Another excellent one take music video from OK Go and it’s filled with cute (and clever) doggies. Win!

Unhearit – for getting that bloody song out of your head!

Alastair — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 07:23:43 +0000

Got a song stuck in your head? Been humming it all day even though you can’t stand it? Well finally there’s a solution… sort of.

From the blurb: “We created this site for those of you that have a song stuck in your head and you can’t get it out no matter what you do. Using the latest in reverse-auditory-melodic-unstickification technology, we’ve been able to allow our users to “unhear” songs by hearing equally catchy songs. So really all we’re doing is making you forget your old song by replacing it with another one… sorry. “

Ok so it’s not a perfect solution but at least it’s good to know that there are people out there who care, People who are never going to give you up, never going to let you down, never going to run around and hurt you…

Thursday flashback – Death of a chocolate bunny

Alastair — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 08:54:16 +0000

This week’s walk down memory lane revisits a surprisingly creepy video from late 2007 in which a series of everyday chocolate rabbits meet a disturbingly grizzly end.

Some people prefer the heavy metal remix… we included it after the jump so you can decide for yourself. Enjoy!

The original song “Rehab” by Noel Coward, as made famous by the talented Miss A. Winehouse. Truly excellent!

Never add your mum to your facebook (twitter’s ok, skype could be trouble)!

OK Go – This Too Shall Pass

A new OK Go video (new to us at least)! As always great fun – hopefully Berocca will leave THIS one well alone!

Fantastic, now I’m scared of forest fires AND women!

Danger Mouse to release blank CD

Alastair — Mon, 18 May 2009 22:21:48 +0000

Music producer Danger Mouse is to release a blank CD, after record label EMI reportedly cancelled his new album. It has already been streamed online, but Billboard magazine said a “legal dispute” with EMI derailed the project.

“All copies will be clearly labelled: ‘For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.’”

I’m fascinated by the modern music industry and it’s spiral into self destruction. There is very little that can actually be accomplished by resisting the new distribution and sales models that have existed for a while now and a lot of artists have recognised this. Danger Mouse himself made his name selling bootleg remixes of Jay-Z’s Black Album and The Beatles’ White Album and many other artist have been able to make the most of the free distribution that’s now available.

Anyway, however tempted I am to grab myself a copy, the $50 dollar price tag for a blank album and book by a man I’m not particularly bothered by is just a little too rich for my blood but if you’re looking for a piece of cultural history this is the time to get it, I can’t see this being done again.

Time for another MC Lars Audio link!

Yoooooooouuuuuutuuuuuuube

Yooouuutuuube what I imagine the child of YTMND and Youtube would look like, it was only ever a matter of time really before something like this came along and I think it’s great! Here’s a little sample or of course you can go and make one of your own, assuming that the site hasn’t fallen over under the weight of it’s own success already.

Mr Raven

We got EAP in the house tonight, Edgar Allan Poe.
America’s favorite anti-transcendentalist.
We’re taking this back, way back, nineteenth century style…

And from that moment the whole crowd started jumping and just didn’t stop…

Just over two weeks ago I was exposed to the crunk master, Mc Lars for the first time at the Islington Academy… I’ve had this song on repeat almost constantly ever since. I think that the only way to get it out of my head is to spread the love and being a fan of the new market model I know Lars won’t mind me sharing this most bodacious track with you guys now. If you ever get the chance grab a ticket and go see him perform live and buy his merch, you can thank me in the comments box later. =)

Listen to Mr Raven now
