Want to feel stupidly insignificant?

#NASA

Thank you NASA for making me feel like so very very insignificant. The vastness of our universe has never been so well realised than this video using collected data over the last few decades.

Although I will say this. The music could be a lot more lavishly epic. SO! Use the audio in the video just below and mute the 'The Known Universe' video and click play!


PLAY THIS.



MUTE THIS. WATCH THIS.

King Krule - Wow

#kingkrule #zookid

Holy Awesome.

King Krule (Archy Marshall) previously known as Zoo Kid is a 17 year old London talent about to burst into everybody's ear drums. His self titled EP was released November 7 and it's absolutely delicious in it's mood, lyrics and general bluesy feel. Get on this!



Grab the EP on vinyl here

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger

Any company that pours this much creativity and money into an advertising campaign, should secure your business. Whether it be a car, a restaurant, or even a French pay TV channel / film studio.

Oui Oui, Pee Pee.

This is a clever and extremely well made ad. You should watch/interact with it.

What do you thinks wrong with this video?

@GovernorPerry #GrammarFail



Another Republican goose. Another George W. Bush rip off who can't pronounce his speeches, mainly because someone else writes them.

Here at the Castle, we will be the last blog posting about failing grammar. After all, we are human too. The fact is, you'll never ever read on our site the following sentence "That's what our president thinks wrong with America?" Although, taken out of context, it may seem grammatically correct, but Time Magazine have outlined Ricky Perry's sentence, very clearly.

Clinton struggled over what the definition of “is” is. Perry just gets rid of the word. Here is what Perry says: “Can you believe that? That’s what our President thinks wrong with America?” Most would say this sentence differently: “That’s what our President thinks is wrong with America?” Without the second use of the verb “to be,” the sentence is a lot more folksy. And gutsy. This is a scripted ad, after all, and Perry is choosing to speak informal English. “Thinks wrong” suggests Obama is the one thinking poorly. “Thinks is wrong” makes clear that Obama thinks something else is wrong. But Perry doesn’t seem to mind the confusion.


The stupid thing in all of this, what Obama was commenting on, which was taken COMPLETELY out of context, was that American policy makers have been lazy in not doing more to attract business.


At least Perry managed to keep coherent during this video:

GLUTTONS FOR PUNISHMENT

@rickygervais #GoldenGlobes

This picture says it all

Well, there is someone smart behind the scenes at the Golden Globes. Someone who says "We aren't the Oscars. We aren't formal. We need ratings."

Well, congratulations, Ricky Gervais will be back to host the Golden Globes in 2012.

I can only imagine what will be said. Will he even take a punch at himself if "Life's Too Short" fails to live up to his previous endeavours. Will this be a different globes if Gervais turns up with a dud tv show under his belt, or will LTS pick up and become a fantastic show, making Ricky Gervais, virtually untouchable.

Stay tuned. Globes '12, early Jan.

Kicker

@stripsteve @RYNECOLOGIST
Read from the two talented producers below.

"Last evening, just before the normal working day at the BNR headquarter came to an end, Strip Steve and Rynecologist stopped by with their usual entourage to give us a gift, we would've never expected. Before spoiling too much at this point, we will just let the boys explain themselves and tell their affected story..:
"3 weeks ago when Ryne arrived in Berlin, we would meet regularly at the BNR office to do some work, drink Club Mate; eat kebabs and share music. We would sometimes play a bit of this Table Soccer laying there, lonely and untouched, like a grand piano that collects dust in the living room of a suburban house.
To our surprise we started meeting everyday, "same time, same place", and got more and more into it until it became an addiction. Championships turning friends to foes, trash talking, gambling and the slow demise of the table became the quotidian of the office. The ruckus of the games would become such a nuisance to the workers, that we realized we had to do something about it. The fact that we would come and play for hours, while they were working, made us feel guilty.
So here comes Kicker, a track entirely made out of recorded series of games. The spirit of Wishmountain (aka Matthew Herbert) sparked the idea and inspired the core of the track. Every single element (including the Kick, the Toms, the Claps and all the rest) are all sounds from us playing. It is a double statement; both an apology to the BNR boys, and the proof that, "Hey, we were actually working too."
With Love,
Strip Steve & Rynecologist."

PIN UPS

@soulwax #radiosoulwax #pinups

After a bit of a break Radio Soulwax is back with a new hour long show called Pin Ups. This one is based on all the Pin Up Covers the Dewaele Brothers grew up with. So I have no idea the kind of great, silly, bizarre or awful beats will be played but I'm damn interested as always.

Drive into Vice City

#Drive @iamkavinsky #gtavicecity

Someone (TUItillidie) thought the city in the intro of the fantastic movie Drive looked a lot like Grand Theft Auto's Vice City. So he made this. It's shot for shot including the sublime track 'Nightcall' by Kavinsky.



If you haven't seen Drive then put on your pants and get to your nearest Cinema now. One of the best films this year. You'll get a Cinematic boner watching it.

No Words [Now With Translation]

@starwars

Just watch.



Update - FrenchyBoy - TRANSLATION


"Over there in the stars, war goes on far from the sun. Over there, the father gets carried away, the rockets spits red blood. For you, The men and the beasts have taken their weapon again. For you, they will go through the night. For you, deep from the deserts and the seas comes.. ..All who have not been seduced by fear Over there in the stars, in pale night, far from the sun. Over there sky kindle, with gold and flames, the new wars. Over there, near the frontier of hope, We see a shining iron brain, a great black cape and a blood mask. The sword of light is with him. The sword of light is with him. Over there in the stars, war goes on like a sun. Over there, the father gets carried away, the rockets spits red blood"

BF3 and the Flying Snipers

#bf3 #flyingsniper

Battlefield 3 is a truly awesome game (campaign aside) and here's yet another silly way to fight your wars online. Recon junkies be joyful.



This is all well and good but i think players would be easily picked off by other snipers on the map after a while. Also even if they don't allow this in a later patch you can always parachute skilfully to a desired high point on the map.

P.S. Battlefield 3 is a head and shoulders above Modern Warfare 3 for engaging multiplayer.

Invisible cloaks > Hoverboards

#Invisible



Remember when you were a kid and you wanted an Invisibility cloak?
And then you were a teenager and Harry Potter got an invisibility cloak?
And you were all like, fuck you Harry.

Well, maybe you can have one too.




Then maybe, because they have nearly mastered hoverboards as well, you could ride your hoverboard whilst wearing your invisible cloak.

I'd buy one.

Clouds - Matter.
