WTF Were They Thinking?!? - “I Want Your Fluids”

March 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment

On Friday I watched this fascinating / hilarious / flat-out weird doco on Objectum Sexuality called ‘I Married The Eiffel Tower’ after Bill Simmons mentioned it on the Carolla podcast. Objectum Sexuals are people who have sexual feelings towards inanimate objects. The full doco was up on YT but I guess the sudden rush of [...]

Song of the Day: ‘For When The Gizmo’s On The Fritz’

March 25th, 2009 · No Comments

Today’s SotD is from Sydney band Richard In Your Mind - it’s called ‘For When The Gizmo’s On The Fritz’ (awesome title):

Very psychadelic, funky clip from a band that is getting lots of love for their new album ‘The Future Prehistoric’.

Nowhere Boy

March 25th, 2009 · 2 Comments

This project’s got me intrigued. ‘Nowhere Boy’, currently in shooting in the UK, is the chronicle of John Lennon’s childhood and the formation of the Quarrymen, his first band with Paul McCartney. It also details his turbulent relationship with his mother and aunt.
There’s definitely more than enough drama and conflict in Lennon’s early years, [...]

Hitler Is Not Happy

March 25th, 2009 · No Comments

I’ve yet to see the well-regarded film ‘Downfall’, but I don’t know if I could take this scene seriously after the amount of Hitler ‘rants’ I’ve since seen on Youtube. Yep, the joke might be wearing thin and the quality of some of the newer ones is pretty sketchy, but there’s still a few that [...]

WTF Were They Thinking?!? - Rubik The Amazing Cube

March 25th, 2009 · No Comments

Seriously, this one should also be titled WTF Was I Thinking?!? I remember actually watching this cartoon in the early 90s. And I never questioned the fact that it was based around the concept of a talking Rubik cube that could make people fly.

I don’t know what sucks the most about this cartoon; the hysterically [...]

New Simpsons Intro

March 20th, 2009 · No Comments

Hey, it’s about time they updated it.

To go with the announcement of a record breaking 19th season and a change to HD, The Simpsons have updated their intro. Love some of the sly new additions, like Mr. Sparkle at the grocery checkout, an appearance by Maggie’s nemesis and the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it pop-ups of some fan [...]

March 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Hey there regular readers - it’s time for another competition at The Daily Mojo. Thanks again to the good people at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, this time we have two copies of ‘Saw V’ to giveaway on DVD.
I dropped out of following the series after the first ‘Saw’, which I thought was an audacious [...]

Song of the Day: ‘Street of Dreams’

March 20th, 2009 · No Comments

Thanks to my buddy Josh for passing this on to me, with the following comment: “Sounds like Axl has been inspired by the Vampire Musical in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’.” Ha! Couldn’t have put it better myself.

And is it just me, or does Axl need a bit more bran in the morning? There’s a part in [...]

Are You Anybody’s Favourite Person?

March 17th, 2009 · No Comments

What a cool little short film based around the premise of asking random people this simple but profound question - love it. I’m a sucker for anything John C. does, the man is a comedic genius (finally saw ‘Walk Hard’ for the first time on the weekend; a classic satire of the musician’s bio-pic).

So, [...]

Song of the Day: ‘Train on Time’

March 17th, 2009 · No Comments

This live clip doesn’t really do the song justice, but I wanted to spread the word on my new favourite band, Brisbane’s Little Scout. I caught them supporting Belles Will Ring on the weekend and loved their melodies and the vocal harmonies of the shared leads Patrick Elliott and Melissa Tickle. Their song, ‘The Well’ [...]
