He'll make you feel good, I promise. ^_^
Listen free here, and then download his album, The Reckless General, from iTunes!
And I'm in the mood for a little bit of blasphemy. How about you?
(This is not for you religious folks. Unless you have a sense of humor and can laugh at yourselves. ^_^)
Does anyone get the feeling that all I talk about anymore is Tim Minchin?
It's a funny interview when you realize that the interviewer is intentionally being dense. :D
Plus, I just love how Mr. Tim looks in his glasses.
And finally a note to any Angry-Feeters down under who actually read my blog - I hope you're all getting your Tim patches and that you enjoy them and love them as much as I enjoyed and loved making them. Perhaps in the new year I'll be able to hand around another new design! We can all put them on sashes like we're girl scouts who have achieved our merit badges! (Do you guys even have girl scouts in Australia? Or how about in the UK?)
This is audio-only, but it's a NEW TIM SONG!!
And of course, it's hilarious. Give it a listen!
Have some Tim Minchin - He'll make you smile. :-)
Wouldn't it be great to have just unlimited fundage?
I'd use my unlimited fundage to travel down to Australia, so I could go to the Melbourne Independent Film Festival where the documentary about Tim Minchin's rise to almost-worldwide-fame (he'll get there, trust me!) is being shown for the first time (Rock 'n Roll Nerd). And then I'd go and live in London for a while and see his new show, Ready For This?, multiple times. I'd become one of his stalker-fans! MAS. Except I'd also use my unlimited money in whatever ways I could to make sure he gets all the notice and attention he deserves and desires. Cos he's brilliant and the world really needs to love him as much as I do.
And part of me is really scared of him making it big in a place like America. Because the U.S. is huge and scary and its "fame machine" might well indeed make him famous but I'm afraid of what it will do to Tim himself. It tends to mess people up inside, doesn't it? But maybe he'd be okay. It'd give him lots of good new material for his comedy act, at least.
And if you have no idea who I'm talking about, check out my Interested Person's Guide To Tim Minchin, which contains links to YouTube vids and his websites and all that jazz. Beware though - you WILL get hooked!
Love him, and spread the love to others. Cos he deserves every bit of it.
So since I can't shut up about him, I've had people (exasperatingly) ask me where they can find out more about this guy.
Because I'm an organized sort of person (ha! that's such a lie) I've created this quick list of places where you can see him perform his stuff, in an order which I believe will charm and enthrall you to the point where whenever I burst into song or interject "TIM MINCHIN" tourette's-like into conversation, you will nod sagely and understand from whence comes my undying devotion.
Step the first: The YouTubes:
Peace Anthem and Canvas Bags (this is where you will realize that he's also SEXY as hell)
Step the second: Now that you've SEEN him, and you're intrigued, head on over to his website, peruse his News area and the photos.
Step the third: You can also find out more about him at his Myspace page. He'll even friend you if you friend him. He might even respond to you if you post something in the comments.
Step the fourth: Now, finally, you've succumbed and you are as obsessed with him as I am. Well, at the very least, you can't get that damned song "Canvas Bags" out of your head. From here, you can join the forum of his crazy-addicted fans at Angry(Feet) . You will realize very quickly that Tim attracts a very intelligent, funny, and extremely good-looking crowd of fans.
Step the fifth: From his website, go to "Stuff" and purchase the CDs "Darkside" and "So Rock". They're recordings of a couple of his live shows and they're very hilarious. You'll get to hear his between-song commentaries, which is where you really realize just how intelligent and great Tim is.
Step the sixth: If you have a DVD-playing computer, order his DVD, 'So Live'. It's PAL format (which is what the Aussies use) so it probably won't play in your DVD player, but our computers don't seem to mind what format it's in. It's really outstanding to see Tim perform all the way through his show. Those talented piano-playing hands!!
And finally, now that you're completely indoctrinated and can't get enough... spread the word! The more people in the U.S. (and everywhere) the better for him! 'Cause he'll make more money and have the motivation to write more songs and hey, if we're lucky, he'll even come back to the U.S. so we can all see him IN PERSON. That would just rock my world so hard.
Ta da, congratulations, you're a Tim Minchin fan! Aren't you just so smart and beautiful?
And most recently, it's because imagining Mr. Gaiman, Father of the King of Dreams, creator of worlds, Mr. Scary Pants himself, sitting in a blackberry-scented mountain of bubbles during his bath. Ah, god, can any image get any sweeter than that?
Oh, right, there's the panda. There's not much that can beat Papa Neil with the Panda.
Good lord, how can one man be so infinitely cute?
I am going to Comic Con in San Diego!!
Oh holy cow. John Barrowman! Neil Gaiman!! Joss Whedon!! The cast of Heroes!!
I think I may have died and gone to fangirl heaven!
Stand back -- my head may just explode.
