mano-a-mano, or is it just “mano?”

Do y’all know Nick Pitera? You should. He’s rather a sensation over in YouTubelandia: not only is he cute, not only does he have a distinctive style of dress (someone said he looked like Waldo from “Where’s…“), not only is he in the final year of a BFA in animation, and not only is he a gifted baritone, but he’s also a gifted countertenor. He has, in the past, performed some Disney tunes, and if they don’t give him a contract before he’s out of school they’re not as smart as they should be.

One small confession: I was actually going to post Shane McGowan and Nick Cave doing What a Wonderful World, but alas, YouTube won’t let me play any Shane vids tonight. Seems like an odd thing to have a conspiracy to prevent, but then, I have enemies in high places. Sure I do.

    It’s true, but he IS adorable. In fact, he seems awfully sweet and wholesome. Maybe he’s the anti-Shane?

    I never quite believe it when I hear someone who sounds perfectly normal speaking suddenly belt something like that out.

  4. raincoaster says:

    Indeed, he’s almost scarily normal. I’m a big fan and hope he doesn’t end up on some carnival sideshow or doing commercials in Tulsa for a living.
