I remember watching Jackie Coogan's grandson Keith Coogan act on The Waltons back in 1979/1980. He played the character "Jeffrey" and went under the name Keith Mitchell. I found this video that shows him and Jackie Coogan towards the end... I remember that Keith Coogan also made a guest appearance on an episode of Fantasy Island in 1980. The resemblance to his megastar grandfather when Jackie was that age is unmistakable. |

This is one of my favorite pieces of music that I often play to clear my mind when I want to write...

The latest from Jagger the drummer from Australia. Little Jagger makes a big noise in front of Barney's Beanery in Los Angeles and gets shut down by a "wanker" :-)

Multi-talented Rhys Yeomans, he sings... He dances... He's appeared on TV and in the musical Billy Elliot... But perhaps most impressive of all... he has a talking dog  |

I guess if I'm posting British boy singer videos I really shouldn't forget Ronan Parke, what an incredible voice he has...

Another of my favorite YouTube singers is Blake Binchy. At the moment he's performing covers but give it time and I'm sure he'll start writing his own stuff soon.

Another change of pace to another interest of mine, aviation. Here is a dramatic video of a jet ingesting a bird into one of the engines on takeoff, and returning to the airport for an emergency landing. It was a very dangerous situation handled with great professionalism by everyone....

Elizium by Fields of the Nephilim is probably the best album ever made anywhere in this or any other universe. As a concept it is breathtaking and it culminates in two linked tracks 'Wail of Sumer/And There Will Your Heart Be Also.' Recently the band performed both tracks live and included them on a DVD called Ceromonies. Here they are...
And if the music wasn't good enough lead singer Carl McCoy has yes that are almost as good as Harry Spear.

For anybody who isn't already aware of them Sigur Ros are an Icelandic band whose music is probably best described as soundscapes filled with child like wonder and intense emotion. Their songs usually start slowly and build to an intense climax. The vocals are often in Icelandic but that isn't a problem because sometimes the band write songs in an imaginary language too, their intention is for the listener to become immersed in the overall soundscape rather than being locked into listening to lyrics. The videos which accomplish Sigur Ros are often highly imaginative and as emotionally intense as the music. Here are a selection of some of my personal favorites...
Sæglópur
Glósóli
Vidrar Vel Til Loftarasa
Untitled #1 (Vaka)
Something rather special...Varúð by Sigur Ros, video by Ivan Noel, for the Mystery Film Experiment. Ivan Noel is an independent film maker who has made such classic movies as 'In Your Absence' & 'Brecha'

Time for some music in the form of two entertaining videos from Johnny Orlando AKA Johnny O
The first is called 'Bad Time' and it's a parody of 'Good Time' by Owl City ft. Carly Rae Jepsen...
The second is a straight cover of 'Diamonds' by Rihanna...

I had never heard of Johnny Orlando before, but am impressed by his videos. Besides the two you posted I like this one as well...
Never Give Up
I gave him some support by buying his music on iTunes. He's good.
