Here's something mildly interesting - an interview with Mike Myers' lookalike brother. At first, I thought it was Mike doing one of his hilarious characters, but no such luck.
Paul Myers has written a book about musician Long John Baldry - who, coincidentally, appears in the Beatles/Shakespeare video we posted earlier today.

The Beatles perform Shakespeare
Labels: go watch it
From the 1964 British TV special Around The Beatles - here are the boys performing a scene from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. (Note: the clip contains one of those annoying annotations that has become the bane of YouTube... so feel free to switch it off before playing.)
Around the Beatles featured the band, and a handful of other acts from that era (Cilla Black and P.J. Proby) "miming" (lip-synching) to their latest hits. The Shakespeare skit appears to be the highlight.
I believe that's Trevor Peacock (Jim Trott from Vicar of Dibley) at the beginning.
And if you haven't figured it out, this clip was colorized.

Twiggy
Labels: go listen
I heard this today on Underground Garage and naturally assumed it was a modern "retro" act using the name of famous supermodel Twiggy.
Imagine my surprise when the DJ announced that the singer WAS indeed famous supermodel Twiggy - back when she was attempting to launch a singing career in the swinging '60s.
I think if somebody could rescue her vocals from underneath that ridiculous instrumental, we might be on to something.
The song is called "When I Think Of You". I couldn't figure out how to embed it, and sadly there are no YouTubes yet. So check it out at the above link, and let me know what you think.

Wall of Shemp
Labels: hey look
Here we have The Wall of Shemp - an entire site dedicated to my favorite Stooge - Shemp Howard.
Without doubt, the extensive WAV collection ("The Soothing Sounds of Shemp") is worth the visit alone!
