Big 'Nother

Hello 2008 all enlightened and hopeful... the year of Climate change and global economic collapse... the year when natural disasters occur more often than Lindsey Lohan up-skirts.

Why is it then that with all that's going on in the world Big Brother is back infecting our television sets once again? Now I'm all for holding auditions and selecting the most "wacky", "outrageous", "opinionated" and misguided idiots in the country but surely not for the purposes of television... Call it a public service, call it cleansing the nation's gene pull... call it what you like but would any of us be worse off without these fame hungry examples of all that is wrong with the world today. Harsh yes, but wrong? I think not... To quote Charlie Brooker "They are so stupid they have to whistle when going to the toilet to know which end to shit out of"

Against my will and better judgment I subjected my senses to the last half an hour or so of last nights "herding of the twats" that is BB's launch night. As microcosms go, this year's looks to be one of the more outlandish and inaccurate ones... lets see we have 1x albino, 1 x blind guy, 1 x wacky homosexual, 1 x slut, 2 x hmm Hmmm ghetto it girls... (it girls should really be changed to tit girls in my opinion, at best this is all they seem to offer)

In fact to waste anymore time and energy dissecting the layers of shit that build up Big Brother would be vastly disproportionate to its worth, so suffice to say I will be hoping for an electrical fire this year... Text "FIRE" to 88617

Viva La Hype Machine!

HYPE MACHINE

A great site for streaming music of all genres and era's... B-sides, live versions, rarities they're all there!

How does it work? I don't hear you ask.... Well, it searches through music blog after music blog for uploaded tracks and then you can listen to them or go to the blog and download it directly (If you're that way inclined)*sometimeslifesok does not condone this kind of behavior OK?!

I'm currently listening to a selection Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends tracks. Its seemingly a new direction for them, and should hopefully dissuade some of their detractors from complaining about the same old dull ballads... only time will tell I guess.
