Do You Know SID?

The Commodore 64 was an outstanding machine, its abilities were pretty amazing for the time and whilst its graphical abilities were good, they were matched by other 8-bit machines of the time. Its sound though? Well that’s another story altogether…

I’m In The Middle Of A Creative Drought

It’s true, I can’t think of anything to say about, well, anything. It’s not cool, it’s really worrying. There used to be a time when I’d be able to come up with all manner of witty rantings. No more! I need to take action, this is what I’ll do…

Surely This Is Immoral?

Justin Bieber seems to have teenage girls the world over, desperate to grab hold of his wiry little frame and make him their first. This is obviously why Usher has hit upon the idea of using him to procure girls for him…

This Is Why Lego Is So Very, Very Cool

When I was a kid Lego Technics was about as geeky as it got and let’s face it that was just Mechano without the lacerations. No, nowadays kids have access to shit that can make things like this. Ok, that wasn’t made by kids and it cost a fortune but even so, it’s still pretty [...]

iPhone 4 Is Here!

Well, this looks like a bit of a winner, doesn’t it? Only problem for me is the measly 32GB of storage, what gives Apple? Surely 64GB would have been a goer? Still want one though…

With George Lucas Nothing Is Sacred

If you’ve got the right money that is. Seemingly Adidas had the right money. Part of me still thinks it’s very well done. And kind of cool.

What Is It With Psychotic Stuffed Bears In Adverts?

Jesus, no sooner had Willem Dafoe turned up on TV hawking Birds Eye’s frozen comestibles, than do we get another bunch of borderline psychopathic stuffed animals on the box. This time though it’s for the Travelodge chain of hotels. Have a look. Slightly less sinister than Willem Dafoe’s ever so slightly unsettling polar bear but [...]

Willem Dafoe Playing A Potentially Bi-Polar Bear

I loved Mississippi Burning, I thought the teaming of Dafoe and Hackman was immense. I wonder why I’ve never seen Gene Hackman selling frozen food on TV? It doesn’t stop there though, oh no. Next on the agenda for promotion, by the use of veiled threats, are frozen peas. So there we have it, Willem [...]

Space Paranoids!

Remember Tron? Remember the wholly unconvincing video game Flynn would play in his arcade? No? Well, the game was Space Paranoids and it looked awesome! It looks shit today. Thankfully though you don’t have to fork over any 25¢ pieces because you can now play it in your browser for free! Awesome! For extra realism [...]

Pearl Jam – The End

Pearl Jam’s mature sound is rather wonderful. This is just another example of Vedder’s awesome songwriting ability. Beautiful.
