The link isn't available in Canada...but I think this is the same performance. It's a great cover!

Sorry about that! - I thought a YouTube link would play anywhere. Your video is the same performance, so thanks for posting it. :) I think it's a great cover, too! Love it.

After today's XKCD I thought I'd give it a listen...

His love song to cigarettes. This just about sums up everything about the album. He's from BC btw. I love the guitar sound he has.

Great song, great album. His new single should be out now too. Going to look for it now.

Here is a link to Trent's new single: http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/hear-new-nine-inch-nails-song-came-back-haunted/

Any other NIN fans out there? What do you think of the single? Personally, I don't really like it.

This is a shameless plug for my own nephews. Youtube has more of their clips, including some great originals and even a Frank Sinatra cover.

Well, so much for that attempt!

Again, a shameless plug of my nephews! Please add some hits to their other youtube clips, particularly the cover of Frankie. The Chairman of the Board should never be forgotten!

Readers like Kimmy may appreciate the "essence of cuteness" at about 2 min 30 secs into the clip.

Thanks again, Waldo but it would seem that once again I failed to understand you. Appreciate your effort.

Much simpler! And it works!

Thanks, Dog!

just for completeness... I'll touch back on your initial attempt: not sure where you got that address from, but it includes a whack of the extraneous 'stuff' I mentioned you'd need to get rid of. Again, just include the video ID (Hikfh1TMdEg) in the simple link format I mentioned;

e.g., http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hikfh1TMdEg

(I mentioned including the media tags as you used to need them on MLW... it looks like not any more). I also didn't bother mentioning the shortened url option (that you're using in your successful use) as it presumes one exists.

Well, I DID edit out the "fluff" EXACTLY as it appears above and it did not work, Waldo. I tried a number of different approaches. I had no success until I followed Dog's tip.

However, you were the first on the scene to try to help me and I do appreciate that.

Your nephews are awesome, Bill!

Thanks, CC! I would love to see them achieve some commercial success. I think they have worked long and hard enough to deserve it.

They have 2 original songs, Good Alien and its later sequel, Bad Alien. Many of the scenes are of an alien walking the streets of Toronto. Oddly, no one else on the street seems to find it odd!

Bad Alien certainly could appeal to a wide audience. They remind me of The Arrogant Worms.

Well, if I am going to be indulgent I might as well post another. I particularly liked the video editing. They show that a low budget can be offset with creativity.

This is a Beduoin Soundclash cover.
