction...hm. Seems a touch familiar, though.



And just for giggles: THIS is how I'm planning to make my performance at Sunday's recital stand out. Really, really stand out. BANG ON, MAN.

Funny Pictures

Just a few funny pictures today. Remember this epic Bono photo?
Well, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!




My god. Terrifying. And this picture just made me laugh for a really, really long time...the dude's face...

Engrish!

Wow. This isn't even engrish. Nope, this is just a FAIL.

And this too!


This, on the other hand, is real, authentic engrish. All together now: "Just jiggle it a little." The best part is that the French says something like, "If you need to turn to the right until resistance", which is pretty engrish-y too.


Hee. Troublesome!

Great song, too, from way back when (Hopes and Fears).
