Football Hero.
To advertise the release of Kasabian's new single Underdog, they made this.
No idea why, or what the relevance is, but it's nice.
Battlezone.
Battlezone was an amazing arcade game from the 80's.
It was one of the first games to place you in an environment. It was amazing.
Well, some nice people have now made this, it's Battlezone 2.0.
Thanks.
The human body is amazing.
My new niece, Eliza, had her first solids on Saturday might, i was there to witness it, it was lovely.
Anyway, this simple story revolves around the next morning when i was put on nappy duty.
Sister said, 'go on Wee Wee*, you change her nappy' 'yeah, cool, i'll do it'.
Wee Wee begins changing process. Wee Wee removes outer layer, Wee Wee removes nappy, and then it hits you!
What i smelt was something i had never experienced before, it was raw, pure!
They really should use the scent to disperse crowds, or use it in interrogation rooms.
Anyway, having began the cleaning process i then had to get Sister to step in.
I am not man enough to change a babies nappy!
Well done babies, you are brilliant, you have humbled me.
*How i am known to my other 4 year old niece Bessie.
The walking wishbone.
Dead Man’s Bones are a band who asked Arthur Ganson to create them something magical for their video, i think you will agree, it is something pretty magical.
Amazing! Good tune too.

Beep beep.
It's nice, but unfortunately you are always gonig to say 'it looks a bit like that one AKQA did'*
* Normal people would not say this, only twats that work in the industry.
This Is Drum 'n' Bass.
Hospital Records entertains me greatly.
They have new album out, it's called 'This Is Drum 'n' Bass'.
I do hope the design was done on purpose to look like a 'Now that's what i call music' compilation.
Brilliant.
Wooden bullets.
I Don't Like Mondays is a new exhibition from Ben Turnbull.
He has created some beautiful carvings that i think i am going to go and see.
Wonderful and near Victoria, London.
Indy, Indy!

GPS Buses.
So, i get the feeling buses already have GPS transmitters in them, so, why doesn't the various companies release this information so it can be plotted into Google Maps, or into a mobile app.
It would be so useful to see how far away your bus is.
And whilst i am talking mobile apps. Wikipedia should release an app called 'Did you know?'.
The app uses GPS to tell you local facts and information relevant to your location.
Can i have both of these please, now please.
Thanks.
Rolling!
Just listening to a bit of rolling drum and bass, nothing more than that really.
Thanks Futurebound and Matrix.

Thank you technology, thank you PR.
Pack it in!

Just bung your stuff in and seal it up.
Double smash.

Sebastian Copeland.
100 years ago Robert Edwin Peary walked to the North Pole.
To commemorate, and to raise awareness of how the Polar Ice Cap is melting, Sebastian Copeland is hiking there too.
More about what he is doing here.
Wish i could have gone, not sure why he didn't tell me he was going, selfishness i guess.
On ya bike.

Thom Yorke.
I'm not a big fan of Radiohead, but this is a top top tune called Hearing Damage from Thommy.

From the New Moon soundtrack.

Star Fox.
Wow!
I have just been reminded of Star Fox. I remember having it on the SNES back in 1993 and thinking how amazing it was, it looked like you were playing a game from the future!
Games of today just don't look like they are from the future, we expect them to look amazing, and so this is why i would like to thank Star Fox and all the people who worked on it, you made me feel like i had special glasses on, special future glasses.
Honda EV-N.
Honda have created a little concept car called the Honda EV-N.
It is beautiful in every way.
Come on Honda, get it made. Infact, why would i ever want a EV-N, when i can get this.
You wonderful thing you.

The Crazies.
I like the look of this. Re-make of a George A Romero film from '73.
28 Days meets Dawn of the Dead and it's called The Crazies for heavens sake! A sure fire hit, and it has Radha Mitchell in, she was ace in Pitch Black.
That's it, nothing more to say really.
Sony Soundville.
This is the new Sony ad, Soundville
This is supposed to be an experiment to demonstrate that music makes things better, that sound can inhance situations - believe in superior sound experiences Sony suggests.
I don't see it myself. Sound is in no way making their lives better.
The sheep look terrified, one chap nearly shits himself, the beep that makes the old chap turn round sounds like some sort of noise that you would hear in a concentration camp and it appears that one women is getting carried off crying on a bike, infact very few look like they are enjoying themselves.
And surely, in a place like Iceland, solitude, isolation and silence are the best parts of the experience.
This stinks of more creative teams saying 'where can we go on holiday?'.
Lovely film, but rubbish execution.
Rubbish rubbish rubbish.
I liike Miike.
If you are a regular reader you will realise that i am a major fan of dirty electronic music, the grimier the better.
So, i am always thrilled to find something i like out of the genre.
Above is something i like, i am sure they have been around for ages topping the hit parade of several occasions, but i just wanted to give them, Miike Snow, a shout out, 'some props'.
And just to appeal to me, a pretty rubbish remix, and here is a nice one.
Thanks Miike.
And who'd have thought, 2 of them co-wrote and produced this.
Bmxcellent.
17 year old Aussie Andrew Ahumada.
Astonishing things, and to think he is doing this without brakes, Ron wouldn't stand a chance.
Big ting come.

James Dawe.
James Dawe designed the cover of my favourite album of the last few years.
James Dawe makes magic.
James 'i a' Dawe.
Lovely.
Brilliant biscuits.
I am very bored of stop frame animation, but this is still lovely, and has wafer's in it too.
Biscuits are out friends, enjoy them.*
* Apart from these sh*ts!
