The Sexiest Sax Man: Sergio Flores

Heywood — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:16:37 +0000

There is no denying the sexiness of the saxophone– or, for that matter, saxophone superstar Sergio Flores. This is an early candidate for Blogadilla’s Best Viral Video of 2011:

I should note, as ~~numerous readers~~ savvy commenters have pointed out, this is clearly inspired by SNL’s The Curse- a classic in its own right.

Is Ben Folds Merton? (Chat Roulette Piano Improv Dude)

Heywood — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:35:00 +0000

Yes, folks: Blogadilla tech guru Steve B had it right when he claimed that Merton of Chat Roulette Piano Improv fame was none other than legendary keyboardist & singer Ben Folds. Here, Ben confirms our suspicion with a live “Ode to Merton” as part of his Charlotte, NC show the other day:

UPDATE: One step forward, one step back.

As you can see, I initially posted that Ben Folds was Merton, but this may not be the case. New York Magazine reports that this is not proof that Ben = Merton, but simply an instance where homage is being paid. I guess looking at it now, this proves nothing about who is who, and what is what. Nevertheless, enjoy Ben Folds’ take on Merton & Chat Roulette Piano Improv:

Update #2: Exclusive Interview with Merton– it’s looking less like he’s Ben Folds. But still great to get a bit of backstory on the newest Internet Celeb:

While the video for Lady Gaga + Beyonce’s hit Telephone is generating all sorts of its own buzz, Blogadilla favorite Pomplamoose just 1up’d the Fame Monster – and all of her embarassing product placement – with a slightly different take on the pop hit:

If you haven’t seen it, Gaga’s video is here. And for more Pomplamoose, check out their YouTube Channel or their MySpace.
