I’ve seen a hell of a lot of weird and wonderful Youtube clips (as i’m sure you have too..) that its about time i start sharing them again. My favourites tend to be those weird clips taking from a webcam… Here are a random few that have caught my eye recently.
Survivor, by Destiny’s Child. Ukulele Style.
Some Random Kid reviews Rambo.
Some other Random Kid Having A Bad Day:
that last one just breaks my heart on so many levels. please if you’re gonna comment, be nice..
Oh, and the song at the start and end of this weeks show is Flourescent Adolescent by the Artic Monkeys. It has nothing to do with anything we talk about, i just dig it.

Someone, somewhere on the tubes pointed me toward these 4 clips of Ira Glass from This American Life discussing storytelling. If it was you, tell me so i can give you credit!
EDIT: it was the very funny Leslie Nassar (thanks Will Hughes)

Two of the most important cultural points of my life have come together..
Back To The Future, the film that made me wanna make movies, and Grand Theft Auto, the games that i spent far too long playing when i should have been at film school, are together at last.

I’ve mentioned the brilliant program This American Life a few times before, but I’ll mention it again, because it just continues to amaze me.
This week i had a mini-holiday, and spent alot of time just wandering about with my iPod on. I’d ran out of new Podcasts by the second day, so i opened up iTunes to look for new stuff. Thats when i realised old episodes of This American Life can be bought through iTunes for 99 cents.
All we’re random picks, and all were the usual high quality. But that final episode, The Allure of Crime, was exceptional. If you’ve never heard this American Life before, start here (you can listen for free clicking the link).

I just heard that Tony Martin will be “getting the arse” after this year, by the fucking morons at Austereo.
Tony Martins Get This has been the best radio program in a decade, and the one thing that has brought me back to commercial radio, after a solid two years of listening to nothing but my iPod and podcasts.
I really dont understand how corporate media works. They seem to only promote the most mundane crap and cancel anything thats good.
Austereo, Get This was your Arrested Development. The intelligent, hilarious show that made up for the rest of the crap you broadcast. The show that made me think you werent as stupid as you clearly are.
I only hope another network will see Austereo’s mistake, and throw wads of cash at messieurs Martin, Kavalee, and Marsland. And maybe, just maybe, they will allow the boys to play music that they want to play, not the high rotation shit from the Triple M catalogue.
