Pink Floyd - Surfacing
Dammit I honestly wanted to hear a Pink Floyd cover of Surfacing (slipknot). This is like hearing Mettalica releasing a song called "Shake it out" - you know it won't be right but you want to hear it anyway.
Brazil drought linked to Amazon deforestation - BBC News
My take on this - stop immigration. A warmer earth means a more inhospitable area around the equator. Yet plant life will flourish in the more temperate zones - we're already seeing that with plants growing faster for longer of the year.
The crucial point of this is that if plants/forests are allowed to thrive in the current temperate zones whilst the earth population declines the planet will recover.
If we actively chop down the new plant-life to build homes for the people who's homes are becoming inhospitable we'll turn the planet into a dustball.

The Joy of the Guitar Riff
Nice watch but very pop centric. SO many huge riffs never even got a mention. Case in point:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBetudbtRto
My first real introduction to metal when they charts were full of Abba and Boney M.
It's seems weird this is a BBC documentary yet you're as likely to hear of Iron Maiden's achievement's as you to hear of The Prodigy.
Story of the discussion of the riff? They jump from Nivarna (1991) to 7 nation army (2003). But somehow they missed the fact The Prodigy went from a underground dance ground to a rock festival headliner on the basis of this riff back in '95: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l62UTsRQ6qY
Yes "walk this way" was a rap/rock crossover - but this is afaik the first proper metal/underground dance mashup. I honestly hate the fact The Prodigy never get the credit they deserve for bringing so much.
Final point - this UK documentary goes from Nivarna to White Stripes and ignores:

Why British Homes Don't Have Mix-Type Faucets
I'm British - got mixer taps on my bath and my kitchen sink. What you talking about BITCH???
Slightly more sensibly - my 66 year old dad has mixer taps on both floors of his house and my wife's 74 year old mum has mixers on both levels too.
Dunno where his getting this shite but mixer taps have never been uncommon whilst I was growing up.

Mock the Week - What The Queen Didn't Say
From everything I've read he didn't get fired - he just left. I think he was always too extreme for a prime time BBC quiz as was highlighted by the reactions of his fellow comedians to his jokes.
I'm damn sure he has far more material cut than left in and that must get frustrating for anybody.
It's a pity though because judging on what his produced post-MTW he seems to be far better at fighting what's expected of a panellist than being a star in his own right.
What a crappy joke to lose your job over. He's a lot funnier than that, and i think he's said far worse things both in general and about the queen. I don't personally know Dara or anyone, but part of me thinks that they would have lent their artistic support to him had it been solely about that joke. Many of them are still doing it now and they seem like a tight knit bunch, and they all loved Frankie and he kept their popularity up.
John Cleese on Stupidity
How can I show this to my neighbours and make them understand it?Timeline of this weekend - we saw some of them dressed to the nines getting into a stretched limo on Friday.
On Saturday they (as normally) loudly discussed how the person they saw could have performed for 5 more minutes whilst simultaneously stating how this performer had proven Michael Jackson's saintliness because said MJ had stayed with the performer for 4 days.
It's worth noting at this point all we knew was they went out somewhere in a stretched limo and saw someone who had MJ to visit for 4 days.
On the Sunday the normal loud talking over our fence lead to the discovery that not only did my neighbors take a stretched limo to arrive at a Michael Flatley concert. They couldn't recall the name of the long haired blonde peado with a cigar (it was Jimmy Saville - most prolific sexual predator in history) or as they roundly called him "that Australian dude" (Rolf Harris - more cherished, like painted the queens portrait, but still sent down for being a peed).
So the outcome of this is my neighbors who have a very small 4 bed house (would be 3 except they opened the loft), own 9 cars, have a 32, 26 and 18 year old still living at home. They hire a stretched limo so they go an see Michael Flatley perform live then come home and discuss loudly how Michael Jackson was obviously a good person because he stayed with Michael Flatley. Shortly afterwards they then totally struggled to remember the names of the biggest sex offender ever known in the uk and the most treasured letdown of all time.
This is almost par with them discussing a new flavor of chips/crisps for 45 min or that time 4 of them tried to count the same amount of change for >20 mins and none of them could agree the same amount.
Sorry had to rant - I'd love to confront them over the noise/cars/stupidity etc but I'm a mildly tough 40 year old. Their highly violent and the 26 year is a goddamn cagefighter.
I honestly can't vent enough - literally I could write a novel on how much my neighbors suck. Just as a final point to carry things across - I recently needed to cut back some ivy in my backgarden. During the hour this took they played Natasha Beddingfield's "These Words" 5 times. Yes I'm a Maggot, Yes I'm a 40 year old who probably needs to stop jumping into moshpits. But Natasha Beddingfield??? 5 times?? Really????
