Chat Roulette Improv Piano Session
Mar 20th
The latest viral video to hit youtube features Merton, a piano and Chat Roulette. Those who don’t know what chat roulette, it’s the new internet video chat sensation where you randomly access people’s web cams and chat/act/dance or in what seems to be the norm ask to see someone’s lady or man bits. While most people F7 their way through to find girls, Merton entertains his voyeurs with his piano (not a euphemism, I promise). Singing songs about his viewers, taking requests and general improving has made him a YouTube sensation with over 3 million hits already.
While most people are speculating that Merton is in fact Ben Folds in a Kenny outfit you should just enjoy his humour and awesome piano skills. I’m particularly impressed by his ability to pull a Fireflies cover from absolutely nowhere. Then again you never know how he cut and paste the clips together.
Enjoy

Plan B – She Said
Mar 16th
Those of you from the UK will remember the old Plan B. His first single a few years ago was raw, aggressive and he was touted (as any white rapper is) as the UK Eminem. Somewhere, somehow over the years he’s changed his image completely. Long gone are the vests, baggy pants and rap led aggressive songs and in comes a smartened up, suited up and melody-led artist. The 2010 Plan B is less Eminem and more Robin Thicke, the transformation is unbelievable.
To prove my point I’ve posted both the new song (She Said) and one of his oldies (no more eating). Try and spot the difference!

Darwin Deez – Radar Detector
Mar 16th
The first time I saw this video my reaction was WTF!? I’ve now watched it a good few times but I still can’t tell whether the video is a joke. The video is the new song by New Yorker Darwin Deez and is a compilation of the most random scenes including Deez dancing about looking like a white skinnier cross between Rick James and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 days of summer & 3rd Rock).
The song itself is a very upbeat track which surprisingly grows on you as any poppy song should. I can picture this being a great summer track, It’s probably not everyone’s cup of tea but give it a go (or two) and I’m sure you’ll love it.
Now, just try and sing it in your head without picturing skinny white guys body popping.

Phoenix – Lisztomania Sung by a Choir
Mar 14th
Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus was probably one of the albums of 2009. With the whole Glee/Choir thing now in fashion, I thought I’d post a cute version I saw on YouTube of their hit single Lisztomania. As a double-ly treat, I’ll let you decide between the Piano and Guitar version sung by the PS22 Choir.
Sit back, enjoy and lets awwwwwwwwwww together……

Pony Pony Run Run – Hey You & Walking on a Line
Mar 14th
The French are known for their fine wine, cheese, love of frogs, Eric Cantona and for past couple of decades Electronica. With offspring such as Daft Punk, Justice, Yelle, Vitalic & Eiffel 65 you wonder how the French can pump out Electronica artists faster than Tiger Woods can find mistresses. Well they’ve done it again.
This time the band is “Pony Pony Run Run”, they’ve been around for a while now and their biggest single “Hey You” first hit the charts late 2009. Having heard them recently at a house party I felt they deserved a shout out.
Two clips for you today, the first is “Hey You” and the second is “Walking on the Line”.
Enjoy!
