Beatallica

Finally got round to listening to Beatallica, a band that covers Beatles tunes in the style of Metallica (if the name didn’t give it away to start with) - and they’re great.

I recommend you go listen / download quick before they get completely wiped off the internet. For a taste try out A Garage Dayz Nite.mp3

“nobody said it would be original, nobody said it would be this similar”

From MeFi, a link to an mp3 file with Coldplay - The Scientist and Sum41 - Pieces in the left and right stereo channels respectively. Listen along for the similarities and wait for the two channels to join up near the end.

It’s almost formulaic…

(Just to get revenge Coldplay and Apple conspired to ensure that just after hearing this the very next song iTunes ‘randomly’ played was The Scientist. You guys.)

Update: Original link went south, try this one coldsum.mp3

” I am Jack’s complete lack of vowels.”

“The first rule of Internet Scrabble Club is that you make a predictable Fight Club reference in any posts pertaining to it.” - and so starts one of the funniest MeFi threads for a long old time.

Posted for those two friends who are mortal Scrabble adversaries…

Amateurish

“We had lots of ideas: a better answering machine, online education tools, job hunting sites, baby blogs, personalized text ads, personalized news services. Sure, we could build a personalized text ads service! But what if it works? Do we really want to run that business?”

A weekend of walking

Saturday: Failed to find Mac Minis for sale in the entire of London; instead walked from Regent Street to Tate Modern via Westminster.
Sunday: Failed to drive to Henley, got lost and ended up back in Reading, instead walked alongside the Thames for a bit and then got a burger.

(Yes, a Big Mac.)

“It’s well weapon”

You may have seen the posters on the tube for the Wasp T12 Speechtool. I hadn’t taken much notice of them until Ricky pointed out that they’re part of the promo campaign for the new Chris Morris sitcom, Nathan Barley, based on the TV Go Home listing, Cunt. To give you an idea of the potential of the show, here’s one of my favourite listings:

The prettiest girls you’ve ever met

The Pipettes have got a spangly new site and it’s much better than the old one. They are the best thing ever.
