Charlie McDonnell is a 19 year English Whovian, Video-Blogger and Musician from Bath, Somerset who is known on YouTube as charlieissocoollike. He plays in a band called Chameleon Circuit that specializes in songs about Doctor Who (they really aren’t bad! – you can listen for yourself on his webpage). Love his Captain Hammer T-Shirt but not the ukulele.
And here’s another vid of Charlie playing with himself but not in THAT way. He puts up videos on YouTube not xTube. He does a great job of combining the audio to duet with himself.
Here is a video made by one of their fans (SmilingLimpet) for the Chameleon Ciurcuit song “An Awful Lot of Running.”
Check out the comments to see a video of another Whovian vlogger who is part of Chameleon Circuit… David Tennent’s teen lookalike – LittleRadge.

Sorry I couldn’t resist sharing this… There is definitely something more than a bit wrong about this song from 19 year old Swedish pop star Eric Saade. But he doesn’t care. He’ll show you how to love. I wonder if this twinkie has even heard of ABBA?
I found it a bit repetively redundant but then again what do you expect from a song called Manboy.
Superhero is The first official music video from new band TimAndTheSpaceCadets. It’s a bit bubble gum for me but it IS adorable. For videos, pictures, music, and lots more, be sure to check out their website… TimAndTheSpaceCadets.com
Plus “Tim” is kinda cute too. Great blue eyes. Possible retouched, but great.
The Muppets resident guinea pig… singing sensation Beaker is back with his own take on the classic ballad, Dust in the Wind. Complete with a running commentary from the usual suspects.

Lady Gaga Teeth… a film by Sergio Ceron – Not an official Haus of Gaga creation but there are some rumors that Lady Gaga funded the video or at least she approves of it. S&M beefcake dentist (who could use a better choreographer) kidnaps a shirtless vampire stud to torture him with…
I don’t really know what the point is other than as a cautionary tale… don’t mess with vampires, and if you do, use handcuffs not rope.
I like it. Its sweet and totally speaks to the part of me that grew up on Schoolhouse Rock. Music is a very effective tool for communicating a message to the masses. And not only is this video political, adorable and catchy, but it is also true. Why else would the state be in such a hurry to keep Perry vs. Schwarzenegger (the landmark civil rights/marriage equality case against Proposition 8 currently underway) from being forever immortalized on YouTube? They don’t want the world AND history to see California as ignorant. But its too late in the information age to keep that sort of thing from happening.
I have no words… well I can say some people have even more time on their hands than I do. Here is a video forwarded to me by regular reader Buttersboi… A video animation by NightShadow02 for albinoblacksheep.com contest Music by Parry Gripp “Up Butt Coconut (Extended Dance Remix).”
Saw this at WickedGayBlog over the holidays and managed to stifle the urge to share it at the time, but now I have happened upon it again… so you have to suffer or do something else while you watch.
I’m guessing he’ll have a few fans who’d lke to give it to him “that way.” Of course my first instinct to dig deeper is a both blessing and a curse. The good news there is two of them. The bad news is I’m not sure if they are TRYING to be funny. But, do we care? I think all hot boys should be encouraged to as goofy as they wanna be on YouTube.
I can think of some different outfits I might have put them for “I Look Good In Leather.” Never heard this song before. Caught me after a night out. But I’m amused.

December Song (I Dreamed Of Christmas) is a very weird song written by George Michael & David Austin. Unsure about I feel about calling snow “white sugar from Jesus.” Kinda creeps me out a bit for some reason.
It sort of sounds like a song about a kid being glad his parents lay off the fighting during the holidays. Very weird video too. No idea what the imagery means or if it is random or deeply symbolic. Thoughts?
A new cover mashup music video (the music “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis with the lyrics from “Finally” by Ce Ce Peniston) about marriage equality directed by Adam Joseph and Josh Kesner. Starring Lars Stephan, Stuart Perkins and Erickatoure Aviance. The handsome grooms are very sweet together and their drag bridesmaid was a nice touch. Music is a wonderful way to share the message.
I do so love the YouTube generation. Its videos like these and the ones that follow that will end up going a long way towards making gay marriage a reality everywhere. Current and future generations are growing up with the message that its OK to be Gay. We just want to love. I have hope. Now we just have to wait and see how Perry vs. Schwarzenegger turns out.
This is GREAT! Nice to see the Muppets doing what they ought to be doing in today’s market… funny viral music videos. Enjoy their Bohemian Rhapsody! Now if they could just manage to make a new Muppet Movie.
Whatever happened to the one in the works with Jason Segal?
Check out this great guerrilla musical number organized by DJ Dan Murphy and starring one of Australia’s most famous drag queens – Joyce Maynge… The video was so cool it had Kylie Minogue all atwitter.
I’ve wanted a spontaneous yet choreographed musical number to erupt around me my whole life. I’m just never in the right place at the right time. Oh well, at least I get to watch the video.
Now I try not to post every cute cat video that pops up online, but this is fun. I’m always happy to see that there ARE people who have more time on their hands than I do.

Bryan Safi on Current TV’s THAT’S GAY on "No Homo."
As I am FAR from up to date on musical trends, I hadn’t noticed this phenomenon, but it really cracks me up that 1. rap artists feel the need to toss in a "no homo" to defuse any potential gay overtones something might have, and 2. that they think it is effective.
John Scot Barrowman was born 11 March 1967 in Mount Vernon, Glasgow in Scotland and lived there until he was 8 when his father’s job with the Caterpillar heavy machinery company relocated his family to Joliet Il, in the US. He is best known for his role as the bisexual rogue Captain Jack Harkness on Dr. Who and the spin-off series Torchwood, but he has another side less known to many of his fans… love ballad crooner – in addition of at least 6 CDs of songs he also had singing parts in De-Lovely and The Producers.
He attended Joliet West High School and was very active in theatre even as a student performing in Hello, Dolly!, Oliver!, Camelot, Li’l Abner and Anything Goes between 1983-1985.. He went to college in San Diego, but returned to the UK after graduation and debuted in 1989 as Billy Crocker in the London West End production of Cole Porter’s Anything Goes. He later reprised the role for Trevor Nunn’s 2003 West End Revival.
He is probably best known in the United States for starring roles in several short-lived prime-time soap operas such as Titans with Yasmine Bleeth in 2000 and Central Park West, as well as the low-budget cult film Shark Attack 3. Barrowman was under consideration for the role of Will in the popular US series Will and Grace but the producers felt he was "too straight" and the role went to Eric McCormack instead, who is heterosexual. "The sad thing is it’s run by gay men and women," said Barrowman in a January 2006 article. He later expressed contempt for the idea that all gay men act the same way.
The character’s wild popularity prompted the network to give Captain Jack Harkness his own spin-off series Torchwood. The series, set in modern day Cardiff, follows the exploits of the Captain and Torchwood, which was created by Queen Victoria in order to protect the UK from extraterrestrial threats. Barrowman reprised the role in the 2007 Doctor Who episodes "Utopia", "The Sound of Drums" and "Last of the Time Lords", the two-part 2008 series finale, "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey’s End". and the "Doctor Who: Tonight’s the Night" special written by Russell T. Davies.
Although his character Captain Jack Harkness left Earth at the end of the 5 part Season 3, fans shouldn’t lose heart – Barrowman will still be showing up on the telly, but it may not be on Torchwood (even though Season 4 has been confirmed). He’s been meeting with the powers that be at Desperate Housewives! If cast, do you his character will be gay, bi or straight?
Barrowman has been with his partner, Architect Scott Gill, since the two met met during a 1991 production of Rope at the Chichester Festival Theatre. The couple have homes in London and Penarth, South Wales and are the proud caretakers of a Jack Russel Terrier named Captain Jack, and two Cocker Spaniels names Charlie and Harris.
Here are links to the all three seasons of Torchwood on DVD, his autobiographies and a few film credits.
I’ve established that I do possess the gay “I love musicals” gene. So I felt obligated to mention this number which has been making the rounds.
I’m enjoying GLEE. It’s a High School Musical mutation with teeth and a VERY dark sense of humor. The cast of characters is a an entertaining and compelling cross section of peculiar students and neurotic teachers, the performers are quite good and the musical numbers have really well executed and fun to watch. I’m looking forward to the rest of the season. If you want to catch up, you can buy the .5 Season DVD (GLEE: The Road to Sectionals) from My Amazon store…
THIS WEEKS SHOW IS A WONDERFUL EPISODE!!!!!! The best by far of a really good new series. I cried when Kurt’s Dad screams THAT’S MY BOY!!! In fact makes me a bit verklempt just thinking about it. From Kurt’s fear I was expecting his pops to be different – The scene at home after the game was just beautiful – and teared me up again. I’m usually pretty Spock-like when it comes to things pulling on my emotional heartstrings – but moments like these get me every time. If you aren’t watching this show – START or I’ll have your gay card revoked. Seriously!
I loves me some NPH, and he does not disappoint as the melodically mind controlling Music Meister! OK I’m a proven sucker for musical episodes (I LOVED the Buffy TVS episode Once More With Feeling and the Scrubs musical and am eagerly anticipating the musical episode of Eureka next season). And I’m a HUGE comic book geek so I really couldn’t be more the target audience for a musical episode of The Brave and the Bold. Guest Starring Black Canary, Aquaman and Green Arrow.
Neil Patrick Harris sounds amazing as ever (check him out in Prop 8 the Musical)
As I regale you with my story you know you’ll have no choice but to do my evil bidding when you hear this booming voice!”
– Music Meister (Neil Patrick Harris)
and these are audio only – but they have the songs…
