Music video of the year

I’ve just been watching a spot of Video Hits, and inbetween all the ads for shit ringtones and crap pop music, I saw what I think is the best music video I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s for “Here It Goes Again” by OK Go. As well as being a great video, the song was quite good too. It’s refreshing to see some artists/directors still have a bit of imagination and can come up with something this entertaining.

Watch the video here.

What water restrictions?

Since moving into the new house and setting up the nice, new, low-line entertainment unit recently purchased from Dare Gallery, Jane and I have decided that the 51cm CRT TV isn’t quite big enough to take centre stage amongst the surround speakers – which, after purchasing them 4 years ago, I’m finally going to be able to set up properly, without having to worry about parents and landlord objections about ceiling mounts or too much noise when watching The Matrix.

So, with no money in the bank and lots of wild ideas bouncning around my head, I have started doing some reading on the pros and cons of flat panel display units. What’s the difference between LCD and Plasma? Which is better? Which will last longer? Which gives the best picture? How much to spend? How big to go? The mind boggles.

In my research I came accross a company that is selling fully waterproof LCD TVs for use in wet environments including “spas, poolside, or even the shower”. This begs the question: Is anyone really surprised that we aren’t going to be allowed to wash our cars this summer because too many people are watching Mel and Kochie on Sunrise while in the shower, instead of washing under their armpits?

Television voyeurism

After seeing a little bit of the 2006 installment of the horrible franchise that is Big Brother, I think this year might be the best one yet in terms of nice looking ladies. It’s just a shame that you have to put up with all the pointless crap that comes out of their tiny little brains.

The Easter bunny came. How exciting. I will have to enjoy the chocolate while watching The Biggest Loser, to remind me not to eat too much!

News today is that the Simpsons will “star” in a feature length movie to be released in 2007. All I have to say is: It’s about time!!
