All I have to say about this one is…

He came from outer space to save the human race!

…and his name is Klaus Nomi!

For those of you have haven’t heard that name before let me give you a little background info:

Klaus Sperber was a German man who traveled to New York City in 1972 and began work as a pastry chef. He got involved in the art scene, and took singing lessons, but his singing style was said to have no place in modern music, despite criticism Klaus pressed on and began manifesting the now legendary character of Klaus Nomi!

Below is the first ever video I saw of Klaus, I found it on YouTube and it just blew my mind!

As I have a ‘knack’ for the truly bizarre and awe-inspiring!

Today I stumbled onto a great little video from Charlie Brooker‘s show Newswipe.

It kind of ties in with what I was talking about in my post “How To Watch The News & Stay Sane!

In this video Brooker rips on American media, namely the goofy talking heads that appear regularly on the entertainment channel, Faux News…er…I mean Fox News…which isn’t really news at all…it’s more like opinionated emotional ear/eye-rape.
Nothing about Fox is news worthy. They’re more about scripted politics and a fake personalities.
EGO EGO EGO, under the guise of ‘faith-based’ American Patriotism!!!

Destroy The EGO!!!

Thanks Charlie! I really needed a good laugh!

…Fox News anchors are all bunch of TOOLS! Fair and Balanced my ass!

I Am The Walrus by Jim Carrey [Video]

I couldn’t believe my eyes(or ears) when I heard this song.
I had no idea this version of I Am The Walrus existed!

Enjoy!
