Live From Coachella Björk
It's night time and it's 'effin HOT here at Coachella, mostly because of all the people breathing around me. UGH! But my night is made better by Björk who performed some of her oldies and lots of new material off her upcoming album Volta. One of my fav performances was her encore of a song called "Independence".
This is the Björk I fell in love with; the hardcore electronica bass thumping screaming girl. The crowd was nuts and if they weren't nuts to begin with, they were by the time she reached the climax of this song. "Independence" sounds like old school Sugarcubes mixed with the B-52's. This ladies and gentlemen is techno. No wait, scratch that. This is Björk techno!
UPDATE: Many more videos from last night's performance. Hit the jump!

Want A Free Trip To Hollywood?
Hey peeps, the 15 GIGS OF FEAR Contest is back, this time in support of the upcoming horror flick 28 Weeks Later. Just like the previous one, you create the scariest video mash-up and upload to Fox Atomic's site. If you win, you'll get an all expensed paid trip to Hollywood, tour the Fox Studio lot and be made into a bleeding, oozing, brain-hungry zombie just like in 28 Weeks Later.
All submissions must be entered by April 30th. Then it's up to the public to vote for which is their favorite. On May 11th a winner will be chosen from the top 20.

Sexy Enough To Make Me Wanna Try Surfing
Plankton and I don't often agree on our idea's of fun. One activity he enjoys that I don't is surfing. I like water just fine (I'm a Cancer) but I never got into surfing. Maybe because surfing is more about being in a natural state - to be one with the water sort of speak. Technology has no place there so it never appealed to me. The Light Wave Surfboard may be the ticket to get me back in the water.
Designed for surfers who prefer to ride in the early mornings, the Light Wave Surfboard features headlights, rail lights and fin lights. The lights are activated by pressure sensitive dimmer switches and by tilting the nose up above the water to light the way. The entire system is powered by two replaceable batteries.
Meh, now that I've written this, my excitement has subsided. Maybe when they find a way to integrate wings so I can fly across the surface like a stingray.

I'm Joosting
I just want to thank the boys over at Fresh Creation for the Joost invite. Because of them, I am now enjoying Saturday morning cartoons right on my desktop.
For those not in the know;
"Joost is a new way of watching TV on the internet. With Joost you get all the things you love about TV, including high quality full screen pictures, hundreds of full length shows and easy channel flipping."
There's actually a ton of other things too like chatting with people watching the same programs. Anywho, once I start getting some invites to send, I'll let you faithful readers know.
