Mr. Niggy Tardust offers up a video for the polarising but really quite brilliant cover of U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday”. Bubbles’ friend Johnny from The Wire makes an appearance.

No doubt, Mr Williams will be back in Ireland in May as he’s playing ATP in the middle of March. For more characters from The Wire in music videos, this thread on Thumped has loads. Did you know Pryzbylewski was the elevator boy in The Hudsucker Proxy? Yeh, I’m a Wire fanboy now, thanks to Jim and everyone else’s constant recommendations.
Speaking of videos, I saw the most indulgent, over-blown, self-important 13 minute long, short film/music video ever last night. 30 Seconds to Mars – “From Yesterday”. Emo actor and general tool, Jared Leto will hurt your insides.

Sunday Bloody Sunday. It really encapsulates the frustration of the day, doesn’t it?

I did warn you Tibi! 🙂
saw that 30 Secs thing the other day. Possibly the funniest video ever. What a bunch of chumps!
Imagine the ego that dreamt that one up! Sweet christ.
The HBO stuff is just about the only stuff I’d watch on the sh!tbox: The Sopranos, The Shield, The Wire, Flight of the Conchords etc. I’d also very definitely recommend the rather masterful Deadwood too. The dude from Sexy Beast is great in that!
Jared Leto really, really needs his head kicked in.
Twenty,
May I refer you to that scene in Fight Club where Leto does indeed get his head kicked in. It should sate your appetite.
Oh, he’s one of those guys, is he? Excellent.
Just need to find a copy on Betamax now
Betamax.. heh heh.
Congrats on the Book Twenty.
Hansard and Twenty for the win!
