Smooth Criminal goes classical
My friend Allen Klosowski knows how much I love Michael Jackson, so he tweeted me a link to this video this morning and now I feel the need to share it through every possible social media channel. These two dudes, Stjepan Hauser and Luka Sulic, play Smooth Criminal in a epic cello battle. Definitely check this out!
I am in love with the SING video
The latest My Chemical Romance video is up on Youtube now and it’s stunning. If this video was a dude, I’d marry it.

The Psycho shower scene is my absolute fave, but embedding is disabled on YouTube, so you’ll have to watch it there. It starts about 4:40 in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTyHPh-9kD8
I used to watch this movie all the time when I was in elementary school and practically memorized it. I would estimate that I’ve seen it over 100 times.
A few more after the jump…
