Paranoid Android Covers....combined!

Covers of Radiohead's Paranoid Android on Youtube come in many numbers and forms. And OHADI22 combined most of them in a single video.

We've all been there!

A recommendation - Angus & Julia Stone.

As you're probably aware at this stage I'm a big Angus & Julia Stone fan, but somehow this managed to slip under my radar, enjoy!!

Penny Floor

Our floor is made up of over 340,000 pennies…all laid by hand. We were able to accomplish this Herculean task with very cheap labor from our friends and family. It only cost us pizza, beer and part of our sanity.
Within a weeks time we all had a severe case of “penny fingers”, but there had been no study on the long term health hazards so we continued on.
Penny Floor Facts:
*Oldest penny was 1908
*All the pennies weigh approximately 2,000 lbs

My Bubba & Mi

My bubba & Mi are three goodsounding girls with goodlooking songs. No, wait - They play 82 strings altogether, on instruments that are 329 years old, all in all. Their story is one of charm, chance & chicken, you’ve probably heard it before: Bubba moves into My’s house by chance, makes her sing with her. They come up with songs of their own, some kind of lullabies from the countryside. An Italian hears them, again by chance, and is struck by their charms. He brings them to Italy, with help from wwnbb. They eat chicken. They make a record, called How it’s done in Italy. And then go on a nice, long Europe tour with it. They are now gazing at broadening horizons. Charming ones. Their plans include: the world, the wide, the winter, good whisky, hawaiian waterfalls, (prison tours), pickling, singing lots of people - I mean lots – to sleep, and (more macaroons).

When Lady Gaga approved Weird Al’s “Born This Way” parody, “Perform This Way,” she may not have had any idea what she was unleashing.

Big Man....has died.

Clarence Anicholas Clemons, Jr. (January 11, 1942 – June 18, 2011), also known as The Big Man, was an American musician and actor. From 1972 until his death, he was a prominent member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, playing the saxophone.

Clemons suffered a stroke on June 12, 2011. He underwent two surgeries after which he was in serious, but stable condition. According to Rolling Stone Magazine, he had been showing signs of recovery. However, Clemons died from complications caused by the stroke on June 18
Bruce Springsteen said of Clarence Clemons: "Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band."
