Ian Brown + Carling 24

If you’re from London and havn’t heard about the Carling 24 event then… well, you should have. Every scrubber’s favourite drinks brand are putting on another 24 hour festival spanning 8 venues and featuring over a dozen bands. Kaiser Chiefs kick off the event at 7pm tonight (Friday 28th), finishing with Razorlight, 24 hours later. If you’re not an indie wonderboy, you may be saying “Chris, aren’t those bands err, a bit shit?” Well then I suggest you get down to Islington Academy at 11pm tonight for Ian Brown with support from the Scratch Perverts. Tickets are sold out and resell rate outside the venue will probably excess £100 for two, but I can give you an EXCLUSIVE promise that it will be money well spent. The show will also be broadcast live on Channel 4.

Wii
Love it or hate it(I think its great). The new Nintendo Revolution got renamed this morning and will now be called Wii. Similar to Intels VIIV but I think more on target than the boys in blue. I’m seriously a Nintendo fanboy, I know this company can do nothing wrong and I know I have an army of fanboys behind me when I say that the Nintendo Wii will be the best system to day from the Big N!

Portishead is one of few bands that continue to inspire me in just about everything i do. no matter what the mood or location. Portishead always has that great musical effect of removing me from my surroundings and straightening out my thoughts.

RED

What do you do if you’re a multi-billionaire that loves cameras and is really bored?

If you guessed invent the first ever digital cinema camera that records (4k) 4520×2540 pixels, (35mm motion picture film is currently 2k) with a 12 Megapixel CMOS sensor, and can utilize any PL mount 35, S35, or 16mm lens, then you’re right!

Boys and girls, film died today.

(p.s. RED if you’re reading this, put a little money into a less lame website and better 3d renders of the product)

It’s an annual event they promote that usually happens after a holiday. They also promote buy nothing day on Black Friday. So for this day be an activist for a week and use the time you’d be lying on the couch watching TV, know that you could be doing something better like paint or even skate.

Benny Benassi - Who’s Your Daddy


For those who remember his other video “Satisfaction”, he’s back again. This time instead of hot girls playing with powertools, the girls remake classic 70’s cult porn…with cool motion graphics.

Herman~!


The mighty bunny weighs a massive 7.7kg, and his ears are a lengthy 21cm - almost as long as most pet rabbits are tall.
