It's our weekly YouTube scoop
1) A guy called Donovan is Tina Turner's number one fan. For seventeen shows during her 2000 tour he was down in the audience, doing all the actions. So one night she invited him on stage. What happens next is the first recorded case of a fan stepping through his bedroom mirror and having his dream come true.
2) Time's a cruel mistress and alcohol can be a bit harsh too. There's a lot of elbow action between this John Martyn performance of "May You Never" and this 'un.
3) As a rule when Piers Morgan gets out his depth he's too vain to realise it. But when he found himself with Dame Edna onone side and David Walliams on the other his discomfiture was apparent in every bead of sweat.
4) Amiina are the latest to be admitted to Rob Fitzpatrick's home for distressed maidens. Here they "give it some saw", as he puts it.
5) We've linked to this before but there must be loads of people who've never seen little Jade, strapped into her car seat, singing along with Magma. Bless. Really.
6) Breathtakingly cynical "team building" video from Ernst & Young.
Don't bother watchin...
Don't bother watching the Piers Morgan clip. It's neither entertaining nor informative - so boring, then.
The Amiina clip was...
The Amiina clip was taken on their 2006 support slot with Sigur Ros (unless I'm very much mistaken - it looks like the same set as Manchester) and they were, as you can clearly see, fabtastic.
Re the John Martyn c...
Re the John Martyn clip: I shall now cross 'Cropredy' off my to do list if that's representative of the 'Chat' during songs. ARGHHH!
God. That Ernst & Yo...
God. That Ernst & Young video is flesh- crawlingly awful. May that gurning, arm-waving, female pub singer's endowment policies be even more worthless than mine.
Thanks again for you...
Thanks again for your weekly Jamboree bag of pleasures. Do keep it up. More fun, even, than perusing '100 Albums That Changed My Life' (...please, you're kidding) that came in the post today.
May I offer up the following from the dusty trunk in my computer's attic?
These cats know how to do a Destiny's Child tune properly.
Keeping up the Nick Lowe profile, spot him in this brief Stardust clip.
Calm down with Judy Collins & Pete Seeger looking at Bob Dylan's Dream
Then, rock out with his younger & differently spelt brother Bob Seger doing one of his 'clanky old' tunes, before he grew the Cap'n Birds Eye outfit.
There's hidden treasure all over the place. You just need the right tools to uncover it.
'Fun' school assembl...
'Fun' school assemblies, anyone? I seem to recall boy band MN8 dropping by. A local deejay came to shamelessly plug his shite station. Peter Andre was meant to appear, but cancelled a good (very good) five times.
But *this* -

- lucky bastards.

Lord above, that Ernst and Young thing is almost as bad as the Bank of America version of One that you referred us to a while back.Is this a new trend in corporate America? Its vomit inducing to say the least - hope it doesnt take off over here.
John Martyn may have put on some timber but I think his voice is actually better - not sure this video is a good example because of the background noise. I saw him last year and he was in fine fettle.
