Although Frank was bemused by the previous Pac-Man post, rumour has it he was type cast in this video after playing a similar part in a show that toured the country last year. The band are called “The Go! Team”. What were they like to work with Frank ?

This is from back in the day when “Real People” actually looked like real people. Is it just me or are we becoming more plastic looking as the gene pool evolves ? Anyway enjoy this, it put a smile on my face and restored my faith in humanity for another day.

Spotted this interview with a couple of the Sultans Of Ping on Blogorrah and, out of curiousity, I had to see if there was any of their stuff on Youtube. There was. This one, recorded live at the Mean Fiddler, was a tribute to Nigel Clough and is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Thanks to Smashing Telly, a hand edited collection of the best free TV on the web and a site I’ll no doubt rob from with alarming frequency. The original Google video post of the clip is here.

Found through BoingBoing but with kudos to Eirikso. Amie Street is a cross between a digital music store and social networking site. With a view to encouraging the discovery of new music, all tracks start out free and only go up in price as they become more popular. On top of that, fans are rewarded if songs they recommend become popular. The artists themselves make 70% of song sales and never lose ownership of their work. Just as the icing on the cake too, all the music is in DRM-free MP3 and can be played on any portable player. It’s what you might call a pretty fucking clever idea.
