NEW VIDEO: Vintage Kylie Minogue


Today the masterminds at YouTube recommended several odd-yet-appreciated things to me, including this brazilliant 1991 clip of Ms Kylie Minogue getting her groove on during rehearsals for the "Shocked" part of her ye olden days Let's Get To It Tour.

Yes, YouTube headquarters/evil computers know me well. Observe...




Luckily KM got the all the snazzy moves down pat in time for the rest of the tour as this super-fun clip from the Dublin leg proves...



And here's the Top Of The Pops performance also with the awesome Jazzi P... YAY!!




Just in case you were wondering, Let's Get To It is one of my fave album covers ever (despite the fact that at the time I preferred the inside sleeve pics). See:



Well, that was my favourite until this album came along:

... but then that one was let down by being self-titled... and, friends, it got complicated. I'm not pro a self-title but I am certainly pro-Minogue so this was a difficult time for me. That is perhaps a discussion for another time and fortunately Kylie has lifted her album-title game since. Speaking of which, when's the new album??!

Anyway, hope you've enjoyed today's little trip down Minogue memory lane. You can follow Kyles in the Twitterverse by surfin' to @kylieminogue... and us at @theunibrain

VAMPIRE SMACKDOWN: Buffy vs Twilight!

When SMG met R-Patz...


In case you hadn't noticed The 'Brain are pretty much in holiday mode - as opposed to how we are the rest of the time *cough* - but we just wanted to reassure our fans (*cough*) that we still love the interwebs.

To celebrate I offer you my favourite YouTube clip from last year that my sister for
warded on to me (thanks, Sarah!). Without further ado, here is Buffy vs Edward: Twilight Remixed. Observe...



Advantage: Buffy.
