Robert Miles - Children

In most places in Europe this next track made number 1 or, at least, in the top 5 yet peaked at 21 in the US. I'd like to make an interesting and stimulating point about that but I honestly can't think of one. Something about the US rave scene lag...

An Ushanka, yesterday Alright - Supergrass

You know, I almost forgot today was monday. Again. I was convinced that for part of this video Gaz wore an Ushanka which would have neatly segued into mentioning Friday night's work related tomfoolery but that story's kind of redundant now whi...

Criminal - Fiona Apple

I actually forgot that yesterday was Monday. I can't decide if that's tragic or not. sigh I have a soft spot for Mark Romanek videos - especially the sublime "Hurt" for Johnny Cash, "99 Problems" for Jay-Z (although for the last I couldn't really...

Richard D James Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy Aphex Twin - Windowlicker

Once, in art class at school, I tried to bluff past my suckiness at the aesthetic by claiming I was creating modern, abstract peices whereby my teacher primly told me that you have to be good before you can break the rules. I think I probably resp...

Luscious Jackson - Naked Eye Jill Cunniff - "Naked Eye" Luscious Jackson Gap advertisement

For some reason which completely baffles me I had Luscious Jackson's "Naked Eye" stuck in my head all yesterday. ALL of yesterday. But not all of the song. Just the hook. Over and over and over and over again. No idea where it came from or why it...

Penny Arcade - Kane and Lynch

So the Interwebs have been all a twitter (literally I suppose) about the Infocom archive. A million others will comment on it but I have a larger point to make. The complete nerd in me is all squeefull. Stuff like this is interesting and deserves...

Clubbed To Death - Rob Dougan

It's a shame when good songs get over used. Moby's "Play" has the dubious distinction of being the first album that had every single one of its tracks licensed for an advert, movie or tv show. Hell, even Track 1 of the B-Sides album was used in th...
