Spam of the week
From: “Cothran” [who I imagine is 6’5” in a green jumpsuit and yellow cape] Subject: Learn this before banging her “The new name of your rod is Mighty with the wonder drug in here. http://www.[linkredacted].com/” When it comes to incoherent spam, please remember: Brevity counts. Cothran here evokes the all of *feeling* without the 100 -200 word ramble so...

Remember when I said this
Sooner or later, someone somewhere is going to catch on to the fact that whoever is updating the Number 10 Twitter account is having far too much fun - answering questions, being rational, civil and connected - and is going to make him/her stop. At which point I can say, “I told you so.” And also “Would you like a job?” This leads to what should really be a longer post...
Your weekly bear wrestling round-up
Gemma and I actually had an argument about this. She maintains that bear wrestling is something that people “just do”. I felt, in my heart, that this was the kind of thing that no sane person would ever do. Anywhere. Ever.
Well, I was wrong.
There. I said it.
So, in the name of magnaminity, I bring you this Bear Wrestling Round Up
Ah! The nobility of man! The savagery of...

Queen Kong
Generally speaking when you see Robin Asquith and Rula Lenska in the credits you know you’re not going to be in for a trenchant and revealing piece of cinema-verite about, say, the feminine id in run up to the Russo-Japanese war of 1906. Even so, this looks like it might genuinely be the worst film ever.
A world of disturbing meat commercials
Out of nowhere, (well, actually out of a Tweet from Dhammond ) I’ve become embroiled in the disturbing world of old Estonian TV commercials. The above is perhaps the most unsettling, but a purist might add that what it really needs to push it over the edge is a reinterpretation of a song from Jesus Christ Superstar. Caution: The “Related Videos” panel will suck you into a new...
“Someone should have told Calvin Harris that not backing up your work might have...”
– Me - on Twitter, in relation to this.
Muxtape - still kicking ass after a week
I assumed like everyone else that the site would last a day and half. I’m overjoyed that it’s lasted as long as it has. In honour of that, I got round to actually making one. Woo! (And, to save me the job of doing another post, you can safely swap the words Muxtape with the words MGMT)

The Band, The Staples Singers, The Weight
One of the many thousands of highlights from the coke and overdub frenzy that is Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Waltz”.
Two good reasons to post this video: (other, that is, than it being one of the best songs EVAR.)
1) That tracking/dolly shot around 38s that justifies the whole fucking movie. (It might be the way the camera swoops, it might be something to do with it just...

Fantastic, if morbid, screen prints.
