I think I've seen him before, but I'd no idea he'd done anything like this. Reminds me a bit of the old Flanders &amp; Swann song, Horoscope. Can't find it online, but the lyric went: <i>Jupiter's passed through Orion, and come into conjunction with Mars. Saturn is wheeling through infinite space, to its preordained place in the stars, And I gaze at the planets in wonder, at the trouble and time they spend. All to warn me to 'be careful', in 'dealings involving a friend'. </i> Excellent! I think I've seen him before, but I'd no idea he'd done anything like this.

On top of that, he's a really fine musician, too. What impresses me most about Tim Minchin is his ability to slip in a barbed lyric and make it sound as though he's paying you a compliment.

I had never heard of this guy before, but I just spent a few hours watching youtube videos of him. "Storm" is my new skeptic's anthem. Too bad he's got no upcoming gigs in the US :/ This is totally brilliant. I had never heard of this guy before, but I just spent a few hours watching youtube videos of him.
