HOLY FUCK A GHOST

March 30th, 2009 · 6 Comments

This is the music video for No-one Does It Like You, by Department of Eagles. I post if for several reasons, but mainly because the singing ghost rocks my socks. Make sure you stay tuned for…. OH GOD! A SINGING GHOST!
…See? Hours of fun.
Also, this morning on Nerds of a Feather, listen in to find [...]

The Ying Yang Twins Are Classy

March 30th, 2009 · 3 Comments

I cannot work out for the life of me whether this video is more notable for illustrating:
1. The moment when hip-hop ate itself;
2. The moment when MTV ate itself; or
3. The moment when MTV ate hip-hop who was busy eating MTV and then they simply defecated each other out and began the whole process again. [...]

Me and Viggo, sitting in a tree.

March 27th, 2009 · 17 Comments

Last night, I hosted a Q&A/interview with Viggo Mortensen at Cinema Nova in Melbourne. The whole thing went down a treat; Viggo was charming as hell, remarkably intelligent and at no point did he suspect I was trying to drug and have my way with him.
Stay tuned for more photos!

As promised yesterday on Nerds of a Feather, here are some of the new screencaps from the upcoming Spike Jonze film, Where The Wild Things Are. And despite the fact that this film has taken so long to get on the ground that I could have sliced off my head, fried it in garlic, grown [...]

Super Smashing Pumpkins Bros

March 24th, 2009 · 8 Comments

While I’m normally an uncritical devotee of all the many cultural permutations being thrown up by the internet, I have to ask: who loves The Smashing Pumpkins and the 8-bit Super Mario trilogy with such identical, passionate intensity that they feel the only way to adequately express their adoration is by creating a set of [...]

Fake money and comically vast lunchladies.

March 23rd, 2009 · 5 Comments

Diablo2003, over at Deviantart, has created this Darth Vader money. It reminds me of the time I was six and tried to use monopoly money to purchase chocolate frogs from the school canteen. The lunch lady, a kindly woman (who, if my garbled childhood memories can be relied upon, which I like to think they [...]

WAR! medals.

March 18th, 2009 · 2 Comments

As pointed out by a faithful reader, gaming war medals are now available for purchase online. We recieved pantloads of queries about these bad boys, probably because on Nerds of a Feather yesterday the medals were discussed, and shortly afterwards, the idea of wearing one in the Anzac Day march was floated. The medals are [...]
