Green with envy

August 26th, 2010

I’m gutted to have missed Green Man Festival for the first time since 2003, and looking over the reviews I’m seething with jealousy for everyone who attended! Turns out John Grant and Lone Wolf were there spreading their musical magic…

…at least I can catch Lone Wolf supporting Philip Selway at Bush Hall next month. Killer lineup! And the mighty JG will be rockin the Roundhouse in November, so every cloud…

Brass player? Bored of the safety and assurance that when you play you’re unlikely to burn your parents house down? Then look no further, for it’s time to inject a dose of excitement into your practice sessions…

Going skate overboard

August 3rd, 2010

Remember that time I tried to jump the school steps and ended up with a skateboard happy-slapping the back of my head? Me neither…and that’s why I retired from boarding that day.

These guys on the other hand continue to look danger in the eyes and say “hey pal, you’re kinda awesome”, before taking extreme measures to create incredible footage of their explosive skating antics:

Cool eh?

Food of the gods

July 28th, 2010

I popped into the basement to check my air raid shelter supplies last night (sometimes I forget to restock the day-to-day kitchen…what of it??) and all those beans looked, well, decidedly dull.

!!BUT THEN, AS IF FROM NOWHERE!! The masters of all things good in life, Mark One Foods, announced the launch of this wonder product:

That’s right! A sandwich in a can! A CANDWICH!!!

Forget the apocalypse, I don’t need an excuse to gorge on these beauties! Nom Nom Nom

The future of music videos?

July 25th, 2010

In a world where music video games (think SingStar, Rock Band, DJ Hero etc) have become for some a primary source of consuming music, I guess this is a natural next step… let me introduce you to “The Building” by Jesse Stiles, and its accompanying music video game, “Inside A Dead Skyscraper

“An alternative approach to the musical game form would link the independent music and independent games scenes. Indie music games could promote unknown bands to the multi-tasking, hyperactive, interaction-addicted new generations”
