Bmore



I love Bmore remixes, you can really turn any track into a glitchy ghetto club fix up. I always end up dropping at least one in a DJ set, they're best used alongside originals as an alternative way of changing tempos. If you don't use the original and it's someone-in-the-audience's favourite track, they'll start crying and say you ruined it. Actually, they'll do that either way.

Anyway, here's my ten top tracks in the Baltimore club style.

Smells Like Teen Spirit - DJ Sega
Mr Postman - DJ Technics
Western Jam - Tomb Crew
Who Is It? - Tomb Crew
Reach Out - Emynd
Positif (DJ Manaia Re-edit) - Mr Oizo
Kalemba (DJ Manaia Remix) - Buraka Som Sistema
Ring My Bell (Solly Bmore Bell Remix) - Anita Ward
Wassup Wassup ft Rye Rye (Bart Bmore Remix) - Diplo
A Milli (Scottie B Remix) - Lil Wayne

Download all and unzip.

Chair TV

Check out this VJ collective based in Manchester. They do quite a bit of stuff for the Warehouse Project, providing visuals for DJs such as Erol Alkan, Digitalism, Justice and Metro Area. Great job. I envy them.

Tim Key

I love this guy. Star of BBC4 sketch show Cowards, oddball gameshow We Need Answers and guest on Charlie Brooker's Newswipe, Tim Key has really caught my attention over the last year or so.

If you haven't seen these before, check out these offbeat/terrible/hilarious poems he does as skits.

Here's my favourite:



Fingers crossed he'll be at Edinburgh this year.

Worldwide Readers

Since I put a worldwide tracker on my blog, I've been pleasantly surprised at how far the readers are spread across the world. It's clear my blog is more relevant to those in the UK, but it's also clocked views in such countries as Ghana, Thailand, Chile, New Zealand and Romania, to mention a few.

Who are you?!

I will always really appreciate comments, so if you read this let me know how you ended up on this page!

John Lewis Advert

You may have seen this recently released advert for John Lewis. It cost £6million to make.

I couldn't resist spoofing it...

Watch it til the end.



They nicked the idea off an Italian lingerie ad anyway.

Feelin' Fabio



"World Cup fever has swept through the Pieminister kitchens this month, inspiring our pie chefs to reach new heights of culinary creativeness."



"The new pie, Feelin’ Fabio, pays homage to our England manager: packed full of the best of British beef and a good portion of Italian sausage, it’ll fill up footie fans across the nation."



"We’ve also created ‘the Rooney Roll’. Celebrating our biggest asset on the field, this new sausage roll combines prime cuts of outdoor reared pork with chilli - for a really good kick!

You’ll be able to find these in pubs, bars, delis and our own pie shops from the beginning of May and throughout the World Cup."

Advanced Hair Studio

Saw this hilarious infomercial on TV the other day. The whole thing.



I still don't know if it's for real.
