    Falsehoods!

    My mate George had three little falsehoods she told at primary school to make her sound more interesting: a) Her dad wrote the theme music to Champion The Wonderhorse. b) Her middle name was Louise. c) She was Welsh. Pretty crap bullshit, I'm sure you'll agree.

    Die Antwoord

    *sighs* I dunno, it's like you're all criticising The Simpsons for the way they're drawn or something. Come on guys, I'm tired and depressed and I've got shit on my plate. Don't make me defend Die Antwoord on the interwebs.

    Fleetwood Mac

    I think Green has said he only took acid 8 or 9 times, so it's fair to say it triggered something rather than caused it, otherwise there'd be a lot more Peter Greens out there!

    Wiley u-stream

    Ha ha. Brilliant. He just had some beef with a taxi driver.

    Wiley u-stream

    I tuned in the other day and he was making a great tune, dunno if it was the same one. Be weird to hear it finished in another context if that ever happens, having seen it being made. I think with the zip files and this u-stream thing he has transcended his occasionally faintly ridiculous...

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    My sister does this. I mean I'm shit with presents too but last Xmas I was freezing my tits off in Notting Hill with two hours to kill before going to meet my successful-mates-in-a-band but no money to sit in warm pubs and this lairy rasta guy engaging my girlfriend in conversation and my sister...

    East German socialism in pictures circa 1987

    I signed up to an email subscription thing at Iconic Photos so I get a picture or so a day with background/related information. It's like a Yakult data burst of history/culture/ideas etc, if you will.

    East German socialism in pictures circa 1987

    Interesting stuff, ta. Lots of good photography stuff seems to be passing under my nose via the net lately. Guess there's some sort of obvious point about the image being set free and the general unlimited accessability of digital data but I am not going to make it.

    Unfortunate names

    I also went to school with a kid called Justice (loads of people have cool names in Africa though - met someone called Million once... what are the chances of that eh?) Funnily enough Justice was rarely out of trouble.

    Unfortunate names

    I saw something on telly a while ago and they had a brief vox pop with a woman called Gay Power. When they flashed her name up at the bottom of the screen I swear you could feel the sniggering comic intent, or maybe it was just me. Also, I went to school with a chap called Teddy Dyck.

    Flying Ant Day

    Some ant action up here in the Fens too today. Was just marvelling at their beautiful alien insectoid industry and then the next time I looked a work colleague had poisoned them all.

    Skream's new vid

    I don't begrudge Skream seeking or finding fame and fortune because I think he's very talented. I'd even forgive him for tailoring a commercial sound in pursuit of the $. What annoys me (far too much, obviously) is this wide-eyed willingness to engage with all kinds of mainstream naffness from...

    Skream's new vid

    Have you seen this? I thought it was a joke etc. Some cool shizzle!

    Skream's new vid

    Skream's career depresses the fuck out of me. At least Wiley is pissing his talent away in an occasionally entertaining way.

    Flying Ant Day

    Well it's a work in progress but the bits that weren't in Home Counties hellzones were in Botswana. :D

    The press release hall of shame thread

    It's pretty meta. Incongruous use of the word incongruous. I might start doing that actually.

    Flying Ant Day

    A feature of FAD (or rather the following day) in my expat childhood was that the local kids would turn up to school with little paper bags of fried ants to snack on. Not totally unpleasant, but pretty greasy.
