Amin-Peck

I found this today. Hmmm... you know, sometimes in my head it's not 2011

Good old the BBC

Esben and the Witch

Yes they're from Brighton so there's the possibility I'm biased, but for me there's something rather fantastic about trio's brand of 'nightmare pop'. This video shows them at their wonderfully disturbing best.

Give me one million dollars!



You are about to hate a guy named Craig Rowin. Maybe not hate, but you will absolutely resent him. Okay, you probably won’t resent him. But you will be extremely jealous and annoyed with yourself that you didn’t think of this. Actually, you probably did think of this, but you thought, “Pssshhhhhht, this would never happen.” But today, New York comedian Craig Rowin is a one-millionaire. Because he asked for one million dollars. And he got it. No, really. This actually happened.

So I'm putting it out there...please give Mirrors £1000 000.
