The Fight That Killed Oasis


A brief synopsis of the row in France that ended it all:
-
Liam was playing guitar backstage.
Noel criticised Liam's playing.
Liam threw his own guitar at Noel.
The guitar landed at Noel's feet.
Noel jumped up and down on it, laughing.
Liam realised he'd just smashed his own guitar.
Liam grabbed Noel's guitars and smashed them up.
Noel stopped laughing, Liam started.
Noel said 'fuck this' and got in a cab.
End of Oasis.

Daft Punk + TR2N = Genius


This is the best news I've heard all week. All month in fact.
-
Somebody at Disney has really got their head on a swivel (c) Ron Burgundy.
Pioneering French dance music geniuses (yes, I'm a fan) Daft Punk have been signed up to score the forthcoming Tron sequel, 'TR2N', or 'Tron 2.0' depending on who you believe. The original is still a defining moment of my youth, and I get warm and fuzzy inside (not in a gay way though) when I think of Jeff Bridges throwing that deadly neon frisbee at 'the red blokes'.
-
This is the greatest fit in history. Well, the greatest fit since this one anyway. I'm putting money on this being the best album and best film of 2011.

Citroen 2CV x Hermes

To celebrate it's 60th birthday, Citroen asked the design team at Hermes to give their classic 2CV model a makeover.
Featuring their trademark colour as well as some neat leather accessories (see the inside of the drivers door) and of course the Hermes stamp on the dashboard, this is the quirky fashion victims dream come true.

DJ Cam - Summer In Paris mp3


This is not new, and I've not posted it for any reason other than it has rained all day in London and the summery sounds cheer me up. (This is the first of what will be many 'weather-depressed' posts).
