Accordion Guy vs. the Gangbhangras!

I subtitled my own Bollywood flick, which I hereby name Accordion Guy vs. the Gangbhangras! Unfortunately, I was only able to subtitle the scene where the evil leader of the Gangbhangras and his lieutenant plot against our hero. The “sitar vs. accordion duel” scene will have to be done later.

You can either see the movie complete with sound and dialogue, or just look at the stills below.

Subtitle your own Bollywood flick!

I have no idea what it has to do with soft drinks, but this site for the soft drink Fanta lets you do just that. Here’s one where a fan of the online comic Achewood subtitled a movie using dialogue from the character Roast Beef

Kickass Karaoke: a preview

A scene from the upcoming post about last night’s Kickass Karaoke…

Photo: Go ahead, miss, touch my accordion. I don't mind.

“Go ahead, miss, touch my accordion. I don’t mind.” A pocket full of karma and a squeezebox full of tunes goes a long way.

I’ll post the rest of the photos later today. In the meantime, if you need to read about last night’s debauchery right now, may I suggest Meryle’s blog?

Synchronicity rears its head again

I mention John “Captain Crunch” Draper in a blog entry, and soon afterwards, Slashdot’s asking for questions to ask Captain Crunch! And yes, like me, the posters made allegations of creepy predatory behaviour.

It’s synchronicity like that that makes me ask WWJD — What Would Jung Do?

Doc Searls on accordion

Doc’s already run the photo on his blog, but why let him have all the fun? When he was in Accordion City last month, he had a little blogflocking at Toronto’s nicest pool hall, the Academy of Spherical Arts. I blogged the event here, but haven’t yet posted the photo of Doc with my dress accordion (as opposed to the street accordion) and my infamous hat:

Doc Searls! A-list blogger, Linux Journal editor, Cluetrain engineer and all-round sweet guy.

(and hey, while we’re posting gratuitous photos of the accordion and various Internet celebrities, why not the one with me and ubercool computer book publisher Tim O’Reilly?)

Photo: Me, the accordion and Tim O'Reilly. Taken at the O'Reilly P2P Conference, February 2001.

Me and Tim at the first P2PCon. Back when Napster was alive and CARP was just a fish.
