Vancouver’s outrageous community chorus, The Broadway Chorus, only has two nights left for DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH!<\/b>, a two-act Broadway extravaganza showing at the Waterfront Theatre on Grandville Island. It’s apparently a fun mix of old classics and new hits from current alt-trendy shows like Spamalot, Urinetown, and Wicked. Adam<\/a>, who’s in it, used the word “hijinks” in his write-up, which is a pretty good recommendation if you’re into wacky musical theater. Tickets are $16, $11 if reserved in advance from 778.322.7182. As always, doors at 7, show at 8. <\/p>\n

If western musical theater isn’t to your taste, allow me to present Koreans sublimely breaking, scratching and beat-boxing a cover of Pachelbel’s Canon in D<\/b><\/a>, (hosted on the always awesome Transbuddha<\/a>)<\/i>. With thanks to dear Larry<\/a> for digging it up, I’m wondering if anyone has any leads on whatever else this group has done. I love dignified cultural mash-up’s. I think taking stylistics that evolved from the South Bronx in the 1970s and combining it with a gayageum cover of a baroque german composer is possibly even more brilliant than Dr. Fu Manchu, rocking out on Casio synthesizers.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Similarly beautiful to the Korean clip is the riveting UK promo for the tv show LOST<\/a> set to Portishead and enchantingly directed by David LaChapelle. (LaChapelle is the man behind Rize<\/a>, the recent must-see hip-hop documentary). It reminds me of Massive Attack’s video for KarmaComa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Course, for sheer priceless rock and roll<\/a>, the winner this week is Superheros<\/a>. It’s a horrible video with horrible music that with a premise that seems straight out of Spinal Tap, with the band done up like gun-toting soldiers out hunting playboy bunnies. It screams for Women’s History students to set fire to the directors house, but by the end I was laughing too hard to care. <\/p>\n
