2011's Top 50 Tunes
2011 has been an interesting year for me, musically. At the end of last year I started to tire of the style of house and techno I’d been playing out in clubs for the last few years - quite straight 4:4 house & electro - and realised I wanted a change. Adam K & I (amicably) decided topart ways and I left the LMP DJs. On the 1st of Jan 2011 I ditched all the CDs in my DJ wallet and...

WatchSomeone has found every video of Daft Punk at Coachella 2006 and cut them all together to recreate Daft Punk’s entire set. It’s really impressive work.

Thought provoking stuff about the Occupy movement →
This is a really interesting & thought provoking look at the Occupy movement. Every day I’m more and more shocked by what’s happening over there. Not that it’s limited to the US.

Free Pusha T mixtape.
I found this Pusha T mixtape through @cushtilla & The Smoking Section. Pusha T is part of the G.O.O.D. rosta and the mixtape features none other than the likes of Kanya, Pharrell and Ross. It’s brilliant - if you want some quality hip hop/rap then I highly recommend it.

Still Counting Calories? Your Weight-Loss Plan May... →

Chris Brown & Busta do Polka
Doing a comedy remix of a hit track isn’t new but this one is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
It just works way too well. Makes me laugh every time.

Interesting interactive film idea.
Toshiba & Intel have teamed up to make an interactive social media film-sort-of-thing. They’re probably not the sexiest of most exciting brands in the world but I’m a fan of fully interactive media, so I’ll be intrigued to see how this turns out.
More info about the project on Mashable (http://goo.gl/3wuJC)

A lesson from 12 year old me.
This is quite amusing. A family friend just forwarded an email to my mother that she sent to someone who wanted to know how to a nice make salad dressing. Funnily enough, this is still the rule I stick to when making salad dressing, and I usually love every one of them. Here is the said email:
