This may be the funniest reaction to being arrested of all time. This Canadian man was arrested and after a short drunken attempt at arguing his innocence decided to perform his rendition of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody for the Royal Canadian Mountie Police (RCMP) that arrested him. I love how he gets more and more into the song as he goes along and ends with a cheeky stab at the RCMP. His over the top emotive cover may be the greatest cover version of any song ever.
Ron Burgundy made a “surprise” visit to the Conan O’Brien show recently and after an amazing jazz flute solo; some pretty weak scripted dialogue with Conan; and some pretty funny comments on Conan’s looks he made the huge announcement that there officially will be an Anchorman sequel.
While I am a huge Will Ferrell fan and like most people I loved the original Anchorman, I have a very uneasy feeling about this sequel. However I will undoubtedly go watch it with as much blind optimism as I can muster. Here is hoping it can live up to this.
Here is a bonus music post for today. This is Bon Iver covering Feist’s The Park live on Triple J. Amazing,
I am a big fan of Cold War Kids. We Used to Vacation is one of my favourite songs of all time. I have been listening to the latest album Mine is Yours a lot recently on Spotify and it’s amazing. This is them performing Royal Blue off that album live on Jimmy Kimmel. Enjoy!
This is a really funny parody infomercial for Old Navy T-Shirts. It stars Anna Faris and Mr T. It has some really great one liners and is well worth watching.
This is Davendra Banhart performing Long Haired Child in the Gobi Tent at Coachella in 2009. I love it. Davendra Banhart may just be the coolest man alive.

This is the Guinness St. Patrick’s day commercial. This clever campaign was created by AMV BBDO. It features border collie Roy at the St. Patrick’s day sheepdog trials; however rather than rounding up sheep he is tasked with rounding up a group of guys on a night out and helping them to avoid the lure of staying home, an Indian restaurant, ladies and a call from the missus to make it to the pub and enjoy a celebratory Guinness. Its worth watching for the commentary alone.
