Sign Stealers Comedy

Thursday, 1 July 2010

If you've got a bit of time this website is well worth a look: Angry people in local newspapers, so much anger at such small issues!

I love my tennis and the match between Nicolas Mahut & John Isner was erm amazing I guess is the right word. Good to see Isner on Letterman: David Letterman thoughts that went through John Isner's mind during the 11 hour tennis match

huge fan of Victoria Wood so always like to list her clips when I can: Victoria Wood - Fatties With Attitude!

hey everyone, sorry not been posting much, but feather from mundofundo has been having a break and I've been working hard on Saver Scene - UK money saving forum and maybe watching Springwatch a little too closely and trying to work out the Chris Packham, Springwatch, Cure song titles in each episode, loving springwatch as ever! Now the comedy links for the past week or so:

Barenaked Ladies - The Big Band Theory Theme Song -I get to see these guys perform in Newcastle, the English one, in September, can't wait!

Graham Norton - Ladies' Loo
Russell Howard's Good News - Daily Mail Cancer Song

if you have any comedy hit me up in the comments section or come over to the Chat Scene @ Saver Scene and post it up there, always love suggestions. regards gav.

I thought we'd have a little emo today to mourn Type-O-Negative's lead singer Peter Steele, of course he was more goth, but I figured we'd lighten things up with Bill Bailey:

Bill Bailey - Emo Song

other Bill Baily clips
Have I Got News For You - Chips
QI - How many moons does the Earth have?
QI - Could Jesus Walk on Custard?

sorry to see Peter Steele go, one of the finest singers!

Today I thought we could check out a few of the Music Videos over on MundoFundo, but before we do that you have to see a newly updated sign site: SignSpotting it's brilliant, lots of great fun signs. Now onto the comedy vids and music:

This first one is a must see: Home Taping is Killing Music, it was put together by internet service provider (ISP) about the whole downloading illegally. I hate the whole argument that downloading is killing the music industry, whenever I see a new band listed for a gig near me I download a few of their songs; If I like them I go to the gig, if I don't like them they get deleted, if I really like them I try to buy their CD at the gig. I'm spending more on music now at 31 than I was at 17, but it's more gigs than CDs so giving the band cash rather than to the record executives. The record labels may end up being owned by more bands that make their money from touring. Be better for music, as we won't be force-fed crap the record labels think we should buy.
