Cadbury’s Dairy Milk: Gorilla

Woah Lord! Debuting on UK TV tonight, a new spot for Cadbury’s Dairy Milk looks set to lodge a certain Phil Collins “classic” well and truly into the collective short-term memory. Seriously, anyone who happens to be watching Big Brother this evening and clocks this fantastic minute-and-a-half spot from Fallon will be unconsciously pumping their fists and going “Woah Lord” til the early hours....

Tony Hart t-shirt from Tate

Not everyone will have heard of Tony Hart, but those that do will undoubtedly remember him fondly for his children’s TV programmes in the ’80s. Lovely ethical company Howies have made a t-shirt for the Tate with Tony’s name emblazoned across the chest for the princely sum of £25. I’m a little disappointed there’s no chalk-rendered night time cityscape that Tony is...

Vatican airlines passengers must dump holy water

The Vatican launched its chartered air service for pilgrims headed to Lourdes this week, but travelers on the way back had to dump their precious bottles of holy water. The headrests may be emblazoned with the Latin words for “I search for your face, oh Lord,” but even those on a mission for God can’t carry more than 100ml of liquid, holy or not, onto the plane. From The...

Stuart Murdoch wants you

Belle and Sebastain are getting into musical theatre. Or, rather, they’re making a film musical. The plan is to write a few new songs, but the storyline will be punctuated by Belle & Sebby’s back catalogue. You know, like Queen’s We Will Rock You. Only without Ben Elton’s involvement, as far as we can tell. Stuart Murdoch fills in some of the storyline: Stuart said:...

KLF: Burn a Million Quid (video) and The Manual...

BB pal Michael W. Dean recently reminded us of the work of K Foundation, the UK anarcho-prankster duo who set about to become ginormous pop stars in the 1980s, and did just that as The KLF. In 1988, members Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty self-published a book (“The Manual”) with step-by-step instructions on how anyone might do exactly the same: PDF Link to a copy of “The...

All of Factory Records releases (both music and video) were given unique catalogue numbers in the form of FAC followed by a number.

TV matters: self-censorship at the BBC

Which is the lesser of two evils - censorship by executives, or self-censorship by writers? And why is sexism OK, and racism not? (via bounder’s shared items in Google Reader)

Douche Bag — Our first official Wordpress plugin... →

Most people are nice in person. For some reason, when they have a monitor hiding their face, a few of them act like douchebags. We love the community here and are glad that we don’t have any of these DBs. But when you go popular on certain social bookmarking sites, they seem to arise. So we created a tool just for those rare instances. It’s a simple and straight forward plugin for Wordpress,...

Been meaning to post this for a while -a week or two back The Guardian Guide pointed us to this, which documents the weirdest stuff Homer Simpson has ever eaten. Which sadly omits the floor pie. (via bounder’s shared items in Google Reader)

BBC comics documentary: Comics Britannia

Forbidden Planet’s Joe Gordon sez, “A number of us in the British comics community have been excitedly awaiting Comics Britannia, three one-hour shows on BBC4 due this September which are going to explore the history and culture of British comics, from the kids comics of the 30s through to today. Andy Hall from the BBC just sent me this link to a website the Beeb has put up to...

Record-breaking Dalek gathering in Manchester

Cory Doctorow: Tony sez, “I work a MoSI, the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester and earlier today we had a Dalek invasion! The aim was to set the record for the most Daleks in one place and it was even attended by Raymond Cusick. The rule was that a person had to be inside each Dalek, hit the link for replicas, one from an old episode and many awesome costumes - including a...

Stand Me Up; Turn Me On

In last year’s Candlelight Competition, lighting company Mathmos, in collaboration with 100% East and Metropolitan Works, invited designers to create ideas for a Mathmos product on the theme of candlelight. Winner Richard Lawson’s idea has now gone into production as the 9 Volts Lamp. The lamp mirrors the form of its power source, a standard 9 volt battery, which it simply clips on to. Stand...

Filed under: Cellphones, Features It’s high noon, Apple and AT&T — we really hate to break it to you, but the jig is up. Last night the impossible was made possible: right in front of our very eyes we witnessed a full SIM unlock of our iPhone with a small piece of software. It’s all over, guys.

Classic Clip: The Damned - New Rose

I feel sorry for The Damned - hitting their high point with their first single, there’s just nowhere to go after releasing something so gloriously trashy like New Rose. Thunderous opening, great riff, catchy chorus and an ending before the three-minute mark. All the ingredients for the perfect song. Shame they ended up as a comedy goth act really.

Todd Haynes new faux Dylan bio-pic I’m Not There

Todd Haynes new faux Dylan bio-pic I’m Not There looks pretty interesting using six actors (including Cate Blanchett!) to play Dylan through the ages and telling stories that are as much based on myth as fact.

A number of co-conspirators have mentioned that the moment the stadium big screens showed* Brown and Merkel at the match last night, there was a rare example of spontaneous Anglo-German unity.

All hail Bill Murray!

I know some people really don’t like ol’ Bill but I worship the ground he walks on. Lost in Translation, Groundhog day, Kingpin, Broken Flowers, SNL, Rushmore…total genius. We’ll forget about Garfield. So I had to laugh - but shouldn’t - at the news that he’s been arrested in Stockholm for driving a stolen golf cart while suspected of being drunk. God bless...

David Shrigley’s Hallam Foe film titles

The titles to forthcoming feature film Hallam Foe have been directed by artist David Shrigley through Slinky Pictures. Briefly charting the life of a newly-hatched wee birdie, the sequence is typically Shriglean: funny, dark and fantastically charming. The film (starring Jamie Bell as a strange voyeur-type who leaps around on the rooftops of Edinburgh) hits the cinemas here in the UK on 31 August...
