Totally.Enormous.Extinct.Dinosaurs

Or T.E.E.D…. Yeah I know, it is a little tedious the whole acronym thing, but it will pass and then there will be something else to moan about.

Like the poppy campness of this band and the remix of Lady Gaga he has done has actually made me like something about Gaga rather than wonder if it really does have both a willy and a cookie.

They were on Jo Whiley’s new show and played this track and I thought it sounded good there and that in a club with a better sound system than my home television could be dead good.

Anyhoot… T.E.E.D are playing at XOYO on Thursday….. might just take myself on down there

Sickboy – Heaven & Earth

Launch last night at the Truman Brewery… this reviewer is not going to cover himself in glory to be honest. I was in there for 7 minutes and there were some hot men in there to ogle but my friend was dying for a pee and we had to leave

Who we saving again?

Anyways quick review… Looked alright, was not blown away in all honesty, caravan serving drinks but unfortunately I do not go in for all this cider malarky, so was not interested. Sickboy had created a a confessional booth complete with a pastor to confess to. Now your writer has far far too much to confess so decided to walk away rather than create a bottle-neck up in that place

Time to confess

(Fashion + Art) x Charity = Sales + Feel Good Factor

How do brands communicate with their target consumer in a cool and relevant way? Well it has to be music, preferably new music. Or it has to be art, preferably Street or Graf. How about fashion, maybe through sport. All of these are tried and tested or some might say a little staid

To get cut through in an ever more suspicious and marketing savvy world, adding a touch of ‘Charidy’ is the perfect way to gain cut through with media sick and tired of PR jobs and consumers who want to have something cool whilst feeling all warm and fuzzy inside

Arty shoes

US based shoemakers Bucketfeet have created a fashionable product in a simple plimsoll with the art work of global artists then added a dash of feel good by donating 5% from each sale to partner charities, kid’s charities, kid’s charities that enable art, music and sport. Ta-daaaa Bucketfeet you are smashing it, all bases pretty much covered.

Consumers are also attracted to the idea of having a piece of artwork rather than a mass produced piece of design, getting artists involved who’s primary concern is all about the art, adds an additional level of attractiveness for me

I’ll challenge anyone to manage to make Crocs look anything like shoes for twats though….
