Remember ‘Pardon Me?’. Of course you do. Well there’s been a few pretenders to the Pardon Me crown, but surely this piece of brain mashery from Desire Dubounet has to be in with a shout. Where do I even begin…?

Confused? Well, here’s Desire’s incredible website. That should clear things up a little.

PS – You may remember DD from this bit of light-hearted banter.

The brilliant Alice Lowe – yes, she of the mighty Garth Marenghi – and equally brill director, Jaqueline Wright, made this spoof internet show, starring Alice as Wendy Beardman, and myself as Baal. Hope you all ha ha (i.e you like)….

You can watch lots more of Alice and Jaqui’s films right here.

Never…

My favourite bit? Probably the little cough at the end.

Thanks for ‘unmasking’ (!!!!!) this, Adam.

There are just too many good bits to this: never knowing what weapon he’ll use next, the bit when he suddenly appears from under the water, and of course anything with that snake. And what is he doing at 02:00? Is he having a ‘sit-down wee’?

Thanks Lee!

Last night the amazing Kevin Eldon sang Machadaynu live in Edinburgh with the mighty Franz Ferdinand. And here’s photographic proof.

In the meantime, here’s the mighty Kevin again in our Look Around You thang:

Hope you enjoy this new guitar piece I wrote and recorded with all the windows open…

Thanks to Beth.

Regular visitors to this internet rag will know that I have been writing and recording music with the brilliant Justin Spooner. We’ve been working on this track – Gold String – for a while, and we think we’ve cracked it. Plug in your headphones, click the play button thingy and enjoy…

I mean, gosh! Really…

All thoughts welcomed….

Thanks Lee.

I love everything about this advert. It’s just so grim and beautiful and sad and horrid and – like the chair itself – lovely….

I thank you, @Flammentisch. You may now be seated.

You really are. And if you think there is anything sinister about this clip, then you are, well, not fantastic.

Thank you @Tess for this completely unchilling clip.
