The Rocketeer Tribute Film

This film has been created as a tribute to Dave Stevens Rocketeer character originally published by Comico back in 1982. I loved those comics and Dave's artwork was simply beautiful. This film captures the fun aspect of the character with a different art style but I'd love to see a full length version based on this teaser.

Best Song of 2011 - PARTY POM POM

Adam Buxton of Adam and Joe fame has created the best song of 2011 -

Adam_Buxton_Party_Pom_Pom.mp3 Listen on Posterous

The song was inspired by this conversation Adam and Joe had a few years ago -

Thanks to Chris Bowles for the fantastic animation.

Anyway here are the lyrics if you need them to sing along - 

My friend
Frederick said come round I said yes.
We can play a bit of Wii, we can play DS
We can play Super Mario Galaxy 2
But I tell you right now that I’m better than you
 
I know this is your house, where you live with Mum & Dad
I know you want to win, and that is very sad cos
I got the tricks bruv , I got the skill
I been training pretty hard and I’m ready to kill
 
I’m a cold blooded plumber, I’m a nunchuck king
When you begin to lose then I begin to sing
And here is the thing, the thing that I sing
Can you feel the sting from the thing that I sing?
 
CHORUS
Would you like to come to a party Pom Pom?
Would you like to be my guest?
It’s gonna be a poo poo party Pom Pom
A poo poo party’s the best
 
You don’t need to bring no presents
There ain’t gonna be no cake
Just bring the Wii and you’d better guarantee 
That you don’t make no mistake
 
Are you gonna come to my party Pom Pom?
Are you gonna be my guest?
It’s gonna be a poo poo party Pom Pom
A poo poo party’s the best!
 
VERSE 2
How are you enjoying all the humiliation?
Would you like some more on your Daddy’s Playstation?
Hold up a second cos your Mummy’s coming in, 
Save the level and wait for the speech to begin:
 
What you doing inside? It’s a nice day out
Go and get the football. Have a kick about.
Nice bit a exercise, that’s what you need
Or go and get book and have a lickle read
 
Why you gotta sit there playing that machine?
Staring at a plumber on a flickering screen
That’s not real life, that’s just nonsense
No wonder all the children now are turning out so dense
 
CHORUS
We’re in the middle of a party Pom Pom
Don’t stop the party now
Freddy’s getting covered in poo poo pom pom
A little bit of poo poo anyhow
 
We’re learning all about plumbers
We’re learning all about stars
We rescuing a princess in distress
Using physical and mental powers
 
Come along and join in the party pom pom
Give all your worries a rest
It’s gonna be a poo poo party pom pom
A poo poo party’s the best
 
Are you going to come to the party Pom Pom?
Did you get the special invitation?
It’s gonna be a poo poo party Pom Pom
We’re celebrating your annihilation!

Walk - A Typical Day

Looks like Dave Grohl and I have more in common than I thought.

Great new video for the Foo Fighters new single 'Walk' - it's days like this that are responsible for my usual tweets and Facebook updates - just with added public transport.
