Noone likes to take a test, sometimes you know more is less

It was a really long wait for the new Editors single, can't get into it:




Stubru chose this



over this



to be the next hotshot. DOES NOT COMPUTE!


Ever heard the disco-Feist? Good stuff!



Still arguably the best thread on the internetz (SFW): Click

Remix of the last few weeks and moderate hype song in Belgium was legally downloadable for free for one day, too bad you missed it. Everyone loves this, works pretty much anywhere:



I hated the Florence & The Machine-version of "You got the love", but The XX however still succeeded in doing a pretty good remix of it:

Green Wing



Green Wing is a atypical British hospital series, that ignores all the medical (I've been growing bored with the third House MD season anyway) stuff and just focuses on the very weird and quirky medical staff. Think Arrested Development-crazy. Also atypical is the episode length (three quarters) and the composition of the episodes, which consist of short dialogue settings, interspersed with sped up/slowed down edit of the cast members going about their business. This is apparently (Lazzi is a stage technique to fill up the time lost when changing backdrops and props when moving from one scene to the next. The fact that it is sped up and slowed down here gives it an extra comical effect, while at the same time giving a slightly unnerving, unsettling feel that can make the episodes kind of hard to watch.

In other British comedy news, BBC2 is rerunning "I'm Alan Partridge"-series Sunday nights around midnight.



This series is set around a failed tv and radio-host that tries to get his career back on track. The main character (played by Steve Coogan) looks like the perfect cross between Mark Uytterhoeven en Martin Heylen.

Both recommended.
