NOTE: This post will be continuously updated as I gather more stuff / suitable material occurs to me.  Last updated July 6, 2008, for that Epic Daily Mail Article. 

Right, New Year.  Right.

+ A more detailed compilation of Peter's posts 2002-2004 (slightly less Carl-centric), edited by yours truly

Once you're completely obsessed and looking for profound character study, these do the trick:
- Peter (audio interview): go here and click on "Naar Eer En Geweten - Libertines (uncut)" (under Exclusief).
- Carl (video with Anthony): go here and click on "Carl Barât wordt steeds beter in door het leven wankelen" (under Festival Nieuws), or download the interview here.

If you've watched that, and you want some cheering up, go look at these. :)

If you've never walked through a snowstorm while listening to the cadenza from the third movement of Shostakovich's Violin Concerto: I highly recommend it.  Remarkably spiritual experience.

Aaaaaaand we're back to discussing gay rights.

I've fallen across so many WTFs in my unsuspecting travels that I felt a need to compile:

Figure Skating Oddities.

Brian Joubert doing... something.  In his underwear. On French TV.

A Flamenco dancer and Stéphane Lambiel... Why? Why?

Stéphane Lambiel and Jeff Buttle being interviewed on Japanese TV.  Cringeworthy.

Stalking Stéphane: He sings and He dances.  Almost makes you want to go to one of the afterparties.

Johnny Weir prancing about in a yukata.  Actually he seems high in most of this video.

Alexei Yagudin and Johnny Weir in Russia...

Gwendal Peizerat singing on French TV.   So bad.

90% of posts are private, 5% friends-only, 5% public. Ah well. I suck that way.

The first two readings or so are extremely disorienting, but after that the student adapts and picks up on recurring references: "Oh yeah, Lord Blackstone. Intimately acquainted with him. Wait - I'm sorry. I thought you meant the romance novel character..."

Hey, this test guessed that I like Nabokov. :D

( The University Text )

N-Naomi Watts is playing Narcissa Malfoy?  D-Draco is the love child of Jason Isaacs and Naomi Watts?

Also, rather self-explanatorily:

Jack Davenport eating cookies.  (Unfortunately, in my opinion, the "plot twist" doesn't really work - the continuity is too good...)

Jack Davenport as an aristocratic hamster.

Jack Davenport ranting about naked women.

ETA: Jack Davenport is a Queen fan and met Freddie Mercury when he was 13!  I think this may explain the "Gay clubs offer better dance music" line.

It's sort of like an emblem for my life philosophy - Why did s/he choose [insert name of Orlando Bloom character or equivalent]?  I simply don't get it.

The screencaps are from here (Ripley only, because the colours are the nicest).

Click on the thumbnails to enlarge.

ETA: Photobucket doesn't allow pictures larger than 1024x768 for free accounts, so at this point the 1280x800 versions are kind of pointless unless you resize them yourself...  Actually it works now, yay. :)

Mr. Ripley, really!  What an absolutely abominable way to treat your British musician boyfriend!!!
