Cat Stevens Becomes Yusuf Islam

Cat Stevens tells all for the first time. Cheesy, but absolutely gripping documentary about someone who turned his back on stardom for religion. He was so much more spiritually interesting beforehand.

Trivia: Yusuf is half Swedish.

Queen Greatest Hits

Although I would never admit it in public, like on a website, I can’t help but sing along to this.

I’ve always been amazed by two things in showbiz: 1. how people were surprised that Liberace was gay, given that he was the most camp person on the planet; 2. that the millions of distinctly uncamp nerdy Queen fans were surprised that Freedie Mercury was gay, given that he was the second most camp person on the planet. I mean cummon – the band was called ‘Queen’.

Chechen Music, New Year in Grozny 2006

For no other reason than to parry the Borat documentary with something from former, (or want to be former Russian) Soviet central Asia that was the inspiration for Borat, rather than Kazakhstan in particular. A testament to the wonders of the Internet, and the obscure stuff that you can find with a single keystroke, a Chechen New Year, with oddly catchy music – enjoy.
