Chameleon Circuit - Timelord Rock

Some of you know im a fan of the greatest youtuber of all time, Charlieissocoollike. I love the guy and hate the guy since he is living my dream of becoming an international superstar from his bedroom. ANYWAY, not content with being a whiz at editing short interesting videos, or being sent to E3 where he almost met felicia day, he has brought out an album with some mates called Chameleon Circuit about doctor-who.

Describing it as 'timelord rock' it basically is a homage to everything thats cool (and not cool) about doctor who, and is actually surprisingly good. DAM YOU CHARLIE!!

AGAIN ANYWAY, i love the album and its diverse sound, its unique, fun and rough round the edges. Below is my faveourate track from the Album 'an awful lot of running'. The video was created by some dudes called 'BechCrewProductions'.

King of Pop, MJ deaded.... doh!

There is no disputing that Michael Jacksons Music transcends all trends. The man himself was a nutjob in later life and i think was a poster board for how fame and fortune can twist a man, but no one can fault his musical talent.

in the 70's and 80's and even early 90's he ruled! and as an artist did some interesting musical stuff including film. Moonwalker was a great clash of different themes like secret agents, 1930's gangsters, mechanoid machines and transformers.

I also remember visiting disney world and seeing Captain EO, where he transforms an evil borg queen with the power of michael jackson "OOOOOWW!". Infact ill put that here from youtube.... it captures what many call the 'pepsi' generation. Stupid crazy hair, shoulder pads, everything angular, PVC..... Infact i have a craving for a can of pepsi just thinking about those days... :-s

Back into MANGA

Thanks to itunes i have started watching Manga again(or Anime). When a teenager i used to watch Dominion tank police, akira, appleseed and fist of the north star. Later on i got into the more art films of Studio Ghibli, Laputa, spirited away, Steamboy.

Now ive gone back to watching your typical outlandish Manga which is available on iTunes. Some Ghost in a Shell, Noien, but its Gurren Lagann that im currently hooked on. Its balls to the floor Manga like i rememeber, over the top, dumb and fun. It also does not mind taking the piss out of itself and all thats come before.

In Other Words - Ben Kweller

Another night slips away
In other words i should say
There are no words he should say
There are no words

In his eyes i see the fear
That only time could disappear
If only time could re-appear
Now's the time

Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it

The butterflies are passive aggressive and put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?

The multi-life is better than
The one we're in the one we knew
Cause everyone is seein' through everyone

They're steppin' on
His gold terrain
He's movin' on with bold refrain
His blatantly old campaign
Is movin' on

Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it

The butterflies are passive aggressive and put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?

What can't stay goes away

It starts stopping when it stops stopping

Glorious Dumnonni

When the Sun shines at a Dumnonni event i get burnt. Especially my nose. I always rememeber to cover my bald head, but my nose never escapes the rays of sun.

The event was amazing and refreshingly different due to the many new Player character groups that had turned up for this one.The players were mostly made up of long time experienced crew from Jacks bunch and the Brixam Bazerks, so i was a little worried who was going to crew this one. Jasper and his brother Erik also played this event and both seemed to be grinning alot more than the event two weeks before.



In all i think the event was a great mixture of fighting and roleplaying. With the blackshields and many other warrior types not at this one, meant there was less need for constant battles and the atmosphere during the night was glorious with the long house, roundhouse and outside fire pit being used for many different things.

I never really understood what the plot was, im sure someone did, but then me being crew means i dont really need to know.

Fun was had by all as always. Glorious Glorious summer solstice!
