2manydjs play Kids

On the 9-10s mark, there’s a massive bass woomph which my camera’s mic doesn’t really do justice to. It’s implied by the change in dancing though (my friends James and Pete).

This was 2manydjs set at Rock Werchter, which was very fun (an outdoor disco, really). The chance to go mental in a field to the Soulwax mix of MGMT’s Kids can’t be passed up.

11:01am yesterday: get home from long weekend away and remark to myself how your flat always smells slightly unfamiliar when you’ve not been living in it for a few days

8.33am today: return to bedroom after eating breakfast and note that it smells a little ripe, mentally writing it off as the remnants of post-festival skank.

8.49pm: get in from work and again notice ripe smell but distracted by annoyance at not having time to cook dinner before Torchwood starts.

9.19pm: eat dinner. Mmm lamb chops. Smell good, taste good. Dinner win.

11.44pm: go to bed and finally clock that something must be amiss, because my room hasn’t smelled permanently bad since university, and that was down to poor ventilation, I’m certain. Check under the bed and GUHHHTHERE’SAMASSIVEDEADBIRDSTARINGATME JESUSCHRISTIT’SPRACTICALLYAKESTREL.

Gah. Mikko I love you, but avian sacrifices are not how I’d like this reciprocated.

Poster on the frites van at Rock Werchter.

I like the suggestion that their chips are so good that it would be beneficial for your young child to sit in a massive pile of them, and also that you can tell it’s definitely not photoshopped by the grease stains on his jumper.

Their chips were good, btw.

Don’t Copy That Floppy (pt II)

I don’t remember the original at all, but in the early 90s “anti-piracy hero MC Double Def DP” warned of the dangers of game ripping with a pretty seminal line, “Don’t copy that floppy”. He’s apparently coming back for the digital age, as this trailer shows. It’s run by the SIAA, whose YouTube channel hasn’t really been deluged with traffic, bless them. If this is a truly serious campaign (I’m holding out that it might not be), then their disconnect with reality the yout any consumer is pretty phenomenal.

Over the weekend I saw an email from an artist manager describing how said artist was in tears after tracks from an upcoming album leaked online. I think that if the pirates knew that they made artists CRY, they would feel pretty bad about themselves. Yeah.

Before I went away last week I ordered in a good web design reference book which covers a bunch of the theoretical fundamentals well (typography, colour etc).

I got back today to find that the chapter on the grid system has already been put to good use. Nice work team.

This fence looked good already. Am excited about the full release.

Fruit from trees in my garden. I understand the one on the right is some kind of stunted apple, but have no idea what the thing on the left is.
