A Bouquet of Fuck–me–nots – best music design award ever. For The Manifest (Swedish Independent Music Awards) prize, designed by Max Magnus Norman who comments on his blog:
The prize symbolizes the kick ass- and fuck off mentality which is necessary in order to succeed as an independent artist. An intimation that one has to override rules and borders in order to create new paths.
Lego agencies continue to push creative boundaries not just products. To promote the 3D version of Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace, a barrel made of 20,000 Lego pieces was built and showcased around German theatres. When rotating the barrel played the film’s signature theme tune:
“the barrel was constructed by pro Lego builders Rene Hoffmeister and Axel Al-Rubaie, and features well-known locations from the series, including the Death Star, Tatooine, and Endor”
I LOVE Depeche Mode (esp. Martin Gore) so this video of a DILF covering Depeche Mode’s Everything Counts with his two children is perfect Sunday morning watching. The little boy is AMAZING…
Dicken feat. Milah & Korben: “Everything Counts” ROCKS!
And the real thing…
This Hop Hop Horsey video below is incredible on so many levels – I appear to have discovered of a new corner of the internet where people simply replace music on videos of dressage performances (via).
Lovely Rene from Nerdcore sent me a link to this Iceage (awesome Danish band) video saying, and I quote, “like The Futureheads but new”.
I was like yeah yeah yeah but in fact I can actually see where he is coming from although clearly no one can ever measure up to the beautiful North Eastern tones of The Futureheads and my wonderful friends the ever wondrous Barry, Jaff, Ross & Dave.
PS: They also answered my question on who the fuck still uses My Space 
Editing does not get tougher than this… (thanks James)

Finding out that in 1970 Alice Cooper was in the middle of performing a song when someone threw a pineapple up-sidedown cake at him made my night – it’s the retro chic of a pineapple up-sidedown cake that nailed it for me I think! Explanation for latest rush of Alice Cooper cake knowledge coming soon but in the meantime check out the awesome image below (feel a people jumping out of cakes Tumblr coming on)…
Jammie dodger Britton posted a link to her final year university project on this site’s Facebook page and it was so good I just had to contact her and ask for more information to share;
The event was our final year project for Art, Event and performance BA hons at Leeds metropoltian University, we are the first to graduate on this degree as it has only been running for 3 years making us the pioneers of AEP. We have had a week long festival full of all our fellow students final project called the “lift off festival” with many different peformances and installations alongside exhibitions of the documentation of students work. My collegue Marina Demetriadis and I decided we wanted to create an interactive fun event and soon became an event to launch the lift off festival. The launch event combined the celebration of carnival and the ideas of dead of the day, a celebration in style for the end of one chapter in our lives and the entering of an new chapter in an entirely unqiue way. The launch event kicked off the weeks procceedings starting with an introduction from The Lady of the dead, encouraging everyone to join in with a masquarde parade. Masks were handed out and everyone was given a hand held instrument, lead by the lady of the dead and the sound of the lead drums close behind her.
Everyone joined in with making music while heading to the next part of there journey, once at the end of the parade the audience were seated and met by the performance of rockit belly dance troupe who performaced to well known rock songs, the audience were then handed wine and asked to join the lady of the dead in a toast. This was then followed by a performace from the lady of the dead creating a sacrifice to restore balance and protection to all present, during this the heart was ripped out from the human sacrifice (made entirley from cake and sugary goodness) and bitten into then offered to an audience memember, then going back to the body and slicing into the head, the auidence were then asked to come up to the altar in order to recieve their slice!!! Some shyed away from the oppurtunity later saying that they couldn’t get their mind past the idea of it being a human body and like me other revelled in the idea of free cake!!
OMG I love this so much & was properly giggling all the way through – no surprise really as whilst I am not a metal fan as such I gave my lovely friend Dan two metal cook books for Christmas from Amazon (see below) and have been plotting a heavy metal BBQ with The Jellymongers for a few months now… There is something ridiculous about pairing metal music with food that makes it work gloriously!
