It’s been a little while since we gave our friends over at Iloverubbish.com some props, but props they deserve frequently and by the bucketload.

This time it’s for pointing us in the direction of this; Pac-manhattan. The premise is a real-life version of Pac-man…people running the streets of NYC trying to avoid ghosts and collect those tasty dots… all tracked via the internet and broadcast…win. This dates all the way back to 2004, surely time for Pac-man: London to be rolled out..who’s interested?!

You can buy these coasters at Geekalerts.com

Time to decommission the Royal Family

Not wanting to be out-done by Prince Harry’s racial slurs, yesterday Prince Phillip dropped, what is known is political circles, as a bollock during his meeting with Obama. If you haven’t seen it, watch the video below and make sure you have a cushion ready for when your jaw drops to the floor. Surely this adds to the increasing portfolio of evidence that highlight the gulf between the Royals and modern values and views. This is the president of the United States for fuck sake, what are we doing introducing him to this cretin?

Well that just about sums it up.

A New Hope

Today is a historic day. The most anticipated presidential inauguration across the pond since the Kennedy era is upon us, and the whole world seems to be looking to the new hope to stand up to the current dark and lead us back into the light. But what’s the soundtrack gonna be like?

So we all have less money now than ever before, we’re all about to lose our incomes and homes – but with new hope comes new motivation, vigour and passion. Yeh this drivel sounds like an outdated 80’s Reagan campaign, but indie floor-filling music from the USA has been desperately thin on the ground and needs a rallying call. Forget MGMT. Hail a new beginning, change is here, embrace it.

Already coming up strong, Passion Pit are creating big waves and will be hitting our shores very soon. In store gig at Pure Groove is slated for February 19th and once you get infected with the beats and arrangements of “Sleepyhead” you’re sure to be hooked.

Some thing must be in the Massachusetts air. Giantess offer 80s electro synth perfection. “Tuff’n'Stuff” makes me want to break out the Reebok Pumps and Nike Air Force oversized hoodie, for the second time this week. It’s just the ticket for uplifting post recession 1992 Hooks aplenty in “You Were Young”.

Pink Stallone bring minimalist synth derived electro to the dance. “Swiss Ambulance” will make you crave simplicity while you cut your best robot on the rug.

A word about rap. Theophilus London is the future. Bitches don’t know what this guy is gonna do to the scene, Kanye best be watching his back – this guy has legend flowing through his lyrical DNA. Sandcastles is a taster, with Machinedrum of Normrex lending the production skills to this tweaked mix. Simply blowing me away right now.

A final word. Everyone get amongst Neon Gold. The guys that put together the legendary Good Weather For Airstrikes set up their own label in Autumnal 2008 and it looks like it’s going from strength to strength. Much inspiration was garnered from their blog for this post. Here’s hoping it strengthens the so called “special relationship”.
