Ducking and Weaving →
A great interview with Dizzee Rascal. Whatever you think of his music (I’m not a massive fan) he certainly has his head in the right place.

International Apple Store Codes - IASCO →
Nerdiest thing I’ve seen in a while. And I’ve seen some pretty fucking nerdy things in my time, I can tell you. In other news, this bastard flu still has a firm grasp on my immune system. Updates might be sporadic while I spend a few days shivering, coughing up worrying quantities of phlegm and shouting at noises that aren’t there.

Silent Hill 2 →
Lastly for today, the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack. I think the game passed a lot of people by when it was released in 2002ish, which is a crying shame as it’s one of the most emotionally engaging games I can think of. The gameplay doesn’t hold up much now, but the storyline and atmosphere have honestly never been matched. I should also mention the sheer amount of love and attention that...

As an addendum: if your t-shirt has that damn binary “joke” or some sort of incredibly fucking obscure reference to an animé or NES game then you are beyond help. Ride the next bullet train out of town.

Official Internet Rule #20673
In any given forum thread / comments section / chat, if somebody says “this is the best thread / comments section / chat ever” it instantly becomes one of the worst. Even worse than furries or nugget porn.

Bullshit covers:
One of the many many many things that really annoys me is when bands feel the need to nearly ruin albums by putting bullshit covers on the end. A few of my “favourites”: Solitude Aeturnus – Adagio (Heaven & Hell, Black Sabbath) It’s a great cover of an amazing track. It just doesn’t need to be here. Demons & Wizards – Touched By The Crimson King (Immigrant...
