We Are The World

If all of humanity was to be condensed into flag form (as apposed to song form), what would it look like? That objective is no small feat but nevertheless, the kind and gentle folks over at Adbusters are aiming to find out. Through user submitted work, Adbusters are currently featuring 32 designs that patiently await your approval. Oh and I'm not too keen on the design in the lead so if you could go ahead and not vote for that one I'd appreciate it.

Coffee Is Not The Answer

This is kind of like Reefer Madness but with coffee. And truer.

The Universe Is Big

Here it is folks. After much deliberation I have decided to come to terms with the fact that the universe is large.

Um.. Er .. Um.

Well it's been a little while since my last post. Kinda struggling to think of something. Speaking of struggling, it could be worse. I could be this guy! Amirite or what?!

Holy Snap!

Attention World: Thee Oh Sees have just posted new music on their Myspace page. Freak-out accordingly.

A River Runs Through It

This could double as lost footage from the History Channels "Life After People" special. (Or perhaps the book it was based on, for all those fancy pants book reading elitists out there.) I rather liked the synopsis provided by The Independent in regards to the project:
For all its apparent easiness, in other words, Flooded McDonald's is really rather complex. Since it is clearly a work with a message, that message must be complex, too. The words "Danish collective" and "film about McDonald's" suggest straightforward agitprop, but Superflex's work is much cleverer than that. It understands that gruesome things become popular because they fulfil a human need – for a quick hit of salt and sugar, squashiness and warmth, for nourishment that can feel like care. Flooded McDonald's is certainly judgemental, but it isn't punitive: it happily admits that life is made up of equal parts of comedy and tragedy. It is a lovely, humane film, Scandinavian in a good way. I very much recommend you see it, although perhaps leave the popcorn at home.
