Someone Is Crazy vs. Heroes
Damon sends in this video for Someone Is Crazy using clips from Heroes. I wish I watched this show – I was kind of excited for it when it first came out, but then I somehow missed the first couple of episodes and never got back on the train. I suppose I’ll probably Netflix it when it’s out on DVD. Until then, I will enjoy it by watching Damon’s video.
Union Hall Videos
Those of you who missed the show in Brooklyn on Tuesday missed a rare opportunity to see a ukulele in the wild. Kristen, the winner of the Code Monkey Remix Contest, uked for me on Code Monkey and Tom Cruise Crazy (on which I played a low quality acoustic bass guitar very poorly). Despite all my joshing about professionalism, please note that it was I who made the most mistakes – that is how I roll.
More West Coast Details
So I’ve now got actual venues lined up for San Diego and LA.
San Diego: House of Blues, 5th Avenue Stage, February 20th at 8 PM.
Los Angeles: Hotel Cafe, February 21st at 11 PM. Sorry so late, but you LA people finish putting on your makeup until 10 anyway right?
So now the details for the west coast tour can now be found on my shows page. Blog that shit, a-sap!
Donnie Davies
Someone forwarded me a link to this video, supposedly by Christian pop artist and reformed homosexual Donnie Davies. I was pretty sure this was a joke (and a funny one), but I confess that it was a close call – it’s like looking at one of those optical illusions where first you see two faces and then you see a vase. Then I followed some links to his ministry site, Love God’s Way and was further convinced. There were just a few too many red flags and pink shirts.
Before I post stuff like this, I always like to cover my ass and make sure it’s not something really old, some hoax that everybody already knows about, a viral marketing thing that I’ve fallen for, etc. But it was hard to get any definitive info on this one. I went to Wikipedia and found that there was once an article, but it had been deleted for a number of reasons, basically because nobody could tell who this guy really was. Spooky.
A little more googling and I found a few debates and theories. And then finally this post from blogger Joe My God seems to put the matter to rest with a few links to some convincing evidence including a myspace page and a photo of a sketch comedy group: Donnie Davies is actor Joey Ogelsby. Thank goodness, my bullshit detector still pretty much works.
I have to say, it’s a subtle hoax – you almost never get a winky moment that tips you off. But the internet always knows. And now I’ve spent an hour doing this when I should be working. Thanks a lot Joey Ogelsby.
