For some reason the digital signal in my area has been utter bollocks the last few days and i can only presume that it's dow to the weather.

So unless it clears up it looks like this is week 2 where i can't watch the show on the night. :smith:

I caught literally the last ~7 seconds of it and got "Do we really need the Moon? Of course we do!". Well, there's an hour saved, I'm pretty sure I already knew that.

Homestuck is a true work of art surpassing all of Shakespeare's works.
My only complaint was the first Bumming Around skit went on far too long. I know that was part of the joke but I still wanted to claw my eyes out and jam them in my ears.
The second part at least had some oddly enjoyable bleakness to it.

I miss Whatever so much. There was no better way of feeling superior as a human being than watching the total fuckwit morons trying to be presenters. The only thing it did wrong was not nuking the place at the end of the run.

Paxo really laid into the EDL boss on newsnight. Did a very good job at picking out all the loopholes in his logic.

The problem with LeBlanc is that he appears to just be playing a more sweary, less retarded, slightly antagonistic Joey.

It's bad because he's either typecasting himself further or it shows that he's a very bad actor if he was more or less acting a nice version of himself in Friends and Joey.

Either way, when i'm watching it, i feel that i'm watching Joey "Real life edition" which is odd.

I really think this is unfair criticism. A sweary, non-retarded, antagonistic Joey isn't Joey at all. He's not a particularly nice guy in this when Joey was 100% good natured all the time.

Of course he reminds you of Joey, because you've seen Friends a thousand times and he shares the same face and vocal chords. He's playing a smart alec, arrogant, depressed, manipulative, hollywood big shot with a huge ego. I don't see how any of that is like Joey.

LeBlanc is playing a parody of himself; 50% Joey typecast and 50% 'if Heat magazine reflected reality'.

It goes beyond face and vocal cords. There are loads of little mannerisms that are either forcably being put into the performance or are actually him.

Haven't listened to radio 1 for years, when I got a DAB radio I switched to 6music and never looked back. Consequently I have no idea what is happening chartwise now, I'm stuck in a comfortable alternative music bubble insulated from the top 40.

Dunno if this is what you're looking for but one of my mates does dubstep stuff and he just sent me this facebook group invite (literally 45 minutes ago) about some podcast thing he's doing with a lot of different dubstep artists and whatnot.

http://www.facebook.com/!/home.php?sk=group_183171788371293&ap=1

I've got sweet gently caress all idea about how facebook, groups and podcasts work (well i know how podcasts work, but i don't know how it all synchs up with that facebook group thing), but he's not just some dude who kickss about in his garage as he's done some DJing stuff and has his tracks played on XFM? or something.

What kind of primitive still uses a CD player? Guffaw i say to you, guffaw!

In all seriousness though, i think it's high time shops adopted a digital distribution system where you can pop in and buy an MP3 right there in the store and have it transfered to whatever device you've got on you (or a link emailed to you at home where you can then click and download it or something along those lines).
