I’d sworn to myself that I’d get round to seeing Mr. Scruff; DJ, artist and all round leg-end. Fortunately, last week a friend invited me back once again to Hull to see him at the uni. What a brilliant night. Such a fun DJ! Plenty of people dancing, very early in the night and such great visuals from the VJ as well. Lots of fluffy animals. Lots of pie. He drew everyone into it with some of his classic tunes, a drop of tweeness, a bit of a Rooty-toot Manuva, some more bass and then British geek-anthem, Ug. Go to a party where Mr. Scruff is playing. It will make you very, very happy.

(p.s. big thanks to Jon for basically driving me and my kit round all weekend)

The answer, quite blatantly, is yes. Stephen Colbert is the Greatest Living American. This has absolutely nothing to do with his current attempt at a bit of Google bombing, it’s just a statement of fact that occasionally needs stating now and again. I know I’ve written about Mr. Colbert before, but I’ve been paying even more attention to his shows recently and he’s really making sense of the world. He just won’t shy away from real controversial viewpoints like some of those cowardly lefty pundits; take Anne Coulter for example. His truthiness knows no bounds.

So we pray that, like an eagle soaring through the sky in the bright mid-day sun, Colbert continues to fly high over us all.

The guy everyone loves to hate; Bill ‘Papa Bear’ O’Reilly finally gets shouted down big-time. On his own show. By fellow sensationalist Fox ‘news’ muppet Geraldo Rivera. Great to see it when their own kind viciously turn on each other. Beats anything Attenborough has ever shown on television anyway. Still, in this case Geraldo easily has complete moral supremacy.

More of this sort of thing, please! [oliverwillis.com]
