No Talent Hack Stayin' at the Chelsea Blues

[garyfromwv40]

Please don't get a gun, mickekeh. :P

[mickeleh]

@garyfromwv40 It's been eight months, and I still haven't. (But my friend Henry has one.)

[MermaidAntihero1988]

You're cooler then I thought.

You know of the Libertines!! :D

[mickeleh]

@MermaidAntihero1988 I'm so cool, I'm not even going to tell you how much I enjoyed that comment. ;-)

[jezgraham]

Love your Ukelele playing,

[mickeleh]

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear that. You are one of the musicians I respect most.

[vulcanbirdbrain]

your timing is impeccable.

:D

[BarryAldridge]

I cant believe I missed this Michael. Great song and History Lesson mate.

[scratchingcat]

Most of those celebs are dead. Good thing you included some youtubers who are still alive and kicking.

[veronicadredd22]

no comment!

[seaottersoup]

Nice hotel. Bit of a name-dropper though. xD

[leokimvideo]

Great video, nice little history lesson told in a very unusual way.

Sadly most of the people on that list I had never heard of, I must be a recluse of sorts, or is it that I am not an American..!

[CrayolaaWonderr]

LOL @Tom Milsom!

[dsbuchalter]

Mickeleh, it's been a while since i've been youtube viewing, but it is a real pleasure to return to your page, especially with these background shots. What, do you have a green screen, or blue screen, or whatever color that is screen now? It looks terrific. Thanks for taking the time to enter all of the names. This is a nice little bit of cultural history; I'm glad I know something about the Chelsea Hotel.

[dsbuchalter]

But the chorus is the best part: love that you booked a room for yourself but "forgot to book one for my muse."

There is no question, u belong among those on the list. In a day and age when it's not cool to be a self-crowned laureate, you fit yourself in nicely w/ the humility topos. It's cool that you haven't let the fact that you're a genius get in the way of being a nice guy.

Have fun in London! And please stop by the British Library to say hello to Shakespeare's First Folio for me!

[mickeleh]

It's true that I didn't book a room for my muse. But she showed up anyway about an hour before checkout time and gave me that line. At first, I thought she was from housekeeping and I almost didn't let her in.

[charlottepoet]

i agree!

[mickeleh]

Yes. Just started working w/ chromakey (green screen). Still a little rough and glowy around the edges. I'll refine my technique after I get back from London. I bought a roll of green screen paper at the local pro photo store. and taped it to the wall. That's the easy part. What I need to work on is the lighting.

[ItTakesII]

Mickeleh, that song was great! I guess the hotel really did rub off on you after all! :D

[hathi444]

Funny how hearing your blues gives me anything but. =)

[wellesz31]

All those other guys are fine, but if Alice Cooper stayed there... well!

Seriously, though, what a list! I'd be tempted to go commune with Burroughs and DeKooning myself.

[TheHerrRichardson]

This song was inspired by the Hotel

[radioschizo]

your videos are pure quality entertainment, Mickeleh. You're an awesome performer.

[ZacharysWorld]

your ukulele rocks

[hopeonatenspeed]

man...

i hate it when i forget my muse.

[mickeleh]

You would hate it. But I don't think you ever do. You seem to have excellent musal relations.

[zunathanzu]

seems like you got talent to me. You have the talent to entertain, which is what you do.

[mickeleh]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

[cheekychen]

Jeff Lewis is a legend!! he featured my video for the acid song on his site and sent me his album of Crass songs to use in my vids :D

[mickeleh]

A very cool story. Happy to know it. I love his stuff. And I owe hexachordal much for turning me on to him.

[songsfrompaul]

A bit of blues goes a long way =)

Awesome work Mickeleh!

[Cohenism]

That lonely car at the end only helped to seal this brilliance.

[paisleypower30]

Likes it :)

[pixonu]

That's quite a list of guests!

[mickeleh]

I know. And we were all sharing one bathroom.

[AdamTheAlien]

Very awesome, Mickeleh! I love the line about forgetting to book a room for your muse.

[crimsong19]

Sweet job, Mickeleh!

[nsgmusic]

yeaaaaaa booiiii!!!!!!.......

[mickeleh]

A comment from you makes my day. I so love your work. Hope to see you at SitC

[nsgmusic]

see you good sir!

[Thysane]

A nice lil' blues song here mickeleh.

[doctornoise]

hahaha, brilliant Mickeleh. I love dem blueeez!

[nenalyzed]

sounds like an awesome hotel!

hihi, the music is the ukeleleh :D

poor muse without a room, of course she wasn't happy! Oh my all those names scrolling by!

that's amazing! I would love to see that hotel :D

but I must say I'd rather meet those people :D

[nenalyzed]

*is in the ukeleleh :D

stupid typo!

I liked the song :D and it must have been an amazing experience anyway, even though it's just a hotel... so odd how we can give some places a special status... well, we don't, the famous people do. Did the list just say: Tom Milsom? awesome :D

[mickeleh]

Sharp eyes. Yes, Tom is among the brilliant artists who have stayed at the Hotel Chelsea.

[hexachordal]

:D:D

[nenalyzed]

that's awesome :D

Hi Tom!
