Mark P. has collected a random assortment of YouTube clips for one of his recent blog posts which features some great live performances.
I'd seen the one with the British cell phone salesman singing opera before and it's definitely worth checking out (although admittedly, the editing goes a long way to increasing the impact – the intro clip of the sad sack-looking guy, crowd reaction shots, judge reaction shots.)
In other news from people I used to know, Brandon Manitoba will be home to a new book and writer festival later this year and Corey Redekop's “Shelf Monkey” has been selected as the book that everybody in Brandon is being asked to read. How cool is that?
