Following on from my previous post, Cee-Lo Green has now released the official video for the soon-to-be-smash-hit-everywhere-except-on-SA-radio-stations, “Fuck you”.
Cee-Lo Green – F**ck You
Cheers Winter. Fuck You. Hello Summer!! To celebrate the end of the second last monday of winter, here’s a funky tune from Cee-Lo Green.
Angry Eminem is Good Eminem
Gotta admit I haven’t listened to Eminem in a long long time, but I got turned on to “I Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna” off the new album, Recovery, and wow! the passion is back in full swing. I just can’t get enough of this track.
With 50 million views on Youtube in just over two weeks, it’s definitely a hot track.
And after listening to that track, do yourself a favour and (apologies in advance) go listen to James Blunt’s – You’re Beautiful. Pay particular attention to the guitar riff, from about 00:27 onwards. Hmmm, yes, Eminem, I see what you did there! Cowboy Chords!
Arcade Fire Reinvents Digital Content with The Suburbs
With any purchase of Arcade Fire’s new album “The Suburbs” from arcadefire.com, you also now get a digital version of the album (.m4a files) with visuals related to each song, lyrics & contextual hyperlinks.
See this video for what I’m talking about:
Arcade Fire The Suburbs Synchronized Artwork Version from ian rogers on Vimeo.
Pretty cool, huh? Why more bands don’t do this I’ll never know. Then again, it is typical for Arcade Fire to lead the pack.
Grinderman – Heathen Child
True to Nick Cave’s absurd brilliance, the new Grinderman album, Grinderman 2 boasts this crazy track – Heathen Child – with an even cooler music video.
Nokia N97: The Truth
Being in the middle of a big, still largely unresolved, fight with Nokia over the expensive piece of crap that is an N97, I just wish I’d seen this video before I ever even thought of getting an N97.
The real tragedy is that Nokia have pretty much lost one of their biggest fan-boys at a time when they really cannot afford to.

Old Spice Guy Voicemail Generator

If you have not yet seen the awesome “Look at your man” Old Spice advertising campaign, you’re certainly missing out. This has got to be some of the most appealing advertising I’ve ever seen. And that’s definitely not because it features a half-naked man. Each video just has the right dosage of humour and “wow” to snag your full attention. Some bloggers even managed to get the personal treatment from Old Spice, which shows Old Spice have their head in exactly the right place.
But it gets better, through some editing from the video below you can now get your own custom Old Spice Guy voicemail at http://oldspicevoicemail.com. There’s a version for the guys too, which means this might actually tempt me into actually activating my voicemail.
Prima Donna Soccer
So you’ve manged to score an overpriced ticket for the game. You’ve found your way to the stadium, bought your ridiculously overpriced beer and found your seat far back at the top of the stands. The game begins, and within minutes, even from a point as far away from him as you can possibly get, you see a guy who is paid more than you’ll ever earn in your entire life plainly and deliberately acting up a foul instead of just playing soccer? That’s not cool. Ever.
I say harden the fuck up, pussy boys. TIA, Africa is not for sissies. It’s time to remove the mistaken decisions, introduce some TV-refereeing and penalize those players who try to cheat.
If a team filled with prima donnas get through to the final I will be well upset.

Google’s World Cup Tidbits
Apart from the old Street View being launched in SA, Google has also introduced a few other treats in anticipation of the soccer World Cup.
For instance, if you search for “World Cup” on Google, you get a summary schedule of upcoming matches, as well as a list of teams and pools. If you then scroll further down the page, you’ll see this beauty:

Nice one, Google.
Oh, and Bafana supporters, don’t forget to tweet with tag #WhenBafanaWins to get onto the When Bafana Wins microsite.
