We totally need to start getting more motivated in updating this blog. It's not out New Year resolution but we'll try.

End of Year Polls

It's the end of year and we've decided to keep an end of year poll. A sort of diary of the records, films, books. people, and other serious shit we've been into for the last twelve months.

It's sort of like a diary without anything personal. A record of our year in media if you'd like.

Check back for regular updates on this.

Months Later

Since our songs summer rebellion posts following the London riots we went a bit quiet. We have been concentrating on our weekly residency in London.

We are happy at how it is going. A nice fun crowd of people enjoying the deeper, darker sounds seeping out the Lullabies From Hell soundsystem.

Catch us every Friday as part of the LAS VEGAS WOMENS INSTITUTE at THE HIDEAWAY in London town.

Nena - 99 Red Balloons (Space Monkey The System Sucks Edit)

The final song of rebellion is an edit by our very own Space Monkey.

Recorded live.



The song tells how 99 balloons are flying in the sky, where they are spotted by the military who don’t recognize them as balloons but instead think they are some kind of incoming weapon. They immediately put their troops on red alert and call out jet fighters to intercept which ultimately triggers a nuclear war between the two Cold War adversaries. In the apocalyptic aftermath, the song’s narrator stands in the rubble of the city and finds a single remaining balloon. Thinking of someone, he or she then lets the balloon go.

Songs Of Rebellion

In the month of August Great Britain was struck by widespread civil unrest which culminated in riots, looting and burning cars and buildings.

It was fucking ugly people. The only comfort we had in these dark days was thinking of songs that described the emotive pictures we were watching on the television.

No explanation needed really just watch the videos.

Watch Me Dance - Toddla T + Roots Manuva

We got into ROOTS MANUVA when he brought out his debut album "Brand New Second Hand".

This collaboration with Toddla T is hot. A good sunshine track if we ever got any sunshine.

Time to cash in?

With the release of the new TRANSFORMERS I got thinking .... how much are my apparantly highly rare and collectable Generation One Transformers toys worth.....

As you can see from the top picture a Generation One Optimus Prime, fully boxed/factory sealed - just like my one - is selling for $6299 ... which is a substantial mark up of the prices paid from new!!!

Kerching!!




Unfortunately being a kid, even though I kept Optimus pristine I had to open Ultra Magnus. As you can see from the above picture opening the box harms the value to the tune of a cool $5000 .... but when it's weighing in at over $1000 its still a good mark up!!

These items however are gonna stay with me for a long time yet. I've kept them for over two decades and can only see the prices getting higher and higher the rarer, older and strangely more popular these iconic robots become.

A movie by the director of one of my favorite movies in recent years MOON hits us with another sci-fi thriller...

Again ..... highly recommended!!

Game of Thrones

I went round my friends house the other day and he was going on and on about this. Luckily I had recorded the whole series on my HD box. So I started watching it. I was pleasantly suprised. A bit of a sci-fi feel to one of the story-lines and some memorable characters. highly Recommended!!

"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death... I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come. "
