Quelle surprise

Posted at 9:47am on Friday, February 27th, 2004

Belle de Jour has a book deal (right at the bottom of the page). Not that that’s surprising - still interested to find out if she’s real or not. Nice hype, regardless.

Yet another variant of the Yeti/penguin slapping thing, but this one’s got blood and guts!

Smile, it’s SMiLE!

Posted at 12:06pm on Thursday, February 26th, 2004

Looks like the long lost Beach Boys album SMiLE is about to finally be released. Intended to be Brian Wilson’s answer to Sgt Pepper it’s long been thought to have been completely lost - shelved due to Wilson’s increasing drug problems and paranoia. Much anticipated - if you can’t wait for the autumn release you could catch the tour.

The 50 best (worst) eulogies

6. The French have a term, “le petit mort.” It is ironic that in his obsessive pursuit of this so-called “little death,” that Dan’s own flawed autoerotic asphyxiation techniques should lead him to such a big, honkin’ drawer-soiling demise.

Ecstasy reconsidered

Posted at 8:11am on Thursday, February 26th, 2004

If, like me, you spent the 90s in an warm dance music induced haze there will probably be moments when you wonder exactly how much harm we did ourselves. This article from US Chronicle of Higher Education makes for refreshing reading - apparently we may have got away with it (although one look at Bez does make you wonder!)

whether NIDA has an agenda”

Sometimes I despair. Apparently two thirds of Americans support televised executions. This ain’t funny…

Go Sonic go…

Posted at 9:55am on Wednesday, February 25th, 2004

Well, actually it’s more of a Tetris-a-like, but that’s more suited to my gaming skills nowadays…

Edit: …and then lo and behold, I find a complete Sonic game entirely in Flash. Now that is quite something!
