Just Another Social Profile Really

One of the best things I saw at Stream 09 was a video by Yossi Vardi, the Israeli tech-legend who co-hosts the event with WPP CEO Sir Martin Sorrell. It’s a spoof of the excellent Kobe Bryant Nike viral and got a big laugh when he showed it on the last night. The Kobe video [...]

I love the internet, I really do. Not just the fact that it comes up with things like this & this but because it really is a way of meeting new people and finding things you never would have done otherwise. For instance last year I spoke at SMX London (where I’ll be again in [...]

The Streets’ new single The Escapist has been released as a free download and it’s definitely worth getting hold of. It’s got a lot more in common with Dry Your Eyes than Don’t Mug Yourself or his other more lively tracks and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Mike Skinner’s not the same young man [...]

Via Jus’ Like Music (which I think is run by a guy I used to know on MOG), this is the video for the track (My 1st) Big Break by the amazing DJ & producer Cut Chemist, taken from his debut solo album The Audience’s Listening. Not only is it an amazing song but the [...]

Yeah, I know, it’s been around since December of last year, but I’m nearly 33, do you expect me to be with it or something? Anyway, Bruce Willis Billy Joel (why the hell did I put Bruce Willis?!) meets Bubble 2.0: enjoy. As the song says: Won’t you blog about this song? OK.

Alternative US rock band Weezer have come up with a great video for their new single Pork and Beans. It ‘stars’ a load of people who have become ‘famous’ over the last few years thanks to the memes that have littered the web. So, you’ve got the guy who sang along to Numa Numa, but [...]

Erykah Badu’s track Soldier has an amazing video which is very close to my heart; unfortunately she, or her record company, have seen fit to deny it to us (can’t find it anywhere), so you’ll have to take my word for it.. If you know anything about Erykah Badu you won’t be surprised to learn [...]

Robert Palmer’s videos are probably some of the most imitated in the history of music videos. And now, adding to the list of artists who have done that whole ‘women in leather, playing instruments” thing, comes R&B goddess Beyonce. And boy does she look like she’s not worried by what people see her wearing anymore.. [...]

The Fratellis’ song Whistle For The Choir bears an uncanny resemblance to the Paul Weller track Push Button, Automatic… The Fratellis – Whistle For The Choir sounds a bit Weller Rock music is built on inspirations, where one band hears something by another and turns it into something new. Sometimes though, that inspiration slips into [...]

Nina Simone’s talent was such that picking a favourite track is an almost impossible task – but Sinnerman might just do it.. A very short post today – a friend just sent me the video you can see below. It’s for the amazing Nina Simone’s Sinnerman. And despite the lack of any obvious visuals, it’s [...]
