Hilarious vid from Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz. This absolutely killed me…

Ridiculous death metal band logos

I just stumbled across this wicked blog post while searching for death metal band logos on Google (don’t ask). Starting with some fairly legible and classic logos the post descends into the madness…

Good to ridiculous - a load of funny death metal band logos

As an aside, I recently bought this book, which is kinda cool, but a little bit niche in its interest. A collection of hundreds of death metal logos all designed by one guy over the last couple of decades (I think). A cool book if you’re into that kinda thing…

The Rock ‘N’ Roll Metro Map

It’s way too big to embed here but this map showing the paths in the history of Rock ‘N’ Roll is an interesting read. I’m not totally sure about Aerosmith being placed in between Dire Straits and Queen and certainly not sure that David Byrne would be happy with Talking Heads coming straight after Abba!

It’s probably a good thing that I’ve heard of about two of the bands on the pink line, right?

Now that’s what I call a sandwich!

I stumbled across this Guardian article the other day on the joys of sandwich making. After discussion of a few classics in the sandwich game the author makes a bold claim: to know the recipe for the ultimate sandwich.

Without trying I can’t prove or deny this, although I have to say that it looks like it might be possible…

(No horseradish for me, though. UUuuurgh!)

A new site I made! 12in.ch

I’ve been working on a little fun project for the past few of months. It’s an idea I had a long time ago to go with a domain that I’d bought - http://12in.ch. I wanted a place where I could use my camera to take some really nice pics of weird and wonderful records in my collection - coloured ones, picture discs, etched etc. and also wanted to try a design that used hand drawn elements.

We launched it earlier this week and the reaction has been great. Loads of people have signed up to contribute images and there have been some excellent ones posted already!

Check it out for yourselves
