Jubilee Line Ticket Barrier Sings Blur's "Song 2"

#WooHoo. I may have mentioned this before, but yesterday had the chance to film this talented barrier at Canary Wharf, and was pleasantly surprised to find it sings almost in key with Damon. It's the 4th barrier from the right as you go down into the tube station, not the 2nd as previously mentioned.

I made this btw.

Thanks to everyone that has shared / tweeted / posted - especially @BlurOfficial for seeing the funny side (please don't take it down, the ad revenue is all yours). I feel under pressure to make a follow up, the difficult second album.

Apple 30th Years Of Innovation

Now there's a headline to get a debate going..

Here's the original 1984 advert. Blimey. 1984 was 30 years ago.

In other news, Samsung's quarterly profits are down for the first time in 2 years.

Noel Gallagher's Director Commentary

It's been posted and shared loads of times, been said to have "gone viral" (really, with only 100k views?) but I want to stick it on this blog as it's a place to save stuff I like. And it's funny.

Definitely Maybe was released 25 years ago this year, and I think if it was released for the first time today, it would have the same impact.

Norway's Northern Lights

Northern lights - never seen them, even though I've been to Norway 6 times. It's a bit like going to Ireland, went 5 times last year, passing through Dublin and didn't see Bono anywhere.

London in 1927 & 2013

A shot by shot comparison of Claude Friese-Greene original short film showing the London of 1927 in colour, alongside footage from last year. Amazing how some bits of Big London haven't changed much at all.
