"Fashionable People" gets over half a million views on YouTube

Joel's most popular video, Fashionable People now reaches an amazing 550 000 views. It's a video about a fashion company, and people auditioning to be models.

Honestly, it is a fairly bland music video, but that seems to be the point, and it's refreshing to see people who actually look like normal people, not supermodels wearing tons of makeup. Plaskett himself is wearing a sweater vest!

Anyways, congratulation Joel on the online success!

Today, Joel's latest album, "Three" won the Adult Alternative Album of the year award at the Junos! In the past, he has been nominated for three other Junos, but unfortunately lost out each time. He has had more luck with the East Coast Music Awards, with 15 awards and 2 nominations. Now, he can finally add a Juno to his trophy cabinet.

Congratulations Joel!

In this brand new 3-disc set, everything is related to the number three. Today is 03/24/09, all divisible by three. It costs $21, which is 3x3x3, or 3 to the power of 3. There are three discs, all with 9 songs each, which makes 27 songs total, 3 x 3 x 3 again. And, most of the songs are called something like Run, Run, Run or Through and Through and Through!

Joel Plaskett, you've outdone yourself again!

Ashtray Rock's actual location

For anyone who owns Joel's "Ashtray Rock" album and is curious about the actual rock, now you can learn all about it. Some YouTuber decided to film exactly how to get to Ashtray rock, and uploaded it.

There are little clues in every album about where the mystical hangout spot actually is, especially in the Ashtray Rock album. But now the cat is officially out of the bag.

It's actually smaller than most people would think it is; it's only about the size of a small microwave oven.
