In honor of the 25th anniversary of the mockumentary that launched the genre, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean & Harry Shearer have announced an "Unwigged & Unplugged" tour where they will sing songs as both Spinal Tap and the Folksmen (from "A Mighty Wind"). For more information go to the Unwigged & Unplugged site. As my own tribute, I'm posting the "Stonehenge" scene from the Spinal Tap film for "TubeDay."

"TubeDay" - Aimee Mann's Christmas Show revisited
I hope at least some of you took my advice and went to the 3rd Annual Aimee Mann Christmas Show at the Wiltern this past Saturday because it was a terrific show. Like last year, she did a series of films and this year's were a spoof on "A Christmas Carol." The clip below includes one of those films with the "Ghost of Christmas Present." I hope the rest of them will be available on YouTube soon! Other clips from the show are availble, so I hope you'll check out some of those as well.
If you did go to the show, feel free to comment below!

"TubeDay" Video - Aimee Mann Christmas Show
This week's video is also a recommendation for a great Christmas Show--Aimee Mann's Third Annual Christmas Show at the Wiltern (tickets are still available). I've been to the first two and they were fantastic. The video below is a particular favorite of mine, "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" with Aimee and Grant-Lee Phillips. I also highly recommend Aimee's Christmas Trilogy, a film she showed in three parts at the 2nd annual show. It's hilarious!

"TubeDay" Video - Marina V
Marina V is playing in the UCLA Powell Library Rotunda (second floor) for fee tomorrow, October 15 at 4pm. No reservations are needed.
Russian-born pop artist and songwriter Marina V has been called an intriguing blend of an angelic voice, hooky melodies, thoughtful lyrics and fresh chord progressions; an unusual mix of Tori Amos, Jewel and Paul McCartney, but "with her unique phrasing, breathless, smoky-sweet and compelling vocals, she's got a sound all her own" (Artist Studio Magazine). Keyboard Magazine called her "one of the most promising singer/songwriters of the year," and the L.A. Times said she's "hauntingly beautiful." She co-writes her songs with Nick Baker and is managed by David Krebs (Aerosmith, AC/DC, etc.) Her live performances are considered emotionally intense and hypnotic.
The video below is from a show she did at the Kodak Theater early this year.

If you are interested in the show, follow the link below to see the information from the YouTube "more info" link. Maybe I'll see you there!

I hope you enjoy our new feature on the Blog. I plan to post what is hopefully an entertaining or interesting YouTube video every Tuesday. Rest assured, they won't all be "library humor" but I just couldn't resist this one! It's called Librarian (by Haunted Love). Enjoy!
P.S. In case you don't catch it, the "librarians" are played by the Haunted Love band members!
