Mike and Paul love Nando's sauce

Looks  like McCartney and Jackson have been hustling villagers all over the wild west with none other than Nando's peri peri sauce..



The only thing wonderful about that potion is how delicious it makes yo' grilled chicken. Boy, are those folks in for a treat!

The Kids Don't Stand A Chance

Recently we've been seeing trailers for a number of children's films suitable for a more high brow audience. I'm getting more and more excited by the day for the release of Where The Wild Things Are; getting Spike Jonze in to direct is going to draw an older crowd, and I think those kids might struggle to get their tickets before they all sell out.
Here's a trailer and a featurette to get you hyped for the release, I wish we didn't have to wait until December.





I also can't wait for Fantastic Mr Fox. Directed by Wes Anderson and all done in stop motion, it looks sure to be as fantastic as its title character. It looks charming, sharp, very well cast, and it won't be long until its release!

Jumpstyle

I'm really feelin' these Europeans going crazy over jumpstyle. Imagine some super-intense happy hardcore with a bunch of suckers in weird clothes doing some kind of highland fling/martial arts/cripwalk crossbreed. When theyre all doing it in sync it looks insane, we caught a huge group of kids going at it in Alexanderplatz, Berlin. I don't know if you can see in the second picture, but the guy in the matrix shades and cyberdog UFO pants with the neon green skull? He was their leader. The Lord of the Dance if you will. When he turned up they all went nuts and hugged him, and his girlfriend was hot. He never got up and danced though, shame.



These videos will give you a better idea of what it's all about.




Melt! Festival 2009


Earlier this year, when all the festival tickets started to burst the internet floodgates, I had to make an important decision. Did I want to opt for the matching lads-on-tour polo shirts, extortionate ticket prices, and comparatively weak line-up of Benicassim? Or did I want to get my snob on and find something a little less "bait" but inherently more enjoyable?

Naturally, I went with the more pretentious option and settled on Melt! festival, which, although supposedly just outside Berlin, is in fact about 2 hours away on the train. However, the journey is completely worth it because the arena is bonkers. Whoever thought of putting stages, tents and some food stalls in a disused industrial site is a genius. The snappily named "Ferropolis" - or "Iron City" - is an old German ironworks, and is covered in enormous cranes and rusty old machinery which are all illuminated at night. Epic.

Also, you really can't go wrong with an £80 ticket, especially when it includes Röyksopp, Aphex Twin, Rex the Dog, Skream & Benga, Simian Mobile Disco, Boy8Bit, Phoenix, Erol Alkan & Boys Noize, Diplo, MSTRKRFT, Patrick Wolf, Brodinski, Tiga, Passion Pit... I won't even go on, there were just so many impressive names.

Anyway, again, I lost a lot of photos on the ruined film, so here is some of what I managed to salvage from the other rolls.
