Errol Morris and Miller Light

These ads are great.

They make me want a bottle of beer, some good food and some manual work to do.

I think he's done some other good stuff too...

I'm Tired

Anita Thompson over at the Owl Farm Blog posted this quote today and thought I'd repeat it here.

"I’ve never paid much attention to the Black/Jew/WASP problem; it strikes me as a waste of time and energy.

My prejudice is pretty general, far too broad and sweeping for any racial limitations. It’s clear to me – and has been since the age of 10 or so – that most people are bastards, thieves and yes – even pigfuckers”

Live From London

An exciting announcement from EMI and Apple or a load of rubbish? In real-ish time, here we go...

Or just listen to the live feed here, I guess.

Eric Nicoli, CEO EMI Group:

He's made a joke

It's not an April Fool joke

There's going to be some music

Damon Albarn and crew - oh, and they're not webcasting that. Brilliant.

Oh, yes they are. Very nice.

The man from EMI said Damon thinks this announcement is '....... brilliant'.

The bloody AA man has just arrived - so er, this is getting cut short (not the announcement, just this 'commentary'.

Er, they're going to get rid of DRM I reckon.

That's it.

Thanks for calling by...

Let It Be?

Get ready for Beatle-mania:

An EMI 'event' in London tomorrow with Steve Jobs as special guest.

No DRM on EMI downloads and chart madness to ensue very shortly...

Much Too Much

Today I have, by any reasonable standards, very little to do and even less to achieve.

Thus far I've listened to Desert Island Discs, not done the first little thing I should have done and eaten two bags of Maltesers with a cup of tea.

And written this.

I'm now telling myself that after the BREAKING NEWS from Iran I'll have a shower and get off my arse.

I'm banking on using the 11.30 - 3.00 'kid's locked in school' window to get out, do the one 'outside' thing and get the fuck back. The rest can be done from here.

Amusingly, I've just been emailed by a 62 year old who'd like to go to Machu Picchu.

I can hardly get out the front door.

I'll keep you posted...

C.S.iPhone Mon Ami!

Ok, so holy-fuckin' shit this is awesome dude. Seriously awesome.

(NB. You've got to let the stupid ad play and then click on 'Remapping The Universe' on the right...)

Mr Pogue at the New York Times hints that this guy is going to be involved with future iPhone-tastic multi-touch Apple craziness.

I am well-psyched.

Yes. Indeed I am.

Well done everyone.

Half A Century High

'Shoot Out The Lights' by Richard & Linda Thompson was released 25 years ago.

It's nothing short of a masterpiece and I urge you to order it forthwith.

Here's the link to Scabazon (a union-busting bargain at £5.97). Or why not borrow it from a friend...

That is all.
