This Week In Links : Worth An Orange Wednesday, Spotify Disco Al Desko & even The Ash Cloud is on Twitter.

Sometimes, if you don’t fancy socializing in your canteen, you’re on packed lunches or you just fancy doing lunch Al Desko, the internet can be a wonderful wonderful thing. Recently I’ve been shamelessly nerding out on Twitter for links, wading through newsletters and for the film section, I basically pulled all the trailers off YouTube for all the film posters I’d seen on my travels this week. First up two things specifically t’internet-focussed are the Webbys where you get to go on the site and vote for all the clips and websites you think are awesome. There’ll be some virals you recognize but a few you won’t so worth an explore: http://webby.aol.com/.

mflow has been described as a cross between Itunes and Twitter, it’s basically an online music store that lets you share your taste with others. I’ve not had the chance to get into it properly yet but if you are and you rate it, let me know. And on to the rest of the week’s noteable links…

 

This Week I Have Mostly Been Listening To:

 

Darwin Deez ‘Radar Detector’  http://hypem.com/track/1091372/Darwin+Deez+-+Radar+Detector

 

Charlotte Gainsbourg ’Time Of Assassins’ http://hypem.com/track/1095353/tim+chester+-+Time+of+the+Assassins+XXX+Change+Remix+

 

Health ‘USA Boys’   http://hypem.com/track/1095308/HEALTH+-+USA+Boys

 

Katy Perry does MGMT, musically http://hypem.com/track/1093879/Katy+Perry+-+Electric+Feel

 

The new LCD Soundsystem album ‘This Is Happening’ http://www.lcdsoundsystem.com/thisishappening/

 I also downloaded for free and loved  ‘Fools Day’ – Blur ( http://www.blur.co.uk/ )

 

 

Worth An Orange Wednesday?

 

It’s A Wonderful Afterlife.

Verdict: Total chick flick (with Mahesh from Heroes = win) so maybe Orange Wednesday with the girls but more likely DVD. Don’t you REALLY hate it when film trailers give the ending away?

The Ghost Writer

Verdict: Low priority DVD, Ewan’s a bit meh isn’t he?

Extract

Verdict: Orange Wednesday.

The Joneses

Verdict: Orange Wednesday.

Agora

Verdict: I think I’d rather watch Armageddon. I don’t think I need to elaborate any further.

 

 

FYI

Those of you that enjoyed the post Brighton Beach, YSL 100s and Julie Driscoll – I’ll always have a soft spot for Mods from a few months ago, might find it interesting that the  mod club in London I mentioned that my friend had visited was Blow Up then at The Wag Club, it’s current incarnation is now at 4 Denmark Street, handy link: http://www.blowupclub.com/default.aspx

 

 

Soopsworld’s Spotify Disco Al Desko

Hang on, WTF is a Spotify Disco Al Desko you may well be asking yourself? Basically myself and  couple of mates compile a playlist for each week for your listening pleasure as you munch your sandwiches or whatever it is you’re doing at your computer. You’re very welcome.
