I have an X-Box 360, and love gaming, unfortunatley me and my consoles relationship is strained right now due to me not being a student anymore. Seriously I miss the poor guy, sitting in my room gathering dust. But seeing the new X-Box slim and the PS3 slim make's me go a bit weak at the knee's, they do look sexy.
Swagger Like Us Part 2
2 things to point out before I start this post
1) yep I said I didn't like the first song that much
2) there is very little reason to blog about music unless you have heard it
but I've just seen the line up of the Swagger Like Us remix which is meant to be on the Blueprint 3
Andre 3000
Nas
Young Jeezy

Fuck The Rain Umbrella, available at Art. Lebedev Studio.
I'm more of a hoods up and run kind of girl if i'm honest, thats not to say i'm opposed to a good umbrella. Lets be real, it all depends on how much the barnet needs protecting on that particular day. I do have a secret disdain for men who carry umbrellas though and I can't really explain this irrational dislike... but maybe it stems back to a date with a guy who had an umbrella, which was bad enough, but he didn't even attempt to share its protection when the rain came down. Dick head.
Lets just face it, i'm not even tempting fate, the rain is soon to come...
Fuck The Rain - SINK or SWIM?

"Everyone Who Knew Me Before 9/11 Believes I'm Dead"
Three and a half years ago, Frank Warren handed out self-addressed postcards to strangers in his home town and asked them to post the cards back with a secret written on them. He recieved hundreds of responses. Even after he stopped handing out the postcards, Warren continued to recieve anonymous secrets from people all over the world.
I can't remember where I first read about the 'PostSecret' project (although I think I vaguely remember the submissions being published in The Guardian Weekend magazine) but watching this short film on BBC News the other week reminded me what an inspired idea it was/is.
Warren posts a selection of the secrets he receives every week on PostSecret.Com. If you have the urge to get something off your chest you can send your secret to:

Gotta love her
Plaid too far?
We all love a bit of plaid. Tartan and plaid play happily together like siamese twins. D & G have in layman terms smacked it with their A/W 2008. No don't go and break your piggy's little porcelain feet, get vintage shopping and cop your own used one!
These ads have been knocking around for a while now and I'm undecided. I love me a bit of granny chic. But how appealing would a girl be with a scarf on her head? Mmm?
Hey Ladies, Kaws x Marc Jacobs
Kaws x Marc Jacobs Mouse Flats. The collaboration is to mark the 10th anniversary of Marc Jacobs mouse flats.
With Kaws finally doing something for the girls, this is a partnership that in theory, could promise so much... But in the end it has left me disappointed. I'm calling these shoes out as ugly.
Collaboration fever has gone crazy and in many instances the results are weak. People are going to have to come stronger than this to make me part with my hard earned student loan money, lol.
Have your say.
Do these Kaws x Marc Jacobs shoes SINK or SWIM?

Synecdoche New York
Is the new film from Charlie Kauffman (Eternal Sunshine, Adaptation) and stars the legend that is Philip Seymour-Hoffman. The film looks bizarre to say the least and during the trail I had points were I was wondering if it was too eclectic but when I saw the moment with the rose and the final line ... I'm in.
It's showing at the BFI Film Festival but all the tickets are gone already... have to wait for your local arthouse cinema I reckon.
Ghetto - Sing For Me
New video from Ghetto, it's a cool video, defiantly his best yet quality wise.

In The News Today...
Above is the design for new identity cards as unveiled by home secretary Jacqui Smith earlier today.
Ministers are arguing that...
The cards will boost national security, tackle identity fraud, prevent illegal working and improve border controls.
But opponents say ID cards are unnecessary, costly and impinge liberty. There are also fears about the security of personal data after a string of government data loss blunders.
From 2011 everyone over the age of 16 applying for a passport will have their details added to a national identity register. Which will include such private data as fingerprint records and i'm speculating on such details as favourite ice cream flavour.
Apart from the fact that in all my current ID pictures I look a bit like a monster, I'm leaning towards the introduction of these cards. If only it was that simple though.
Read a little more here.
Thoughts people. Does this make you feel angry? Are you apathetic towards the whole thing?
TO ID or NOT to ID...? that is the question.

NEXT on ATCN: Drums Of Death
I have been wanting to post up about Drums Of Death for a while but I thought i'd wait until the EP dropped... now it's finally here. It's too much! Really, reaaally sick. DOD's track 'Breathe' has been on heavy rotation for the largest part of the summer and I am still not bored of it. Breathe's stabbing techno keys combined with a baseline that sounds like it's been sucked through a hoover gets me everytime. The EP has been released via tastemaker label, Greco-Roman Records. Drums Of Death killed at Glastonbury this year and will no doubt kill it at every other festival in 2009. Drums Of Death is currently supporting Hot Chip on their US Tour. Look out for this Scotsman, he has definately got NEXT!
Check out his music here.
If you like what you hear, go and buy the EP here.

Although myself and Vis are called the troublemakers of radio and we do like to have fun with our guests (sometimes at their expense) we've never REALLY upset a guest (except Rihanna). But this guy looks like he's about to send Young Jeezy over the edge. Not a smart move.

Episode 56...
The one where Carrie's laptop dies. Now its quite easy for lady folk to find a suitable Sex And The City reference for an array of everyday and some not so everyday occurrences. But this one was no joking matter to be discussed with the girls, instead, it cut deep and I went straight into mourning.
Yesterday my little mac book took a turn for the worse, with no warning or previous bad health, its hard drive crashed and everything was lost, uni work, photos...music. I've got a 20,000 word essay that thankfully exists on paper, but needs to become re digitalized. £50 for anybody willing to retype it. Nahh, didn't think so. I'm just thankful the little shit decided to die a month within warranty time.
Anyway, I just need to put it out there. BACK UP YO SHIT! People keep asking me why didn't I back up. Who backs up their stuff? I definitely didn't. Nobody tells you to back up until its too late.
I at least got a good TV deja vu out of it... when you think something has happened to you or a friend before. Only to realize it was actually witnessed on tv. I get frequent Peep Show inspired moments of this kind. Unquestionably sad, I know. But don't front like its never happened to you before.
