Hardcore Drive-by
Fucking ridiculous. I love how the strategically placed 'bystanders' jump into action out of nowhere.
Cannot Believe It

Adam Lazzara of Taking Back Sunday
Covering The Killers 'when you were young'. Beautiful. Sorry it's a bit quiet. Reminds me, should really finish the cover me and Rob did of this song.

Music
Original version of RoboCop, by Kanye West. Better than the album version in my opinion. I don't know why Daft Punk are in that picture, but it looks cool.
808's & Heartbreak
The alternative cover by KAWS. This album is incredible. Different, but incredible. Bit of a shame that RoboCop has been re-done, complete with annoying Strings in the verse. But the 2 songs either side of it, Paraniod & Street Lights, are the best on the album. Ye's bringing 808's back. I love Autotune. And this album.

Remember the days when....
...She was pretty, talented and actually have something resembling a career ? Where is she now ? Oh yeah, off smoking loads of weed and pissing everyone off.
Effort
The Hong Kong store for Billionaire Boys Club/Ice Cream, Pharrell Williams' clothing & shoe company. The whole ice-cream-shop-but-with-shoes-not-ice-cream thing is incredible.
BAPE Pepsi can
Probably tastes 10x better than normal Pepsi. I know that's not "scientifically" possible - maybe your mind tricks you or something.
I'm re-discovering my love for BAPE today
Cue many BAPE related posts.
This is the BAPE store in Hong Kong. God i wish my floor was like that.

K.O.L
This band is amazing. Out of the 70-something bands i've been lucky enough to see live, their set at Reading 2007 may be the best i've seen. Now i think of it, i don't think i've heard a properly bad KOL song.
I really hope they don't become one of those bands who people start to hate because they become to big/popular (like fucking NME is starting to), because they deserve every bit of their success.
Guitars
Italia Guitars - Maranello Speedster, around £200. Saw this in the giant guitar shop in London last year and finally found out what it is.
Captain Fantastic
'Tis a good night. Matthew Upson of all people gets the first. Terry gets the winner = 2-1. Germany booed off by their own fans. Result.

Piccadilly Circus
I'll admit it looks better when your standing in front of it, seeing it with your own eyes. But it's no Times Square. Or seemingly any street in Tokyo.
Times Square (Pic 1)
"The crossroads of the world".......or something. I wanna go there. I say pic 1 because i will be putting up many more - i like the way it looks at night. The closest i have to this is Piccadilly Circus, 100 miles away.
Continuing the Rainier Wolfcastle theme
"Let's get silly". The Woody Allen impression is priceless. Sorry for the annoying Hulu stuff.
Best Simpsons episode ever ?
Homer's stretching competition with those guys is funny, but this bit takes the cake.
The Strokes - Room on Fire
I Love this album, i always seem to listen to it repeatedly around this time of year.
Past "Crazes"
Been ill for a few days, but nothing that was keeping me down for long. For some reason got thinking about all the Fads i have experienced over my years, and feel compelled to share them with you. Random i know, but here they are:
1. Tazos - These things came and went so fast ! I remember Sylvester the cat being so very rare.
2. Pogs - I thought pogs were the bomb in the mid-90's. Now i detest them.
3. Football stickers - This was probably my favourite craze. The lads in my primary school went crazy for these things. The 1995 album was the first one i got. I always remember the West Ham team was so friggin' hard to find, but our teacher had all of them stuck on her board. I used to get so upset when Mum wouldn't buy me one 30p pack, but then Dad would come home with 10. Simpler times.
4. Pokemon Cards - The year 2000 was the year of these babies for me. Never new how to play the game, too complicated for folk like me. Just liked the pictures on the cards. How Prideaux managed to get the card above i will never know, that thing was like gold dust.
5. WWF - This one is questionable i know, but many were obsessed with wrestling. We used to make a wrestling ring in my living room, then throw each other off the sofa. My brother found out he was cool, when he picked up my 6 foot 6, 12.5 stone friend over his head and powerslammed him, when he was 11 years old.

Classic Youtube
Nothing cures the illness blues like some classic youtube vids. I remember this one from years ago. This song is a 90's classic.

The Office, USA style
This programme cannot get any better. I loves it.
All you Office purists who dismiss the US version should really watch it. Its great. This video is a compilation of Jim's pranks on Dwight (Dwight is the equivalent of Gareth from the original, Jim is the equivalent of Tim). Good stuff.
Lest we forget....
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Goal for Manchester United today, with a free-kick. Then he went and scored another free-kick to make it 101 goals. They beat Stoke City 5 - 0. Congrats !!!
"Keep a calendar, this way you will always know..."
December 15th is THE date in my diary. 30 days to go.
Un.Believable
From NME.com -
"characters from channel 4 series Hollyoaks are set to release a real single.
The Dirty Diego's - a fictional band in the series - release single 'play' on November 24.
The band feature the soaps characters Josh Ashworth on lead guitar, Michaele McQueen on lead vocals, Sasha Valentine on keyboards & Amy Barnes on drums"
This has got to be a crime, right? An act of terrorism on our ears. Besides, nothing will beat Ross Kemp as far as soap/music careers go.
The needle in the haystack
Find me a pair of these shoes, and i will explode. So nice. impossibly hard to find.
This Game cannot be beaten
from all the way back in 1996. The 2007 remake butchered this level. I still play this game today.
Home
This is where i live. Note the 5 feet of empty space i can do whatever i want with. I'm thinkin' a Bear-skin rug.
And yes, that is a PS2.
Greetings
Now you, my loyal subjects, have access to my innermost thoughts - whenever, wherever.
it's bound to be amazing, right ?
The Journey Starts Here...........and may very well end here, knowing my attention span.
