Once in a blue moon...

No, I'm not talking about my butt on a cold winter's morning. I'm talking about how there are thousands of amateur musicians posting clips of themselves almost playing music on YouTube. For the most part they are, well... amateurish.

But once in a very rare while, you get something like this....

The future of music is in good hands, lets just hope he doesn't simply end up taking a job with the county. Shove that up your arse American Idol! (In case you're wondering, it is an original.)

**I'm adding these two as an afterthought for Jenni In KS who seems to think Aussie Rock consists of Ian Dury and the Blockheads (actually a  British band) and ACDC. This is a bit more up tempo than the other clip so if you want to stay mellow, you may want to skip it.

The sound is a bit out of sync, and fairly low fidelity, but you'll get the idea...

That was Cold Chisel.

And finally, Jenni since you have has such broad musical tastes, I thought you might like this one...

Now in case you think I'm being a bit snarky (which obviously I am), here's the comment that inspired me to post the last two clips.

"Gotta say I don't really dig these two songs (WT: Both by Ian Dury).  Danny came over to watch the last video and said, "I don't think I like Australian rock."  Then I reminded him of ACDC.  I chose not to remind him of Air Supply, but that's pop anyway.  I thought about turning the sound down and just watching for the crazy facial expressions, but I think I would have really missed out on that second song.  And the drummer in the girly tank top and pink tights?  Wow."
