Neil Gaiman & Amanda Palmer

WHile I'm waiting for my copy of "The Graveyard Book" to arrive... here is a sublime Neil Gaiman fanboy moment: Amanda Palmer playing Radiohead's "Creep" on ukulele... for Neil. Wheee!!



Towards the End Neil plays Mitch Benn's "Everything Sounds Like Coldplay Now" for Amanda. It's this video:



Everything sounds like Coldplay now
Everything sounds like Coldplay now
No other sounds can be allowed,
Everything sounds like Coldplay now.

Everyone tries to sing like Chris
Plays the piano just like this
Very restrained, not too much row
Everything sounds like Coldplay now.

And if you do a high bit in the middle eight,
Then you have almost solved the riddle of just how
To sound like Coldplay now.

This could be Embrace, Keane or Snow Patrol,
Thirteen Senses sound like this as well I'm told
It could be anyone, it's so hard to say,
Maybe this is actually Coldplay.

'Cause everything sounds like Coldplay now.
