Video/MP3: Homeless Mustard Sings Radiohead’s Creep, Has Great Beard

Somebody give this guy a contract.

This is Mustard. A homeless guy who just appeared on a Sirius XM Radio show who’s jackass hosts don’t need any more press. See, messing with the homeless is one of their recurring bits  (i.e., offering one a whole pie and then stomping on it in front of them). Doesn’t matter if they give ’em cash afterwards, that’s F’d up.

But this time they didn’t get a homeless guy who was visibly drunk or with obvious mental problems to toy with. Surprised, they got a guy with some seriously gruff pipes and a heartbreaking rendition of Radiohead‘s Creep. To me, that deserves all the press he can get. (via workforfood)

MP3: The Top Last Christmas Covers, The Literal Version Video, and Glee

Cover by Jeff Fang

For four years, Last-Christmas.com has collected cover versions of Wham‘s … wait for it … Last Christmas. The site’s as brilliant and wrong as the original song. So to get in the mood for over 418+ takes on George Michael‘s festive opus, here are my picks for the Top 4, naturally:

THE NËCESSARY PICKS:

Sugary, sunny Indie pop straight outta Detroit:
PAS/CAL “Last Christmas”

8-bit ‘n bloopy:
Magnus Djurberg “Last Christmas”

If you don’t have a gramophone to play this through, imagine one:
Das Palast Orchester & Max Raabe “Last Christmas” (English)

The best, saddest-in-a-good-way version yet.
From the Kings of Convenience / Whitest Boy Alive:
Erlend Øye “Last Christmas”

THE BEST, WORST LAST CHRISTMAS:
Between his accent and those (almost) high notes, this one’s pure magic:

El Pulpo “Last Christmas”

There’s so much more. Go explore the wonders at Last-Christmas.com.

BONUS: Last Christmas Literal Version Video
(Akmainz left this in the comments at Last Christmas.

This show makes my ears bleed. But in the spirit of giving, here’s the cast of Glee singing Last Christmas.
