Mrs. V. introduced me today to StSanders's sublime overdubbed guitar hero "shreds" videos on YouTube, which are painfully funny.  A quick blog search shows that I'm about two months behind the bloggerati curve, or "fashionably late" as I like to call it.  I think my favorite is "Carlos Santana shreds"--

Sounds like me playing Guitar Hero on expert mode!  Go ahead, follow the YouTube suggestions, watch them all, you've got nothing to lose but time and bandwidth.

These clips remind me of the classic "Jazz Club" skits on The Fast Show, hosted by Louis Balfour (John Thompson)--

Nice!

We don't get HBO, so Mrs. Veneer and I are not watching Flight of the Conchords, the comedy series about the band of the same name ("New Zealand's fourth most popular digi-folk paradists" [sic]).  But we are totally digging their videos on YouTube, especially "Business Time:"

Aw, yeah!  Business hours are over!
