Brilliant cinemography // song
70's funk bliss at its best. one of the coolest music video's i've seen! look out for the wolf man. he's great.
Scanwiches
Scanwiches is the brain child of Jon Chonko, a New York designer with a good taste in sandwiches. Its quite simple, Chonko goes to his favourite delis' and eateries around the city, buys a beautiful // tasty looking sandwich, then scans it onto his computer, and later eats it. He also makes home made ones too. The site will put any sandwich makers skills to shame and will drive you to be more creative in the field.
The picture above shows the 'Homemade Dagwood' which although looks impossible to eat, looks very tasty indeed. Thank you Jon Chonko.
Rocko's Modern Life was a cartoon i used to watch frequently when i was younger, i came across it recently and had completely forgotten how great the show was, the perfect balance between entertaining children and adults alike, with crude humour and just plain silliness. Kind of like a play off of Seinfeld but in cartoon form, with most of the episodes revolving around nothing at all, and modern day problems.

McCoy's Crisps
McCoy's crisps are the best crisps in the world. Walker's pale by comparison, Pringles seem weak and pathetic, even Dorito's can't match that thick, satisfying crunch of a McCoy's. Perhaps this is what inspired their shitty and shameful marketing campaign of 'Man Crisps', which if you ask me is ridiculous. The McCoy's website is, quite frankly, an embarrassment. I was not allowed to enter until answering the question: 'Why was David Beckham sent off in the 1998 world cup?' Who gives a fuck. Show me the crisps.
Upon guessing the correct answer to this completely irrelevant question, i was granted entry into the lad's HQ (a pub), and greeted by a barmaid who was indeed a sight for sore eyes. The website invited me to put on my 'beer goggles' and she miraculously became a hot babe. Charming... Check out www.mccoys.co.uk for an abundance of other bloke treats.
So McCoy's target market is blindingly obvious, and it's pretty clear that as a 20 year old girl, I am not deemed worthy.
Regardless, i have spent the last few months of my life on a taste voyage of discovery. No distance was too far and no price was too high in my mission to experience every last obscure flavour of this superior crisp species. Its been a vast journey and it has finally come to end, as i have tried them all, including the terrible 'pub grub' flavours.
After much careful consideration, my TOP THREE MCCOY'S FLAVOURS are:
- Flame Grilled Steak.
- Sizzling King Prawn.
- Salt and Malt Vinegar.
Animal Collectives best music video in my opinion.

60s and 70s cartoons
Found this the other day and really reminded me of how strange cartoons used to be in the 60s and 70s (considering i saw the re runs as a kid). This is an early episode of Sesame Street where they are attempting to teach the alphabet, its almost like their brain washing the kids. Quite cool non-the-less.
Atom Ant is a hard as nails ant who happens to be a superhero at the same time. This was one of my favourite cartoons of the 70s, mostly just because of how much of a badass motherfucker Atom Ant is. This episode sees him fighting off his worst/evil-est enemies; the 'ant hill mob' who steal food from innocent peoples picnics (cheeky bastards). Needless to say, he saves the day and kicks some ass.
Squiddly Diddly is another 70s cartoon, this time based around a sly boots octopus who can speak (sounding a lot or identically like Roger Rabbit) and is always up to no good. This particular episode sees Squiddly abducted by aliens! who knows how he's going to get himself out of this one...
The old Scooby Doo episodes were rad as fuck. This one sees the villain Mamba Wamba causing a ruckus.! enjoy.
