Beatles Rockband Outro
I wrote a piece about the fantastic intro for the new Beatles Rockband game a few months back (click here) and the game was released on 09/09/09.
The game itself is OK if you like that style of music game but enhanced by the Beatles soundtrack and story.
The outro to the game is just as impressive [...]
Madonna’s Arms
In a recent trawl through the internet I came across this image on a blog about Madonna and the FBI and I just had to share it:
And to think that in my youth I had pictures of this woman on my bedroom wall!!!!

Actually that isn’t strictly true………the ad which gets its first airing today stars finger puppets of two of the Village People created by a decorator who
The new Hula Hoops TV ad is part of a clever intergrated campain that will also inclue promotion on 50 million packs, online, PR and in-store promotional activity. The ad [...]
Coca Cola Summer Gremlins TV Ad
Posted by in Music, TV Advertising on June 29th, 2009
Have you seen this new ad from Coca-Cola featuring a bizzarre organ player squirting coke into the mouths of what look like gremlins to get them to play a Calvin Harris track? If not prepare yourself:
The first time I saw it I wasn’t sure what had happened. Someone at Coke HQ must have eaten a [...]
The Saturdays Brighton Dome 25th June 2009
Posted by in Music on June 27th, 2009
Not my normal choice of night out but I had promised to take my 10 year old daughter, Lily, to her first gig……and she wanted The Saturdays. Initially I couldn’t get tickets because they were sold out and so Lily settled for Same Difference but my prayers were answered when this gig was cancelled due [...]
The Beatles Rockband Xbox 360 Trailer
Gaming has changed leaps and bounds over the last 10 years with the average age of gamers growing. I don’t mind admitting that I am knocking on 40s door and still love gaming and I am the target market for many of the games being launched.
One of the surprises for me (although on reflection I [...]
Collarbone – Fujiya & Miyagi
Posted by in Music on June 15th, 2009
Praise be for the internet and laptops.
Being a male I can multi-task, (often thought to be only a female trait but not so!) that is to say I can surf the net and watch TV at the same time. This comes in handy sometimes when I spot an ad that takes my fancy and lets [...]
Erik Satie – Nutter or Genius?
Posted by in Music on June 9th, 2009
Can’t remember when I first heard the haunting melody of Gymnopedie No.1 by Erik Satie but it seems to have been with me for years. There aren’t many people who recognise the name but as soon as the first few notes are played the penny drops.
It’s one of those tracks that pops up all over [...]
Is Michael Eavis All There?
I, like millions of others prefer my festivals from the comfort of my armchair (at least that nothing will get nicked from my tent!). So I made good use of my licence fee and watched the BBC coverage of Glastonbury 2008.
I’m not a big fan of Amy Winehouse but I couldn’t switch off when she [...]
