Random Roundup

Here’s a small selection of cool, funny and just plain freaky shit we found online this week:

Creepy scrolling nightmare artwork.

Photos of the world’s biggest barbeque. (Warning! Daily Mail!)

Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean Salami!

Holy fucking shit, I’m walking on the fucking moon!

This seemed appropriate, since today marks the 39th anniversary of man first walking on the moon.

Flobots - your new favourite politically-charged alternative rock/rap group

Check out this amazing video to the track Handlbars - it’s from a US band called Flobots who you probably won’t see getting much airplay in the UK any time soon. Think Rage Against the Machine for the post 9/11 world, and you’re on the right tracks.

Amazon UK is now carrying an import of the 2007 album which pushed Flobots into the US mainstream consciousness, and features the track Handlbars: Fight With Tools [Us Import]

The Watchmen trailer makes me moist in the crotch



Directed by Zack Snyder (who gave us 300 and the awesome 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake) Watchmen looks like it could well be the mother of all super-hero movies. And is that Mr Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins playing over the top? My fuck-yeah-ometer just went of the scale…

The film is based on one of the most loved graphic novels* of all time, and if you’ve never read it I highly recommend you get hold of a copy.

*Sorry, I mean COMICS
