This is about as close as I get to listening to dubstep

Mount Kimbie - Maybes by cohenburg

So, yeah, this isn't dubstep, but it's kind of like it's dreamy little offspring, free of most of the angry free-wheelin', dropping and wobbling bass of conventional dubstep. It's almost happy, sunny music at times, but not quite. I'm told that some people have been calling this kind of music "step", but that's kind of like telling someone who has a mild case of down syndrome that they have an affliction of syndrome. Which just isn't right. Well, actually, it's nothing like that at all. But no matter, my point is that it's just not right, and maybe you can just take my word for it. 

The song you can listen to above is by Mount Kimbie (the same chaps that did that swell remix of Foals' "Spanish Sahara"), a UK duo who, as I have been trying to circuitously point out with an insulting analogy, have a vaguely-dubsteppy take on ambient electronica. And no, don't worry, by ambient electronica I don't mean that it's all emotional and "deep" like that morbidly depressing Burial guy. Or that photo of the guys above. Anyway, suit up your best pair of earphones and give this track a lil' whirl if you fancy. It's pretty nice.

Best ad ever?

Pretty good, no?

Yet, for some peculiar reason, I still have a soft spot for Ronaldo's Castrol ad. And I just found the extended version of it for the first time. It's better than the original because he speaks more english words in his weird fucked up Portuguese accent that I can laugh at...futbul takes mi miny plaseees...hot plaseeeees....cold plaseeees...exhillirateeeeing plaseees...and other plaseees...bitturprepureforitalll... because in my life, pipple rispect only the bist perfurmeence...evan under extreme conditions...and...SODOI!

ahahahaha

Brigitte Bardot may be bat-shit crazy, but I still like this song

How have I never seen this before? I suck.

Also, whilst I'm on the subject of Brigitte Bardot, it baffles me to comprehend how this naively sensuous little sex kitten...

...could turn into this cantankerous-old-wrinkly-racist-homophobe?

This seriously disturbs me. And just in case you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll tell you. Firstly, racism. Without even consulting Wikipedia, I can tell you that Miss Bardot has been convicted for inciting racial hatred at least five times. Her general argument, as far as I'm aware, is that Muslims are horrible job thieving brown people that are attempting to destroy France by killing sheep in the wrong way. 

But who am I to wittle such incendiary hatred into one mere sentence of my own design. So here she is in her very own words: “I’ve had it with these Muslims coming over here, taking all our jobs and slaughtering our sheep in accordance with their own religious beliefs.” You can just imagine her bulging throat waddling back and forth as she vigorously points an accusatory finger at the nearest Muslim in earshot. 

She's also a massive homophobe, and happens to believe that gays are “fairground freaks who jiggle their bottoms, put their little fingers in the air and, with their little castrato voices, moan about what those ghastly heteros put them through”. And that quote isn't even some drunken joke taken way out of context. She wrote that down. In her very own book. I almost want to read it.

If it earns her any brownie points though, she does love animals, apparently, and once tried to save some Canadian seals from being killed or harassed or something. Quite noble. But this just reminds me of an article I read a while ago about fascists having a thing for animals. Had something to do with having a controlling psyche. And being mental. Or maybe I'm just getting confused with this website, that's dedicated to pictures of cats that look like Hitler. Either way, Brigitte Bardot is pretty shit. But shit in an entertaining kind of way. Kind of like Berlusconi then, but way better looking.
