0.0000001, obviously.

Tim Minchin is a genius.

Woz not Woz

Will Woz become the new John Sargent?

I’m surprised he doesn’t use his Segway for this too…

This doesn’t happen in America

Homer tries to vote for Obama.  Thing is, we’ve all read enough about Diebold to know this is true, so why’s it in the Simpsons?

It’s where amazing happens

Oh. Dear.

Thankyou, failblog.

Isaac Hayes, RIP

Posted at 4:49pm on Monday, August 11th, 2008

Isaac Hayes has died.  It’s easy to remember him for South Park and the Scientology spat that followed, but his work as a session musician and writer for Stax and his own, darker sound made him one of the cornerstones of seventies soul. Here is Walk On By, the opener from his breakthrough album, Hot Buttered Soul. Get the whole album – four 10 minute workouts of dark, brooding, groove driven soul that hasn’t been bettered. This video doesn’t do it justice, but it will give you a taste.

Fable of a Failed Race?

Posted at 10:38pm on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Just seen the title track of the new Primal Scream album on The Culture Show.  Spent the first half wondering why I thought I’d heard it before and the second half marveling that the Quark, Strangeness and Charm-era Hawkwind sound is getting another outing.

Seriously, get yourself a listen to QS&C and you’ll see what I mean. Bobby Gillespie even manages to get that weird Dave Brock falsetto down pat.  Very odd indeed.

1,2,3,4

Feist’s 1-2-3-4 gets a tremendous amount of play in our office – not the original (used in the iPod ad), but the rather ludicrous Van She Tech Remix featured on the Kitsune Boombox compilation. This version’s the best yet though

Griefing

Posted at 2:26pm on Saturday, June 7th, 2008

I don’t play video games. (I’d like to point out that this is a bit like a reformed alcoholic eschewing all future drinks, rather than some holier than thou attitude.) Is it because I don’t play that I don’t understand why this isn’t just unquestionably funny?
