Kina Grannis – 1 year later

December 27th, 2008

Kina GrannisAbout 1 year ago, I posted the video of Kina Grannis’s song “Gotta Digg”. She posted that video to win a competition by Doritos, which probably thanks to this song she actually did win.

1 year later, she posted the famous song for free as a download on her website. You should definetly check out her album on iTunes too. My only problem is, it’s not on Spotify which is a real pity. Atleast get Gotta Digg up on Spotify :)

Stupidity Redefined

December 26th, 2008

starbucksThis morning I received a small quote via Jaiku:

chewypow: so when i worked at Starbucks in little rock, there was this super hot 18 year old, miss teen usa right
chewypow: she came in one day and was talking to me and told me when she was brushing her hair that morning, a lot of it came out.. she then continues to explain that she thought she had ‘chemo’
chewypow: a week later she comes in and uses some mouthwash, and then swallows it. I point out to her that it says on the back if accidently swallowed to call poison control immediately
chewypow: she reads the label and looks at me and says “Oh.. it’s ok. I didn’t do it on accident”
muku:
chewypow: exactly. brain synapses stop firing when you hear this story right?
Comment: Sadly a true story

It makes you wonder how we survive at all.

Ad Campaign done right

December 22nd, 2008

Because I have danish blood running through me, I sometimes check some danish TV, and I stumbled upon the probably best ad ever! Watch and enjoy. Especially the second one!

I love Spotify even more!

December 18th, 2008

WOOOT!

Spotify just released their update! And now get this: It supports Last.fm scrobbling! Amazing! So just set it up in the configuration of the client and starts scrobbling! The official announcement can be found here.

Now the only thing missing is playing Last.fm recommended songs.

So I’ll be resuming to scrobble finally!

Booty Luv live at Royal Holloway’s SU

December 12th, 2008

Last Wednesday was an SU night unlike the others. It started off with 1h30m waiting in line for tickets in front of the SU in the freezing cold. The queue wasn’t as long as it was for the Malibu night, which was surprising as the SU announced to have a live performance by Booty Luv. After nearly freezing to death, the SU openend 30 minutes late. It takes time to find out how to turn up the master volume ;)

For once, the DJ wasn’t too bad, he atleast tried to mix unlike some other people playing music there.

Around midnight we hear a short announcement that Booty Luv were about to start. What can I say? Everyone ran over to the podium, squishing everything in the way. The funny thing was, after 10 minutes, it was over. Booty Luv was gone.

I must say, that was the shortest performance I have ever seen. Unbelievable. How cheap is the SU?

To round this post off, here’s a small video of the shortest performance ever. Sorry for the crappy footage.

The Weihnachtsmarkt invades the UK

December 11th, 2008

About a week ago, the RHUL German Society went to a ‘Weihnachtsmarkt’ in Kingswood.

We quickly realized that this was a joke. It had nothing to do with a real German Christmas Market. It only consisted of a few huts, and it was difficult to find german stuff.

However, apparantly there are some Christmas Markets in the UK that are closer to a real German Christmas Market. This aired yesterday in the German News, so I had to put this in. I’m sorry that this is a German Video, but I just can’t be arsed to write subtitles.

Now this is what I call Internet!

December 5th, 2008

Finally I feel like home. I found a place where “Ze Tubes” of the Web connect, and are big enough to handle my huge demands.

Now I can finally use the internet the way it’s supposed to be used!
