When he was singing at the Olympia in gay Paris Buckley decided to do a cover of Kasmir by Led Zep, but because he had such a large vocal range, he played it at twice the speed and increased the pitch of his voice to match - chipmunk stylee.

Thanks to a radio 5 trailer for the world cup, with Kasmir as a backing track, the Fi Glover was playing it on her show. Then someone decided to send the puff daddy version (which sucks a little). So I took it upon myself to get them to hear Buckley's version. After encoding it as an mp3 and dispatching it, it was duly played at about ten to one in the morning on national radio.

Hell it broke copyright laws but there's a really odd sense of satisfaction you get when you hear something you've sent in being played on live radio.

Also it's probably the first time in about 5 years that Buckley's got a play on the radio.

Brilliant :-)

Is that the Cake episode... was it cake or something else?

I shall watch it, if only to remind myself why Chris Morris is a genius and why the Daily Mail missed the point in such a huge all-encompassing way that trying to think up an amusing comparison involving something missing something is nigh on impossible.

If you're feeling Poncy check out L'Appartement.. It's french, obviously, but it's rather good. It has Vincent Cassel in it, with hair, and a Hitchcock/Coens twisty plot. The ending's a little bit of a let down but before that it's brilliant.

No No Noooo, watch the "Drugs" episode with the commentary on, even if you only watch that episode until after exams.

I'm not going to be back for long... I've got 11 exams to go and then it's all over at long bloody last. 3 months of laziness beer, films and I'll pop in here too :-)

I bought the brasseye DVD and Ghostworld yesterday. I can't watch them till after exams, otherwise I won't revise at all...

And I need to revise 3 modules of economics, three of english, where I don't get to take the books in, and have to learn the quotes. It's a nightmare. And it's going to prove entirely useless in later life. Still, such is school :-)
