Music Frenzy!


I know registering with NME.com is a major pain in the arse but they still provide the best links for new and essentially free music:

N.M.E

in the media player you can listen to the new Franz Fredinand album (not sure I want to I've kinda gone off them)
watch the video for the White Stripes performing live the Dolly Parton classic 'Jolene' (fucken LOVE that song)
Hear The Dandy warhols new album and check this:

Fine and Dandy

Not the dates for the US tour obviously but the boots man the boots...

gotta add them to my wish list...


Hear the new Ladytron album (YEE-fucken-hah!)
and catch the video for this cool new single from the Arctic Monkeys who I don't know much about but I love their new single 'you look good on the dancefloor'

Arctic Monkeys

Asterix and Sean Connery


I found this panel from an Asterix comic which appears to have Sean Connery administering to the sage: 'Getafix' (GREAT fucken name) whilst looking for a picture to blog with this link

I thought they were dead!! (well maybe one of them is)


I am reminded of the weeks spent plodding through the library as a child looking for unread Asterix books; I learnt most of my language from these fuckers, well my finely honed sense of humour owes a lot to these books at least.

The revolution will be... Mashed!


There was quite a lot of interest given to this story this week:

If you

see what I mean,

it's Fucken Everywhere!

Those though are merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg:

As you can see

from these futher reports

that at times get very in-depth.

I play dead...


Reminds me of the Bjork and David Arnold Song (Fucken beautiful) speaks volumes to me...
Anyways anyone in London wanting to take part in these experiments wants to get a wriggle on:

Simulated Haunting


I saw some t.v. program a while ago saying that the whole haunting experience was caused by things like ultra-low sound waves etc. and it will be V. interesting to see how these experiments turn out.
On a completely different and utterly related note: Tim Burton is still giving work to his girlfriend >Ahem<
I mean Helena Bonham-Carter is in Tim Burton's new film:

Corpse Bride


and there is a plethora of information on this production here:

Get a Life?

Like I can talk...

Remember tho' if you listen to people who know nothing, you will learn nothing yourself.

Go figure.

News??


I don't exactly call these articles news; Brett Easton Ellis showed us the way.

Psycho Killer Qu'est que ce?

Personally having worked with investment bankers I KNOW this to be true


And this story:

Oddness is Odd


No REALLY??
Still, satisfying to have what you have always known confirmed...
Well it's enough for me anyways.
However things I do not know are always welcome and often utterly fascinating:

The Sun twinned with some other Sun.

I'm going to Barbados


Not that I'm ginger or anything... I'm actually a stunning golden blonde...
but the ginger gene is in me (bloody Scottish mother!) and as such I suffer:

The gene that came in from the cold


There was also this odd little story this week which only caught my attention because of the headline:

Web used to capture dangerous spider('s identity)

I can only hope she was a broadband customer...


Another headline I couldn't ignore:

Military in the gays

Best one I ever saw was one year (on a pride march) four queens with big hats and a sign saying 'Gays in the Millinery'


this story I noticed through sheer curiosity i.e. I wondered how many new readers it would con into thinking I was blogging anything worthwhile:

Google blog search


This next story I noticed because I am so concerned with offending people:

Handbook if yer bovvered


and this I noticed because I wondered if I could emulate anything like his success:

Jammy little shit.

The Simpsons


Well Finally (or is it too late?)
they have deciced to make a Simpsons Movie?!?!?!?

Simpsons Movie


Thankfully they are using the shows writers etc but even so the t.v. shows have suffered through the years have they missed the boat?

Slightly dated now?


You can get too used to something and anything that was ever fresh about the Simpsons is no more...


Still ya gotta love 'em.
Although I kinda think wouldn't the time be better spent on a Futurama movie?

Go Figure.

Corporate Crap


God they're all at it aren't they?
Big companies taking liberties wherever they can be it through our own ignorance or through their own ingenuity at skirting the laws

Thieving Wankers

Which is why it's always handy to have resources like this at hand:

20 things 'they' don't want you to know

Complaining tips.

Fooken Excellent.

Big n' Pink n' Hard or soft...


This is quite a bizarre thing to do and it's the sort of art project that I would undertake: something HUGE... I mean in scale I don't care for the success...

Big Buns

Only I worry, doesn't wet wool stretch and sag...

I only say that from having to wear knitted swimming trunks in school, bless me dear ol mum...
She still doesn't know.

Rasta


So we have a new addition to the family, or rather they've always been here but we now recognise them as their own person... Marvellous.

New scientist report on Rasta Grass


Only I wonder what the distinctions are (presuming it gets classified etc.) and what this would mean for breeders of cross-strain plants and so on, and ultimately the consumer.

There's a debate about it here

Peanuts at full speed


Well that [the title of this blog] is apparently what the translation is for the name of the book in the photo above.

Am I too old to still find fart gags funny?

Nah!

Nothing should ruin one's enjoyment of a good ol' Dutch oven every once in a while, but the reason I am blogging is not just to tell you of my insane joy of farting but because I ran across this article the other day:

Windypops


And you have to read it if only to see what Queen Elizabeth I said to the Earl of Oxford after his self-enforced absence from court, and the best being what General Gowon said to the present Queen... it's such a shame that they don't tell us what her response was...

Bums on seats...


Some people will stop at nothing to get some more bums on seats... but is this the right direction for opera?

There goes the neighbourhood


Will it result with all the bums in the parks singing Verdi?

And this is also absolutely disgraceful...


Teaching your kid to do drugs.


What is the world coming to?

Oop gotta go my Skag's just arrived, My charlie seems to be delayed tho'
Laters taters.

UPDATE:

So it begins, but where will it end?

Class A or Class-y?

Good old Google


Gotta love 'em

Area 51

Quick link to map or at least it should be...

and as any good showman knows, you always save the best for last.

What do I need to say?

Nelly the elephant packed her trunk...


And buggered off to bloody America and never came back!

Supersize me

maybe they just need bigger animals to feed bigger Americans?

Food Chain


and on a loosely themed animal post do the pig personality test...

Do a Pig

Go on... I didn't and I really enjoyed it.

UPDATE:

Ok crybaby you made me feel guilty enough to draw a pig... it's rubbish but I did it anyways:

My crap drawing.

What kinda job is this?


This jammy tit gets to play with lego for a living...

Jealous much?

I wonder if they are still hiring?

Although this

Lego Solo

looks like a lot of work.

Much like this bloody quiz

Which Movie? which slowly drove me mad the other day... like I got time to kill or something.

Go figure.

People are Strange


This story broke a while ago but I still think it deserves a blog

People for loan

This one also is an old story but worth a gander

Mental Mother but then aren't they all?

and at least she thinks she is protecting her 'kids' unlike the parents of our last unfortunate:

Secrets of the woodshed

This is what I look like South-stylee


This is me made up in the

South Park Character Creator

and I am only posting that site because I wanted to post this site...

Hello Mr. Twig

More Star Wars??


What can I say I'm all geek

Outfit on Ya!


but then this site has some very funny captions to go with the photos:
Shame is pungent,
Nerds and pot don't mix,
Kenny Baker grows!,
Royal Guard on the Dunkin' diet
the best is the comment about the Death Star Guy: "target area small thermal exhaust port - seeks precise hit from one-man fighter"

but what can you expect from a guy who calls himself

Capn' Wacky

And by the by is that Natalie Merchant as in (ex-vocalist)

10,000 maniacs

Natalie Merchant??

P.S. anyone who might have missed any of the intros to any of the Star wars movies (for whatever reason) you can recap quickly here:

In a Galaxy Far Far Away.

Holiday


According to the

Dandy Warhols

Everyday should be a holiday...

Celebrate good times Come On!

this is one of those things where you can input any date of your choice to find some reason for celebrating that day i.e. slack off, get pissed whatever only funny thing was on the day that I first accessed it (13th September) there were no reasons to celebrate maybe we should make it Global Hedonists day...

Go figure...

Gross...


Judging by the news, today was gross day:

Steering clear of the mascara for a while then

>Throws Up Violently<

Your Forever Friend

I would love to write headlines like these...
