Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly parody The Little Drummer Boy

This is awesome. Marry Christmas from Funnyordie.com. John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell as Bing Crosby and David Bowie, re-enacting the famous "Little Drum Boy."

Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy with Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly from Will Ferrell

Original:

Primary 1 - "Princess"

This is very Bowie-esque and I love it! It's Primary-1's "Princess":


I wanna play drums on the water!

Mercury Rev

Mercury Rev is today's musical find. Their sound is unique and mystical. I'd say, the calm wonderment of Coldplay + the industrial electric sounds of late 90's David Bowie. They're often compared to the Flaming Lips, for good reason, considering lead singer Jonathan Donahue played with them from 1989-1991. Mercury Rev's recently come out with two cd's. The first was "Snowflake Midnight," and the second, Strange Attractor," is free to download on their web page: http://www.mercuryrev.com/

"Snowflake in a Hot World" (no music video, but my fave of theirs)
Can be dl'ed free and legally here:


"Butterfly's wings" (another track from "Snowflake Midnight"):

Funny Faces

This is a really cool caricature sculpture artist I found. The likenesses are hilarious, and ontop of that, they are sculptures too! It's by an artist named David O'Keefe. His works have been seen on Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Mad and Time. He's also done work in advertising too for clients such as Coca-Cola and Waffle House.

5 Things you probably didn't know about David Bowie:

5.) His real name is David Jones (to not be confused with Davy Jones).
4.) He went to school with Peter Frampton.
3.) His right pupil is permanently dilated because when he was young, he got into a fight (over a girl).
2.) David Bowie is also a renowned painter (he also played in "Basquiat" as Andy Warhol). Check it out at Bowieart.com.
1.) He's not all glam rock!

David Bowie is probably my favorite musician. Funny story though, no one knows of his later career. Sure in the 70s it was all glam rock, but later he found a new sound. This is the time period I like best of his. In the 90's he had a more contemporary electronic rock feel. No skin tight spandex or face paint here guys. So to get the word out there and hopefully spread my enjoyment, here are a few of my favorites of his from the last 10-15 years.

"Dead Man Walking" My favorite song, period. (Side note, this song was in the movie "The Saint." It was played on Val Kilmer's cd player):


"Jump They Say" I want a suit like this:


"Survive" (cool a surreal video):


"Little Wonder" (weird, but still cool)":


"Never Get Old" (from his newest album "Reality"):
