A plethora of Three Amigos clips

"In a way, all of us have an El Guapo to face someday - for some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big dangerous guy who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be the actual El Guapo!"

I'm on a big Steve Martin buzz at the moment so expect more KT-80 cliporamas coming soon.

Beardyman Swoonerama

Continuing my policy of being completely enamoured of Beardyman and his Mad Skillz check out a recent show: Beardyman & Friends' "Complete and Utter Shambles": it's pretty hilarious and full of the usual ridiculosity:

Chris Morris' terrorist comedy: Four Lions

Chris Morris (Brass Eye, Nathan Barley) has written and directed his first film - a satirical account of 4 hapless young British muslims attempting to become jihadis:



It's getting mixed reviews but I love Chris Morris more than is probably healthy and the movie was shortlisted for the Sundance Film Festival World Cinema Narrative Award, whatever that is. So I can't wait to check it out. You should come, dollsnatch, it's going to be totally fucking Mexico.

1980s game show 'Star Quality' scares bejaysis out of me.

Star Quality was an English 80s game/talent (ahem) show hosted by Gyles Brandreth (remember him? you will) and an Amazonian named Beverly. They only made 6 episodes and you can see why - although there is a pretty outstanding Thriller impression about 4 mins into it:



I saw that video on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe - Brooker is hilarious -and not just for co-writing Nathan Barley (http://www.trashbat.co.ck/) with Chris Morris. Although any excuse to post it - Embedding is disabled but check out Nathan Barley's Sex Rap- you could learn a few sweet moves. And some kindly youtube user collected all the episodes of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe in a playlist for you to peruse if you so desire. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours if you get snowed in. Or really lazy.

Beardyman's Time Travel Top Tens: 1997

More ridiculousness from Beardyman - stuck in the past with his malfunctioning sound sampling time machine - the flux capacitor will only work if the top ten is inputted from his destination year, and it's not even a year he wants to go to anyway:

Chromeo : Public Health Announcement

More quality Chromeo - Playboy sent them out onto the streets to warn people about a new disease that's causing people to like crappy music . . . such as Coldplay. (This video is also note- worthy as it's the first time I've ever heard P-Thugg's real voice. Usually in interviews and the likes he uses his vocoder. Apart from that one time we met him at a gig and he was all ' No, I'm not going to ask Dave One 'will he be with your mate.')




(And let the record show I was looking up Chromeo and not Playboy. )

Classic Fresh Prince - Pick-Up Lines

(P.S How do you find Will Smith in the snow? Just look out for the fresh prints. Boom Boom! I'm here all week folks)

(bowie in) Space

Space is a french electro space disco band from Marseilles that were around in the late 70s. They wore space suits on stage so even before I heard the music I thought I might be onto a good thing. They sold over 10 million records back in the day and their stuff is being re-released on Nang Records. You can download 'Carry On, Turn Me On' remixed by Architeq here (YSI). I'm a big Lindstrom fan so it's great to hear some old school space disco.


I noticed too that the cover of the album above looks really like a part of Flight of the Conchords' video for Bowie In Space. Yes that is a nerdy thing to notice but it gives me an excuse to post this video:
