Something kids probably don't do anymore...

Can anyone remember the excitement that the newest edition of the Argos catalogue brought when you were a child? Ever thought you'd feel that good again? Well adults, take a step over here and re-live those moments... CLICK HERE TO EXPLORE THE FULL SET.
The design and layout of these pages is just grand.

DJ Shadow's new track/video...

Great song, Little Dragon seems to be cleaning up as of late. The video, though potentially BRILLIANT (the story could be told in a much more insane way) seems to have been done on a shoestring, perhaps to reflect the song title (did I just work that out while typing?). That said, using the memory man's story is such a stroke of genius, it hurts.

Great new TV spot for Barnardos.

Really does the job well.

Why didn't anyone tell me there was a 120m tall projection mapping project hosted by a world class DJ on my doorstep!? Momentum friends!

I've been wanting to see one of these for years. The wait continues...

Tashe time...

Movember.
After all your help last year, I was told that if I didn't do it this year it would just be selfish, so here we go again...

(last year)
I'll be growing a gnarley bit of facial hair for the month of November in the hope that all you wonderful people will think I look stupid and deem that enough to donate to the 'Movember' charity (Prostate and other cancer charities), mad thinking eh!? We can only hope.
In all seriousness, it's a great cause, so if you can spare a drop of your dollar, would be amazing.
Donate through my profile page... HERE!

Data visualisation at it's finest...

Kick back, slip ya digiscreens into high definizzy mode and relax...

20 Hz from Semiconductor on Vimeo.


"Data is really dry. Anything that can be put into an impenetrable spreadsheet and turned into an equally incomprehensible graph or bar-chart is usually best left well alone. But Semiconductor think not, in fact they ruddy love the data – so much so in fact that they’ve actively sought out data from the The Canadian Space Agency to utilise in their latest project. 20Hz is an audiovisual maelstrom of an animation that takes raw data from electromagnetic storms and re-interprets it with sound and light, allowing us just a little insight into the weather systems of the cosmos. It’s pretty stunning."

Wrap ya rets around this ill shit...

Incredibly well shot promo for Soulwax...

2.8 Hours Later... (A quick, 'I'm actually at work' review)


Right, so this Friday just passed, I went on a Zombie excursion. A 3 day event (one each day) where people are chased around the city by zombies. 2.8hrs Later.
It was ACE.
We were basically chased by moaning/screaming blood spitting zombies whilst we went from 'survivor' to 'survivor' (more actors to tell you a bit of story and then a co-ordinate to the next area). It was set in the back streets of Bermonsey, London. We went around dark alleys and streets, through building/pubs and were even made to battle our way to the top of a multi-story car park. All whilst evading the undead.

In this video (sorry its so shit, I was being chased by zombies) we are being told where to hed next by a mad butcher chopping meat in a dark section under a bridge, from the pitch black space behind him we can hear shuffling and moaning, then screams, then we are told to run through the darkness, past the zombies.
I very nearly 'excavated my demons'.
At the end was a zombie disco where the 'infected' were made-up as zombies and we all had a rather strange party.
10/10. Do it next year Londoners.
For a slighty better review... HERE.

INTERESTING FACT ALERT!: Zombies worth over $5 billion to economy.

'10 Point Review'... and 'Drive' rule 'tha' roost.


So Drive is GREAT (saw it this weekend and literally had to verbally let the person next to me how excited I was [hiest scene]).
Anyway, 10 Point Review is also great, my new go to cinema review site, went on there and was greeted by every film I wanted to see and nothing else, muh'ah fucka knows my film tastes better than my own memory.
It's a new blog from Gordon Comstock (of 'NotVoodoo', pretty sure he's some creative ad guy [all the best blogs are by them/us]).
Here's his description...
"Yo.
I've started a film blog, called Ten Point Review. You should really read it.
I write a post about a film or a book in ten points, in an hour. I'm going to do one or two a week."
'ave a butchers y'all... HERE.

Awesome.

Brrrrrrrr- (ooh ooh, ice cream on my nipple) -illiant video.

For all you amateur (and pro) filmmakers out there.

It's all about that rat...


Rattus Rattus, must-see Dubstep/Mashup/Rave/the list goes on DJ, has been on the game (no, he's not a 'lady of the night', its just a figure of speech) for a few years and is doing BIG things across the UK right now, not to mention trembling the eardrums of thinking ravers everywhere. I heard about Rattus a couple of years ago through a friend of mine whom he gave one of his, now infamous, mixtapes to to play in his shop. This particular mix went by the name of 'Raped by Bass Vol.2' and as soon as I heard it I wanted it, like a rare
Pokemon. The cover was hand drawn in chunky marker and had a 90's cassette mixtape feel about it, I demanded a way of getting the mix myself and was graciously provided with THIS LINK where I was met by a full page of ratty goodness (which I now pass on to you like a proud father handing down a family heirloom). He's had his fingers in many musical pies, see his Google results (yeah thats right, I'm just throwing the internet at ya rasclat, get stuck in), Radio 1Xtra, Urban Nerds etc etc.
So anyway, Rattus, (who is a busy fella, has just done full mix for i-D Magazine) was kind enough to step behind the decks for 'Sweatyyetti' and spin us up a personal mix to get you all coiled and ready for the weekend, lovely chap... ENJOY...

Keep up to date with what he's up to on his FACESMACK PAGE and go see him mash up a venue near you ASAP...
Believe the hype.
It's all about that Rat.

Nice!

Music is one thing in life I could not live without, I would give my left hand for 90% of the artists on my ipod to keep producing and this man is one of my favorites. His visuals are looking very cool. Just praying he takes this tour to Glastonbury this year...

Theatrical projection mapping...

Though I must admit i've had my head out of the projection world for a while, I can't say i've seen anything with quite as much fast-paced interactivity as this little number. Theatre productions TAKE NOTE, time to modernise your men-under-sheets-with-eye-holes-cut-out ghosts!

Wisdom schmisdom...

So... had my wisdom tooth out yesterday, thought I'd share the story with y'all.
After hearing endless tales from friends telling me how painful it would be (thanks you guys), I actually found the procedure far less harrowing that expected. I guess their plan was to build it up so much that when the event happened it was nothing, a bit like being persuaded to watch the Xfactor.
I know it wasnt a great way to cure those pre-dental jitters, but I was actually couldn't stop thinking about the 'Ren's Toothache' episode the whole time...

Anyway, I now have my tooth (obviously was always gonna keep it, never know when that little baby might come in handy right??), kinda feel like I should mix it up with frogs eyes and bats toes to make some sort of witches potion.
I feel like I gave birth to that tooth and it is now my duty to care for it and put it to good use. Im planning to keep it as some sort of lucky charm. Perhaps I can slip it back in my gum hole when I need my wisdom at full throttle.

The proud father ('s hand) and his creation.
A true beauty, I think you'll agree.

NY is killin me, reprise.

This souly little number by Gil Scott Heron Re-worked (audio and visual) by none other than Chris Cunningham.

Yes, "Since 2003 his focus has moved to music: he produced two tracks on The Horrors' Mercury Prize--nominated Primary Colours; won a Cannes Golden Lion for his reworking of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" in his 2008 Gucci Flora commercial; and created audiovisual remixes for Gil Scott-Heron and Grace Jones. Recently, he has headlined festivals around the world with his new live show, and is presently working on his first audiovisual album."
I'm Excited.

on a side, NY is killing me, note.... listen to this 'lil beauty... (thanks Bec)

Jamie xx is absolutly 'KILLIN' the remix scene right now!

The power of high defininition cinematics is best served with a slice of butter

just saw 'The Kings Speech' on Saturday afternoon (brilliant by the way), Was plesently surprised when this new Lurpak ad crossed my retinas in gleaming quality.

It came across really beautifully in the cinema enviroment, Ive decided I actually like to watch the pre-film ads etc almost as much as the film itself.
Heres another little short I remember seeing before 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'...
