Dizzee Rascal at the Electric Proms
As much as I like Dizzee Rascal this is more exciting for me because he’s playing with the fantastic Heritage Orchestra.
The youtube vids have been pulled by the BBC but you can still get the gig on the Iplayer

Heart & soul
Really liked “Up”. Nice to see a film with real heart. Pixar’s films like Wall-E and Up make the Dreamworks output like Shrek look souless.
Another example of this: King Of The Hill = heart but Family Guy = souless.
Don’t get me wrong I like both, but KOTH is about something. FG is all about gags. They’re mostly really funny but they’re still gags.

Blog Action Day 09
Today is Blog Action Day (on twitter #BAD09). The idea is pretty simple if you have a blog then you can use it to draw attention to an issue. This year its climate change. Even Gordon Brown is in on the act.
