10/8/08, 06:59 PM I went to a family reunion this weekend to see the long lost second cousins twice removed, and had the pleasure of staying in the kitschest B&B in the country. As someone has already suggested - only a teasmaid would make this more complete!

3/8/08, 01:11 PM Hanna went through her father's old slides from back in the 70's and found some shots of his mountaneering days in Scotland, and holidays in Finland. These two pictures stood out the most for me - especially seeing as back then you wouldn't know what you had managed to capture until after the film was developed.

Glasvegas |

Glasvegas are, not surprisingly, from Glasgow. Lead singer James Allan, and his brother Rab, have spent long periods on the dole in tough east-side Glasgow, providing a different backdrop than most other newcoming bands. The first single from the yet-to-be-released album is an anthemic homage to Geraldine, a social worker friend of the band who guides the lost souls of Glasgow through their depression. It caught me ear, maybe yours too...

Rampant Cock Nappers strike East Wittering |
||
|
|

10/6/08, 02:09 PM ;)
It appears that cock's aren't safe in the peaceful coastal village of East Wittering. Farmers are up in arms over the recent spate of cock thievery, blaming everything from the weather to Paris Hilton's decision to make music. "Cock nappers are rampant", said Giles Fart-Bottom of Piggery Farm - "I just can't leave my cock alone at night anymore. I blame that god-awful noise that Hilton woman makes". Police are investigating any possible link between Ms Hilton's music and the disappearing cock's, but so far police have failed to find anyone who actually bought her single. "I like corn" said one long-term resident of the village, helpfully. Local shop owners have 'missing' posters plastered in their windows from farmers who pine for their missing cocks. "My cock Pedro was snatched 4 weeks ago now, while I was having tapas with friends - someone obviously snuck in and took him - who would do such a thing?" said farmer Bramley Fivecousins. "He's got one odd eye - his pupil on the left is all wonky, maybe if you see him you could tell him I love him?" The Government announced yesterday that rampant cock snatching was nothing to do with them, unless of course it's a good thing, in which case it was all their idea. | [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink | ( 3 / 733 )

Second free outing for NIN |
||
|
|
|
5/5/08, 05:52 PM Trent Reznor and co. have followed up their ground-breaking 'open video project' - in which fans were asked to submit video to accompany the epic 36 track soundscape entitled Ghosts - by releasing their latest album 'The Slip' as a free download.
;)
The last video project caused controversy as it came so soon after Radiohead released their 'priceless' album 'In Rainbows' and NIN were accused of copying Radiohead's vision and drive to dodge the online and real-world media outlets taking a cut of their work. However, NIN didn't ask people how much they wanted to pay - the music was simply downloaded for free in exchange for an e-mail address. Fans could of course opt to purchase a full disc set with artwork. Now that Nine Inch Nails have released The Slip, the second outing to date without record label backing, will we see other established artists following suit, and offering their music gratis? | [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink | ( 2.9 / 666 )
