You Better Stand at the Kanye West Show or Else…
Kanye West is talented. I’ll give him that. He’s also a dick and his stage show sucks. I know. I tried to watch part of it one year at Coachella. It took me all of one song to decide that, hey, this sucks. Let’s get on to another stage. That doesn’t stop people from going to Kanye’s shows though. It doesn’t stop Kanye from being a dick either. Here he’s doing a show in Australia and he just...
These Elephants Dig Bach
Here’s violinist Eleanor Bartsch warming up for a performance of Bach Concerto for Two Violins with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, WI. The Circus World Museum is exactly what it sounds like. A giant circus museum, but with live performances and so forth. Until today, we did not know that those performances included orchestras that played something other than clown music. But… ah,...
Huey Lewis and Weird Al Do American Psycho
This is by no means new, but I just stumbled upon it yesterday and my god is it awesome. Huey Lewis takes Christian Bale’s role in American Psycho, while Weird Al takes Jared Leto’s. Yes, it’s the scene where Patrick Bateman kills Paul Allen, which is also the scene where Bateman sings the praises of Huey Lewis and the News’ album, Fore. In this version, Lewis sings the praises of the movie American Psycho...
Pipe Guy Plays Techno Music with Pipes and Sandals

And it sounded like techno, which is exactly what he said it would sound like. This live show took place in a mall in Adelaide, South Australia on Sunday. Ironically — and no offense to any DJs — but it probably takes more talent to play...
Brian Williams Does Baby Got Back
You remember when NBC Nightly News Anchor Brian Williams did Snoop Dogg’s Gin and Juice, courtesy of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Well, he’s back and this time he’s doing Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Baby Got Back. He brought some friends to give him a helping hand, as well. The greatest part of these has to be the knowing Brian Williams sitting expressionless at the anchor’s desk at the end. Classic! Share...
Sir Mix-A-Lot Did Baby Got Back with the Seattle Symphony
This is totally the perfect pairing, isn’t it? Rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot and the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Of course they got together and did a symphonic version of Baby Got Back. Like, why wouldn’t they? Seriously, the Seattle Symphony had this series where they perform with popular musicians who happen to be from Seattle. It’s called Sonic Evolution. It’s kind of like when Metallica performed with the San...
