Sir David Attenborough

I grew up watching all your wildlife shows. You're an inspiration and thank you for going to Madagascar

Competitions

are shit. I never win.

I mean I know they say lucky in the game unlucky in love, but sometimes I NEED that flat screen tv with incorporated dvd and blue ray player with surround sound and internet capabilities.

Zoe

Calm your Sushi obsessions down, child. Ever heard of the tuna crisis in Japan.

Love you, your weird fascination with hearts and your meatballs...yeah the ones you said gave you a tummy ache.

Nash

Your new shoes are music to my ears...literally. Love your work.

And if anyone wants to try it at home here's how

1. Dismantle the amp and speakers


2. Meticulously take apart the control panel, switches, nodules and input sockets (checking at each stage to make sure things still worked - and solving any problems)

3. Mark on the sneakers where I was going to cut out the holes for the speaker cones, and then very carefully cut out using a scalpel

4. Gut the inside of the sole unit to fit the amp and mark the outside of the midsole to fit all the volume controls and LED (again making sure all was still working)

5. Mark and cut out the holes for the on/off switch and the audio input/output sockets

6. Design the wooden stands, cut them out, sand, clean, varnish and assemble them

7. Attach the sneakers and run the power cables through the stands

8. Fit the speakers and rig all the wires with a soldering iron and heat seal shrink rubber tubing (of which there were about 30 soldered joints)

9. Make bespoke phono cables, as standard cables are just black

10. Add a small plaque, depicting what does what on the sneaker control panel

Black Mamba

If I wear Air Jordans will it mean that I'll be as cool a Kobe?

Shucks I sure do hope so mom.

I love you Kobe- even if you cheated on your wife and are probably gay.

Bieber Fever

Who knows how long it'll be around for. I know I have it. My mum has it even my dog has it.

I swear he even knows the words to 'Somebody to Love'. He howls it whenever there's a full moon

LFW

Boy am I glad that I have NOTHING to do with this bi-yearly bitch fest.

Yes, even Ellie Goulding attended. Feel special now?

Hey Ellie- why the long face? Oh wait that IS your face.

Even ducks have sex

And if you live above a canal with horny geese you can bid adieu to peaceful sleeping.

There's not many ducks I could watch mate except maybe these two.

Best Album Intro

That's what So Solid's 'They don't Know' has.

Still relevant in 2011.

SDA

Thanks for the shits and giggles ladies.

Josephine aka amazingly-talented-artist-who-will-rule-the-world-with-her-bangingness and has also designed the awards for Gilles Peterson's WW Awards amongst other things, your food was banging.

I beg you cook for me always.

My boyfriend the Douche

He's going to Bali to surf in May for two weeks.

This means two things:
1) party time is on like donkey kong
2) he will come back missing a leg; it having been chewed off by a shark.

In the first instance, I'll be getting some and in the second instance he'll be getting none.

Have fun in Bali, Pascal.

100 Club

Converse are killing it at the moment. Mind you it's about time a global ifestyle brand grew some balls.

They've unravelled their phase 2 music strategy with 'connectivity' at its heart and paired unlikely musicians, Paloma and The Coral, up to create beatiful melodies.

Now, they've taking a step further and are involved in sponsoring iconic music venues albeit for a good cause. First up, it's the 100 Club whose owners couldn't keep up the rental payments; the club's future was looking aeriously bleak until the brand stepped in proving that brands can also be used for a greater good.

And as I'm a dab hand at photoshop, thought you'd appreciate my handywork below.

Chiddy Bang

My brothers from two other mothers.

Adele

No wonder she's number one in 17 countries and this track is Number one on i-tunes.

Meat

I love it.

Pork, lamb,veal, beef, rib eye, fillet. Feed me meat, coleslaw and BBQ sauce and I'll be yours forevs.

Meat is what porn is to sex addicts and Bodeans is my Stringfellows.

Pls note that too much meat consumption is damaging to your health.

Tyler The Creator

Would I sound like a dick if I said I didn't get it?

I mean I do get it but I don't like it. I only like things with pink ribbons, lollipops and rainbows.

Killer rhymes though...anyone who can 'stab Bruno Mars in the goddamn oesophagus until the cops come in' and make it rhyme has got to have talent.

Thanks, Tyler, for also making cockroach eating appealing. Off I go to bake a cake.

Brits

I'll just be echoing whatever you've already read elsewhere.

But Adele was amazing! Brought the house down and Plan B is a G.

Madonna vs Gaga

Can you even tell the difference?

No, thought not.

Hearts

Everywhere....even in music.

I want their heart shaped vynil too!

Large Up
