Yes, it’s 3:45AM. Yes, I have 3 finals coming up in a few hours. I’m just taking a bit of an Internet break before I get back to some homework, studying, etc for the coming day.
I was browsing the hundreds of TotalFark links, and I saw this one leading over to Hipsterpad. The article is all about talented musicians on the internets, and one of the videos there really caught my attention.
The band is The Wrong Trousers, and this video is them performing “Video Killed the Radio Star,” originally by Buggles, on a bass, harp, and mandolin. By the looks of them, they’re all quite young, but they’re rather talented. Without further ado, here’s the video:
Their style of music might not be quite your cup of tea, but I got a kick out of it. I did a quick Google of their name to see if I could find anything else by them, and I was dismayed to find out they had a Myspace page. For those of you who know me at all, I hate Myspace. In fact, I pride myself on having only been to two Myspace pages ever. Well, two before tonight. I was curious enough to check them out.
Their Myspace page is what I always imagined Myspace ought to be, before it was–choose your own meaning adventure–perverted by the masses. They’ve got an album coming out in December, and they have three singles available to listen to. Whether you’re into Myspace or not (and trust me, I’m not usually), I’d go ahead and urge you to check them out. Who knows? You might actually like it. I know I do.
So, you had your 3 finals yesterday. Is your brain fried now? ;-)
Sarcastic Mom: Hah yeah, I’d say so. Despite not sleeping that night at all, I think my finals actually went really well. Also, yes, I got an email about this comment. ;-)
WOW – I hope you survived all of the finals, will have to check out the band when I get home. They have blocked myspace at work :-(
Charlie: I survived! I have one more tomorrow, but it’ll be cake. But, do check out the band! I think they’ve got a great sound.
