What a week and weekend. Most of all the Armageddon Expo decimated my bank account and I’ve got a lot of things bookmarked that I’ve neglected to post…

Dave McKean is making an animated adaptation of his own comic Cages. This is gonna be sweet and it’s one of my all time favourite comics for multiple reasons. [full article]

Some Hot Fuzz slash fiction from the actual creators of Hot Fuzz. [website]

Mild America is a Wellington band that Michelle Savill, director of Betty Banned Sweets is a part of. There’s some tracks available at their website here and definitely worth listening to.

Some of the images are pretty rough but make for essential viewing into the fallout of the international drug trade following a UN report after 100 years of drug control. Recommended checking out here.

New official video from Jack White’s new super group and still probably one of my favourite albums of the year…

Almost forgot to post these, seems my friends have been popping out some lil’ musical numbers and they’re available for your downloading/listening pleasure…

Sairalei’s Birds of Passage EP.

And Mask of Demetrius’ Brown Gold album (along with a few others).

Enjoy.

New track off the Massive attack EP coming next month. Finally.

Rejoice! As Depressing Comic Week returns to Cyanide and Happiness. {previous weeks here and here).

Laugh! As a man locked out of his house is forced to break back in while dressed up with a sword and ammo belt for a fancy dressed party get the armed offenders squad called out on him. [article]

Amaze! As you read the background of current music obsession, the rapper known as Cage (Chris Palko). Either through his wiki page, this feature article or this interview.

Enjoy! The website of the awesomeness that is Beck. The man has been posting some brilliant stuff, ranging from videos to interviews and all should see. [beck.com]

Still the strong obsession of the week, this is Dream Girl from The Lonely Island’s Incredibad album. Quite possibly my favourite and features the hot talented awesomeness that is Norah Jones.

From their debut album incredibad, The Lonely Island has Jack Black special guest on this track and while I’ve got a lot of love for the both of them respectively, the two together is just the best combo ever. Check it out.

Christ it’s easy to slack off on posting blogs sometimes… So what’s happened since the last time?

Went to The Kills concert which was awesome. They were, the venue was total crap and packed full of ‘hip indie’ kids which annoyed me to no end and the place was too small for the size of the crowd, but The Kills themselves were fantastic and thanks to some inside sources, we got to go to the gigs after party. Also got to exchange a hello with Jamie and snap a picture with Alison Mosshart who’s nothing but retardedly hot both on and off stage. But apart from that, was too much of a chicken shit pussy to talk to them in depth or anything.

Settled into new flat and it hasn’t been as insane as previously… hoped for or hoped against? I’m not quite sure at this point. But its good, but I’ll still be looking for work in Auckland, which at this point I should really gear up a notch or two on doing.

Had several setbacks last week, most prominently my current phone which has come to be my favourite phone of all the phones I’ve owned so far, started gargling death rattles and has pretty much up and died on me. New phone has been ordered and hopefully will arrive by the end of the week. Great timing on that one as I’ve actually got a need to establish quite a few contacts and phone calls with it.

And in the other more blog worthy news is that registrations for the 48 Hours Filmmaking competition opened last week and since then I’ve been asked on a daily basis if I’m entering again this year and the answer is yes. I’ll be entering in the Hamilton regions one final time, at least in a competitive level with the intention of winning. Of course, that’s not my main intention, but that’ll be a drive for doing it this year. If I enter in further years, in the Hamilton section at least, I’ll be doing it just for pure, retarded, fun reasons (ie filming myself naked for seven minutes singing the theme songs to 70s TV programs while churning a barrel of butter)… actually, screw it, that’s a great idea and it’s going on the ideas pile for this year.

Less than two weeks till The Kills NZ tour and I’m looking very forward to it. It’s surprising how popular they’ve become really. Anyway, Jack White just announced a new band called The Dead Weather and The Kills’ Alison Mosshart fronting and that’s awesome.

Here’s their first video for their song Hang You From The Heavens…

Best Nirvana cover ever.
