People Under The Stairs - Trippin' At The Disco (Video)

Good video.

Alicia Keys' new video

Back on Track?

They all count!

Everton 0 Red Men 2

BlakRoc - First the album, now the car...?

The album drops next week, and it's good. How can it not be?

-

But rarely is my first thought, having found an album that I like;

"now I just need the car to go with it".

-

Maybe that's why Dame Dash is rich and I'm not.

Major Lazer - Keep It Going Louder (Video)

Directed by Eric Wareheim.

Musically, not my thing. Visually.. if this doesn't scare you you're mental.

Extraordinary Measures - Trailer

Hmm.

As a new father, I'm struggling to watch anything where 'bad things' could or do happen to children.

Watching the news is bad enough...

Landmine Ketchup

Landmine Ketchup by Publicis Mojo.

-

They say; "Using a ketchup sachet, we demonstrated the horrific nature of living in a land mine affected country and how much a part of everyday life that horror is. The idea is simple: as you tear open the sachet you also rip through the child's leg and the ketchup inside pours out like blood."

New from Vampire Weekend.

Off their inbound 'Contra' album, dropping in Jan 2010 on XL Records.

The Thick of It - British TV at it's best

This is the best thing on TV at the moment.

Armando Ianucci's political piss-take is right up my street in every way. It exposes the cynicism, spin and reactionary 'let's please middle England' nature of modern politics. But the best part is the dialogue. This is a one-stop-shop for all your scathing, pithy put-down needs. This clip covers one of my favourite lines from Series 1 (still the strongest series, although the current series, showing on BBC 2 on Saturday nights, is racking up the quotables week in, week out).

Since I saw this, I've wanted to say "you just took a shit with your clothes on" to my wife when the moment was right, but then I realised she usually comes to me admitting she has just taken a shit with her clothes on. She has a problem...

Louis CK @ The Improv (Video)

This dude comes with a big Ricky Gervais co-sign.

'Pause' on the "this dude comes" comment...

Greenberg - Trailer

This doesn't look like you average Ben Stiller nonsense...

Pirelli 2010 Calendar - Rudeness x 12 (NSFW!)

Although I have posted the odd naughty picture in my time, I cannot post 12 of them and not feel like a dirty old man.

-

Terry Richardson has really pushed the boat out this time with his 2010 Pirelli calendar work. For the uninitiated, the Pirelli calendar is, effectively, a high class version of those dirty calendars mechanics used to have up in the office (which I remember staring at as a boy while my mum's car got fixed).

Obama - Hopes Fading Fast T-Shirt

Wow. What a difference a year makes...

-

Just 12 months ago, Obama was going to change the world. Now, it appears, some of his shine is wearing off. The chaps at freshjive have created the t-shirt above, in response to the apparant lack of change ushered in by America's 'new' President during his first 52 weeks in the big job.

-

Personally, I think the criticism of his tenure is a little harsh. His priority was to steady a sinking ship, and repair some of the damage that Georgie Bush Junior had done since 2001. He seems to be doing okay in that respect.

-

I'm sure much of the criticism is based on unrealistic hopes for immediate, wide-ranging change, and the rest is generated by conservatives who would rather have a President with his finger on the trigger, ready to smash down a few third world countries whose political/social/religious ideals differ from theirs.

Extra-P visits Ameoba Records

I'm posting this for 2 reasons:

(1) The Large Professor is an excellent producer

(2) I've been to Ameoba in San Francisco. It's my spiritual home. I can literally spend 8 hours in there, just staring at the walls. In terms of hero-worship, the dude who owns these record shops is my God. If you like vinyl music, you must make the pilgramage to this store shop. In fact, I need to book a trip to the States soon, if only to do some shopping.

Oasis - The Boy with the Blues (Audio)

Another 'lost' Oasis track that I'm listening to on repeat at the moment...
