A Mighty Wind
Love this, it took place in some Scandiwegian country, the speed on the rotary blade control was shot which ended up with this happening:

I feel bloody awful
it’s been six weeks since my last post. I started a new job but there really is no excuse. I’ve decided I may want to change th content of it so will be back in a couple of days whe I’ve finalised what that is…
I bet you’re waiting with baited breath…
Air Force One CB34
I’m absolutely loving these badgers. Based on the old CB 180’s that came out for the Barcelona 92 Olympics they’re just the right mixture of old and new. Colorway is pretty sweet too… No idea on release dates though.
Halo Players Hate Gays
Here’s a video I came across on Cyberspace of an openly homosexual gamer (xxxGayBoyxxx) on Xbox Live getting abuse from various different players. Although he admits that not all the comments were not necessarily hateful it is pretty interesting to hear how many meatheads there are in the gaming world. What’s even more interesting is that most of them have very camp voices.
New J-Dilla Busta Rhymes mixtape out today
We’re in for more treats from J Dilla and Busta Rhymes with the release of Dillagence. The genius producer left a whole array of beats behind which were given personally to Busta and now he’s teamed up with DJ Mick Boogie to put this mixtape together in J Dilla’s honour.
“Mick is a real underground hip-hop historian,” Busta told SOHH of the project. “When he brought this concept to the table, I felt like the timing was right to rep the late great J-Dilla.”
“Busta and I had worked together on his “King of the Remixes” CD and I felt like this would be a next logical step for us, plus I always wanted to do something Dilla related, and with him and Busta being so close, this was perfect,” Mick Boogie added.
Looking forward to getting stuck in.
The Sweetest Thing
Have had to do a very quick post about the sweetest trainers I’ve seen in a long time, and they’re in store at Microzine right now. Microzine have brought back limited edition trainers, like the New Balance Stingray III: Fucked Up and Reebok BB5600s but my favourites are the collaborations between DKNY and German pixel twisters Eboy. Pure visual pleasure, it’s not often I’d buy a pair of trainers to keep boxfresh, but these would be them.
MoMail…email everywhere
The future is here and the future is MoMail. Not heard of it yet? It’s a matter of time. Momail is simple, free downloadable software that turns any mobile into one that can receive and deal with email. A mobile email account that levels the playing field between those with crackberrys and those without. Compatible with all existing email accounts like Hotmail and Gmail and free, it pushes emails to your phone, alerts you with an SMS style alert and minimizes content so you can view it on your handset. We’re waiting for the catch.
Talking your way to the top
Who thought the South Bank centre would be ones to get down with it? It being the freestyle oral workouts of modern one man bands, beatboxing. They’ve hired beatboxer meister Shlomo as their new artist in residence, after seeing the multi-talented motormouth combine beatboxing through a loop sampler, beatboxing and drumming simultaneously. He’s set to collaborate with artists as diverse as Martha Wainwright and DJ Yoda as well as bringing back the Beatbox Choir that played at Big Chill earlier this year and 2008 will see the return of the International Beatbox Convention. And for the more highbrow of us, there will also be a series of gigs called ‘Music Through Unconventional Means’ where Shlomo will perform with unusual artists and encourage them to ‘engage outside their comfort zone.’
Bizmo - cool gizmo
So no longer are we just consumers and listeners of music, we can now make money from our personal preferences and favourite artists. Bizmo is a new widget that is easy to cut and paste in blogs and social networking sites that allows people to buy tickets for gigs. They get an instant text message ticket and a pdf ticket to their email and can pay by credit card, text or paypal all within the widget, and you as host get a percentage. FeedMe music is the first music promoter to start using this, but the widget also sells MP3s, ringtones, pictures and video clips…enabling up and coming acts to cash in on the content craze.
