Play it again, ChatRoulette

Hooded pianist entertains strangers on webcam service ChatRoulette – could he be Ben Folds?

It’s what ChatRoulette was invented for – so a chap in a hoodie at the piano can make up songs about whatever you are doing – immediately! The keyboard guy clearly knows his stuff, and fortunately wasn’t required to make up a song about anything too, you know … un-family friendly. The voice, the piano skills, and those big glasses prompted speculation that it could be none other than Ben Folds, formerly of Ben Folds Five fame and now just plain old BF. The piano man later denied he was Ben Folds, according to reports. But he would say that wouldn’t he? Looks familiar?

It does sound a lot like him, but there are bits where it couldnt be him either… Makes me almost wish I had a webcam.. Almost.

Oh Courtney oh how love thee..

Which is so completely cool its not even funny.

Just hope they dont have a case of the Weezer syndrome where the videos make the band…..

Best. Commercial. EVER!!!!
Why cant we get anything like this in the UK?

Didn’t get a chance to see the New Kids on the Block on tour? Now you can have Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and Jordan and Jonathan Knight in your living room when the group releases its concert DVD on Feb. 2.

From early rehearsals to inside the recording studio, NKOTB’s Coming Home DVD is “bringing you back to the very first moment of the reunion step by step until today,” Donnie Wahlberg tells PEOPLE. “It’s kind of like a yearbook – only from a 15 year high school reunion.”

The DVD includes the singers’ performance of classics like “Step by Step” – and unseen footage from the groups fan cruise to the Bahamas, where Wahlberg and Wood surprised fans in their cabins. Wahlberg has a soft spot for replaying the fan footage, saying, “the emotion from the fans, in every arena throughout the tour, was so intense,” he says. “It gives me chills every time I watch it.”

Get ready for more chills, Donnie. The reunion party will continue in 2010 when the boys hit the high seas again on a sold-cruise in May. And there will be ten golden keys hidden in the deluxe and super deluxe DVD box sets that will grant lucky fans two tickets to any future NKOTB concert.

Says Wahlberg: “We hope to find new ways to give our fans no less as we move forward.”

Now up on YouTube

Joes releasing a new single and heres the premier as recorded (gently borrowed until the release date?) from the webstream of Donnies on-air appearance on CHUM-FM (Toronto radio station)

Also to go along with the release of the new record, Joes revamped his official site – with new pics, links to iTunes (though for us in the UK still only links to ‘Talk to Me’ – his cover of standards), photos and more.

Would have updated this sooner, but been away home for the last week, working crazy hours and VERY jetlagged.

Joe & Dave Harris from RetroRewind on the set of ‘Here We Go Again’ the new single from Joey McIntyre.

Mmmm Joey in HD. I totally didnt catch a word Joe was saying. His eyes just made me melt. So jealous of the 32 Bravehearts who could attend the taping!!
