Pauls is Dead – The Rotten Apple

Since everyone else is away today for the holidays around here, I’ve been posting some wacky stuff for anyone who might be stopping by after their turkey dinners. This is the last video thing I stumbled across. The first part is below. It’s an ongoing series by a YouTube member named “iamaphoney.” The series is called “Paul is Dead – The Rotten Apple” and each short “episode” takes a look into the whole Paul is Dead myth. These videos are entertaining, not becuase of all the stuff the Beatle fans already know about this tale, but just the way the clips are put together. Many of them can be downright disturbing at times – in a good way. So do check them all out. Once you watch a couple, you’ll be hooked, I promise.

Less Talk, More Music: Pet Shop Boys on “Live with Regis and Kelly”

Originally, I’d planned to post the Boys’ 1991 appearance on “The Tonight Show,” when, in mid-performance, Chris Lowe (a.k.a. the one who doesn’t sing) got pissed off about not getting enough camera time and left the stage. Yikes. Tantrum much? Anyway, the performance in question got yanked from YouTube before I could get it onto ESDMusic, so instead I’ve opted to spotlight the guys in a more recent…and more unlikely…appearance.

I’m always impressed with Regis Philbin as a talk show host; whether he really knows what he’s talking about or not, he always has that offhanded casual manner when he’s introducing someone that convinces you that he might actually be a fan of the person he’s getting ready to bring to the stage. Somehow, I suspect the amount of PSB in his CD collection is lacking…though perhaps not as much as it’s lacking from Kelly Ripa’s, since she seems to have no idea that they’ve done anything since “West End Girls”…but neither host’s knowledge (of lack thereof) of the duo affect this lovely piano-driven version of one of the guys’ sweetest and most sentimental songs.
