My pal recently gave me the first 2 seasons of ' Gavin & Stacey ' to watch, after recommending them very highly. I remember seeing parts of an episode a while ago and thought it was funny but never sat and watched it from start to finish. But now I have, and it's brilliant. Gavin's mum is like my mum. And the Smithy character is awesome. Its a great writing partnership James Corden and Ruth Jones have. I also hear they're remaking an American version. I hope it does well like the [...]

I was watching an episode of Breaking Bad (a brilliant US tv show about a chemistry teacher (Walter White) who finds out he has lung cancer so decides to start making rock with a former pupil of his, starring Hal (the dad) from ' Malcolm In The Middle' ) and this song played at the very end. It was a great moment where Walter got his own back on this arrogant yuppie cunt by shorting his car battery and blowing up his [...]

So Barack Star has reached France! And was getting cheered ! I think the ' Freedom Fries ' debacle has been forgotten. Do you think Sarkozy is attempting the "Terrorist Fist Pump" in this pic? [...]

Thats it! Finally handed in my 2nd mini-project I've been working on. What a relief, think I worked for 72 hours solid at the end there....and it's still a big pile of shite. [...]

One of the smoothest songs I know (yeah thats right, I used 'smooth' to describe a song) is Prince 's 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' from his second album helpfully titled ' Prince '. The cover (above...as if you could miss it!) is fecking glorious. I mean, come on, look at the hair! And the 'stache! He looks infatuated/bored/sex face/crazy eyes all at the same time. Love Prince like. And have been listening to 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' pretty much every time [...]

I made this video about 5 months ago when I was bored. It still holds up! HAHA!! Of Montreal - At Night Trees Aren't Sleeping p.s. I got to see Of Montreal finally last month at Oran Mor in Glasgow and they [...]

I'm well taken aback with the shift in sound of the Horrors new stuff! If the album's as good as the song currently flying around ('Sea Within A Sea') then I'd say its a contender for album of the year. This song is fantastic. Produced by Geoff Barrow from Portishead - and you can tell... this has ' The Rip ' all over it! Think I'll get myself a ticket to their upcoming gig at King Tut's . [...]

Have to say the trailer is really selling this film to me.

Finished at a reasonable time yesterday! Yuss. Also --> New favourite thing! Someone sent me this. Total Scottish humour likesy... LIMMY [...]

I could swear I've just lived the same day twice - except this time I got in at 11.30pm from work! [...]

This is how I feel! Absolutely bloody knackered after a long (yet productive) day at work. MP3: Junior Boys - Work (<--- Click to listen/download)

Prince s Street Gardens Haze For our training for the upcoming 10k charity run round Edinburgh , me and Molly went for a run yesterday around Arthur's Seat and then the Meadows (just for shits) and I have to admit I was pretty knackered afterward.... we even considered choring some Daffodils for our respective mammys on the way back. Didn't in the end - all she got [...]

I 've added a facebook page - so you can now become a fan! YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!! And just cos I'm a good guy - here's an old school summer tune to get you in the mood! Arrested [...]

I'm botally digging Tiga 's new tune Shoes! Tiga - Shoes

I thought I'd use my first wee post to bang on about a proper tune that I've been listening to now pretty much on repeat since I first heard it. If I had to describe it I'd say it sounds what I think a computer shagging another computer and both computers have a massive fuckin' orgasm lasting exactly 5.33 minutess! Seriously... what Boys Noize has done to this [...]
