DJ DEREK.

DJ Derek is a Bristol based DJ who plays a mixture of Reggae, Ska and soul music in his sets. His choice of music and sets has made him 'an icon for many in the industry'. I've seen him perform quite a few times and he always puts on a good show, especially when he talks about life lessons between songs in his Jamaican accent. I highly recommend seeing him if he's on anywhere near you. Oh by the way, he's 66. True.

Bestival Messtival Blesstival!

I went to Bestival. It was the Best Festival. And although it was so wet and so muddy, it didn't matter, cause the music and the atmosphere was amazing. There were also so many great fancy dress costumes that you can't help but have fun. I went as an 80s Gym instructor (see above).
I love the designs of everything scattered around Bestival, like a Piano for people to play on, or the pink 'I LOVE BESTIVAL' sign which everyone perches on. I highly recomend going next year.

Tesco Compare.

I've been searching for the Tesco Compare advert with Paul Daniels, but I can't find it anywhere. However I did come across this other little video of him doing a magic trick on the set of filming the advert. It is a little advert in itself. Very nice. True.

Lynx Dry Vibes.

I'm sure you've all seen the most recent Lynx Dry advert with the crazy eyes. I love it. Cracks me up. It got me trying to remember what other ones they've used for the product. So I looked it up and came across these two gems which also amuse me. You'll probably remember them.





And the new gammy eyes one:

Orange RockCorps.

Orange RockCorps is a organisation which gets people to do four hours of community service to earn a ticket for a great gig, such as the recent one due to take place at Albert Hall with Busta Rhymes (pending the judges decision), Ludacris, The Automatic, Guillemots, Lethal Bizzle, John Legend and Feeder.

It's a great idea and has already been highly successful across USA, and the advert's not bad either.
However, there is one part of the advert which isn't the best; when the girls say their names at the end. Mainly Cassie Cassidy. What a name! Unfortunately that just makes me crack up everytime I see it. Look out for it at the end of the advert. Sorry Cassie Cassidy!

RedBullRingPull.

During a recent 'Hangover day' I purchased a can of Red Bull to nurse it better and give me energy to go out again that night. And upon downing the last few drops of it I noticed the ring pull looked different to normal. Where there is usually just an oval shaped hole, there was instead an outline of a bull (their logo). I'm not sure how long it's been like this for, but I think it's a nice little touch. Check it below.

Cajun Dance Party - Colourful life

Cajun Dance Party are a 5 piece band from my area, and they've got a new single called 'Colourful Life' which came out in July. But I've only just seen the video for it. It's simple in a rather poetic way. Have a look.
