Unholy Noise and Ungodly Racket
As mentioned by those tireless miners of Youtube, Video Thunder, Synth Britannia is the story of people who were "lazy" according to Phil Okey and lived in places which were (because they nearly all say it) "like no mans land/a deserted city/an industrial waste land". Well nearly all, Depeche Mode just say they where from Basildon.

KANYE WEST TURNS UP VOLUME ON KEYBOARD!
"WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, REMEMBER THE FEARLESS, REMEMBER THE DREAMERS, REMEMBER THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE GHETTO...THE FAIRY TALE OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING. I'M BRIEFLY SADDENED BY NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED, INCAPABLE OR JUST PLAIN IDIOTS. WE ARE THE FUCKING ROCK STARS BABY. NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE MY NIGGAS!! NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE! IT'S FUNNY TO ME WHEN FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH SHIT ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON'T LIVE FASHION. WE LIVE IT MAN. FUCK THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! THE CHILD IN US ALL, THE BRUTAL HONESTY, THE NAIVETY, THE BRAVE WARRIOR, THE ADRENALINE THAT ALLOWS A MOTHER TO LIFT A CAR IF HER CHILD WAS TRAPPED UNDER IT! REMEMBER, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY DISSED MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY CHANCE THEY COULD. IMAGINE THE PRESSURE OF BEING A TRUE ICON. VERY FEW HUMAN BEINGS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CONSTANT HATE!!! IF WE DON'T DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS THE SHIT, YOU BEAT US UP VERBALLY AND MENTALLY, LIKE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHER BEATING A CREATIVE STUDENT INTO SUBMISSION. I CAN HEAR YOU SCREAMING 'COLOR INSIDE THE LINES!!!' WELL FUCK YOUR COLORING BOOK, COLOR BY NUMBERS APPROACH TO LIFE. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO ARE WE HURTING??? OH "THE NEW BLACK???" SINCE BARACK IS PRESIDENT BLACKS DON'T LIKE FUR COATS, RED LEATHER, AND FRIED CHICKEN ANY MORE?! WHEN YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND CULTURAL SETTINGS, BOUNDARIES, AND OUR MODERN DAY CASTE SYSTEMS, THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE GLORY AND PAIN FROM THE DAYS OF KINGS IN AFRICA TO THE NEW KINGS OF THE MEDIA. LET THE BALL PLAYERS DANCE AFTER THEY SCORE! IT'S LIFE MY NIGGAS, IT'S LIFE! REMEMBER CLOTHING IS A CHOICE. WE WERE BORN NAKED!!! FRESH IS AN OPINION, LOVE IS OBJECTIVE, TASTE IS SELECTIVE, AND EXPRESSION IS MY FAVORITE ELECTIVE. NO MORE POLITICS OR APOLOGIES!!!"

January Jones
A debate which hasn't been raging in our household, because we seemed to agree on this point, is that January Jones - while by no stretch of the imagination being a bad actress - is the "worst" thing in Mad Men.
The bloke who got his foot lawn mowed off has actually had a better plot line.*
*My solo contention.
Caribou - Odessa
A new Caribou track, Odessa, is available from http://www.caribou.fm/.
Not sure if I am completely sold on it yet, Erland vocals on anything are beginning to grate but I remain optimistic that the new album will be fantastic.

Saturday The 14th
I went to a play group during the summer holidays.
My family isn't/wasn't/never will be rich so a nanny wasn't on hand to bring us Dr. Pepper and Ruffles. It was/is called Three Acres and was run by various 80's Camden, loony left freaks; a bloke called Alan who had short black hair, a tash and wore army fatigues. Alan feels very much like someone who shot an Argy at Goosegreen and NEVER got over it. He was great at mending punctures though. Arthur, who would pull out his false front teeth and scare the kids, and an assorted jamboree of lefty, hairy arm pitted, vest wearing, whale watching/tuna boycotting/free Nelson Mandela types.
Both men and women.
It was like a Guardianista enclave given the mission of caring for various Chalk Farm and Camden strays to try and stop them getting into playing penny up, glue sniffing and Daily Mail reading.
That's all we had back then comrades.
Of course there was plenty of room to run around, joust using bikes, pile up crash mats and leap from great heights and more "I'll get my dad/cousin/brother/step-dad/mum/carer/probation officer down here to beat you up" threats then you could shake a stick at (non-violently of course).
And I only seem to remember there only ever being three videos to watch: Grease, Stand By Me and Saturday the 14th. I don't remember much about it but a man gets his arm ripped off by a gorilla. BUY IT TODAY!

Stuff I want... PT.8 1/2
In a move that may see me relinquish my ardent hetrosexuality, I have to confess very much liking these lamp shades... Like a massive bender.
Still, like them I do and I can hold my head high.
