YouTube celeb Mr. Unstable focusing on music career

02:54 PM PT, Dec 3 2008

Remember the name Mr. Unstable? You know, Timothy Tackett, that Burger King employee who filmed himself bathing in the Xenia, Ohio, fast-food joint's utility sink? Well, Tackett is hoping you haven't forgotten about him.

Since posting the video in the summer, the eccentric YouTube celebrity has spent the last few months growing a rap music career. He released a full-length album under the Mr. UNSTABL3 moniker, titled "Show Me on the Doll," and threw a CD release party.

The BK firing seems to have soured Tackett on working in the food industry. But he hasn't heard a peep from the company since he lost his night-shift job, he said in an e-mail.

Music has become Tackett's full-time gig, and he's working on booking shows to play next year.

So, if you're a concert venue owner looking for a madcap hip-hop artist with experience disassembling fast-food fryers, you know the guy. And a dressing room may not be necessary -- as long as there's a roomy enough kitchen sink in the back.

Christie St. Martin
Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
