Chanson du Jour

Youtube wasn't working for me all day. Sorry this is so late. One more doozy from The Liberal Menace (the artist formerly known as i blog).

la chanson de mercredi

i must confess i'm quite the anglophile. and though i don't dress the part, i'm a goth girl at heart. so it's no wonder that i love this next band.

everyone ??? please enjoy iggy pop's song "the passenger" as performed by siouxsie and the banshees (posted by 1darkdreamer)

this isn't the official video, it is a tv spot filmed at a resort in penrhyndeudraeth, north wales (say that 10 times fast - if you can even begin to pronounce it) which was also the locale for a fantabulous show called "the prisoner". (hence, the scenes of patrick mcgoohan running from the bubble)

also, in honour of wednesday/hump day i'd like to treat you guys to a little snippet from my favourite british transvestite comedian/actor, eddie izzard. it's called "cake or death" (posted by ekulmas123909)... most his stuff is unpostable as it contains the f-bomb, but if you can handle that sort of thing, check out "death star canteen" - probably my favourite bit by him. "englebert humperdink" is great, too but i don't know if that is considered postable by the anti-blogger.


The Passenger
by Siouxsie and the Banshees


And the comedic stylings of Eddie Izzard (who is tragically best known, I'm assuming, as the genius dude in Ocean's 12 and 13 - although he was great in those movies)


And the PG Rated, but very funny Engelbert Humperdink

Well, better late than never. That's what I always say. Youtube was not working on my work computer. Good tune. Love Iggy Pop, especially The Stooges. Eddie Izzard is a genius. Strange sense of humor, but very funny. And yes, he was great in the Oceans movies, but his standup is greatness. Siouxsie and the Banshees are great too. They are major influences for a lot of musicians I love. Much love

Two thumbs up for Siouxsee. I liked that song. I can see Iblog dancing around the house in black goth clothing,holding the hair dryer for a microphone singing that song. It kind of warms my heart to picture that. As for Izzard, that guy seems to be pretty funny too. In reference to the previous post from anti-blog I have a new comedy routine for izzy.
Radiohead or death???
let's see, I'll take death! final answer.
