Lovely bit of motion graphics work. I’m also really enjoying the teeny mini album, cubicroom, that some of the music is taken from.

Genius.

Like a shape-shifting, giant amoeba (should such a creature exist, outside of movies like The Blob) dance music finds endless ways to adapt itself and is, consequently, indestructible.

Yes yes.

Apparently, because of the phrase ‘boy band’, boys now think that a boy singing should sound like an adult male singing. Apparently.

I, on the other hand, really don’t think the reluctance of most boys to join choirs is down to some “OMG I’m a boy, but when I open my mouth I do not make a sound like Ronan Keating” confusion.

Fifty whole British pounds?! That’ll teach him.

It’s not uncommon for people to get quite excited about the festival, but I thought this post on the BBC message board was just wonderful.

O Happy day! My Friends, this will be my first visit to the proms. I am a great fan of the classics and I shall most certainly be amongst that merry throng who, bedecked with the regalia of pomp, behatted, scarved, drunk on that heady spirit, clap at every break and pause.

What glory to share in common the joy of happy light classics!

Here at last all of Britain is united in Hope. All past cares left behind, even the unfortunate masses, gathered around their DAB radios, drowsy amongst their consumer durables, can for fleeting hours forget the misery of class oppression.

I shall be there!
Mr. Laurent Mpeti Kabila
