BRB, losing faith in humanity

I'm on YouTube (that doesn't happen often) and I'm looking for geisha/geiko related videos (I'm terribly fascinated with their make-up). That is, I just typed "maiko" (apprentice geisha) into the search. YouTube helpfully suggested some common searches while I typed.

"Maikol Jakson".

Looks to be spanish-speaking folks who like to spell it that way?

Anyway I prefer the Samuel Jackson Five, not to mention remembering to put http:// in the link.

I used to know a somewhat dyslectic Slav who spelled his favourite artist's name "Gorg Maikel". It's him again, I'm sure, searching for Maikol thousands of times each day and fucking with YouTube's helpfulness.

Now, that's a good band name.

Gorg Maikel.
Gotta love that man.

Looking through that guy's cassette collection was a nightmare...

I know, I belatedly realised that my reply could be misunderstood. Anyway, Gorg isn't quite my taste (and wasn't back then either, I was 14), but he was the least awful choice in the home-copied cassette collection, so I listened to a bit of Gorg, yeah. NEVER Maikol, can't stand him.

Gorg used to be my all time favourite singer! When I was about 10 years old I mean.
I finally saw him live in 2006 and to be honest, he's in my top 5 great concerts list!
Then I evolved to liking Take That (...)
and after that Suede/Brett.

Maikol, neh. I hate him.

I can imagine Gorg is good on stage. As for Teik Dat, not gonna touch it...

I <3 the way Gorg can say Yeaah.

Teik Dat - they were on the radio the other day and I couldn't remember why I ever liked them. I do like the looks of Mark Owen even though he's really short.
