Music-crush: Tim Minchin
I've been watching this fellow's videos on YouTube, and yeah, music-crush.
He's like a vaudevillian pianist performing incredibly intelligent songs showcasing dark humor and morbidity. I've found it rather enjoyable to play a YouTube Playlist of his music in the background while internetting or fucking around the house. Some key songs that I enjoy:
If You Really Loved Me -- one of my faves, it's quite sweet and.. terribly twisted
Storm -- a nine-minute beat poem that debunks all new age BS
If I Didn't Have You (I'd Have Someone Else) -- a statistical analysis of love
Taboo -- probably my fave song, it's about a taboo word in modern society
Donnie Darko -- I'll ashamedly admit that I didn't fully understand the movie until I heard Tim's explanation
Tim's got a great stage-presence and in all his videos, he appears to really enjoy performing in front of a live audience, feeding from their laughs. He's also a brilliant pianist whose instrumentals could stand up on their own, though coupled with his lyrics and voice, it's totally awesome. If he ever tours the US, I'll be there in a heartbeat.
