“Soft, warm, fuzzy, fake.”

Back to Bluntdom: Your ‘Beauty’ Corrupted The Kids

“It’s plastic fantasy for the media junky generation: dance dance dance to the radio but STOP for Blunt and his tears, kids; he cries for you and I and all can relate to his woe. Well woah indeed, bucky. Why am I reading Q today and finding David Gray praised but a finger’s count of pages away from the retelling of the Cobain tale? Why should fans of Gray check out Sparklehorse? What the fuck has happened since Ooberman made me dance like a child and Idlewild’s ‘Idea Track’ had me jumping drunkenly from chairs in other peoples’ rooms in halls of residence that weren’t my own? That’s not so long ago; it’s not so long ago when commercially viable music could mean something more than this, this utter vacancy, this vacuous cunt of snide smirks cutting through Tiny Tears outpourings on my fuckin’ television singing to me a lullaby of the utmost banality.”

The Magic Numbers

Wrighty: Just found that Alison has The Magic Numbers on her shared iTunes. It’s jingly jangly pop fun.
Wrighty: Even if they are phat.
Wrighty: I mean in terms of their talent…
Wrighty: Please come back…
Matthew: A great *big* melting pot…
Wrighty: Play TOTP, please?
Matthew: I didn’t mean you were fat, I meant melting pot as in incestuous…
Matthew: Bugger.

“By iteration 1 … 7-2-9-4-5-3-4″

Lost premiered last week in the UK on Channel 4 - I didn’t really know much about it except that it was and I’m pleased to say that it has me gripped. The premise is that an airliner crash lands on a desert islands with 48 (unfeasibly attractive) survivors. However, it soon becomes aparent help won’t be coming anytime soon when they discover a distress signal has been transmitted from the island for the past 16 years from a previous crash meaning they will all have to work together to survive. Each of them has secrets and the island does too - what exactly is in the jungle?

To accompany the series, Channel 4 have employed the firm that put together the excellent Donnie Darko website to create Lost - Untold. How many secrets can you find hidden in the site?

“Ha ha ha! GUHHHHN FINGAS!”

“When I’m with you, Talia, I… feel like I’m drowning.”
“So… what’s so bad about drowning, Murdock?”
“Well. You die.”
“Okay, two things.”

Space, man?

“The Air Force was only too happy to agree, but at a crippling price. What the Air Force wanted to launch was spy sattelites - lots of them, bulky telescopes with heavy mirrors, the bigger the better - and it wanted to launch them in an orbit over the Earth’s poles, so they could snoop over the maximum amount of Red territory.”

A Rocket To Nowhere

A great in-depth article about the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station and how they both exist just to perpetuate the existance of the other.
