Bravo Adult Swim Daily News Blog competition

Bravo.co.uk ran a competition in early 2007 to write an entry for their delightfully silly Adult Swim news blog. First prize was a trip to New York City, so I entered. I didn’t win, but many folk on the forum thought I should have (I think I should have as well).

Anyway, I won a box full of tat from the Bravo offices, and I’m sure you’ll agree that, in a way, a “Bendy Bully” Bullseye figure is better than a trip to the best city in the world.

I can’t link to the article, but I reproduce it over the page for your reading pleasure. Read the rest of this entry »

Crumbs For Men

I wrote music reviews for a few months for a men’s lifestyle site called Crumbs For Men. Sadly I can’t link directly to the articles because of the way the site is designed. But if you click here; then click on “Music”; then click on “Archive”; then scroll down carefully using your arrow key; and then whisper my name three times into a mirror, you’ll be able to read what I wrote. They were the bits marked:

Mika – “Life In Cartoon Motion”

De La Soul

The Shins

Kaiser Chiefs

Arctic Monkeys

Fall Out Boy

LCD Soundsystem

Hotels By City.net

I wrote one whole article for hotelsbycity.net’s London blog. It’s about the London Eye, and has a lovely comment at the end by someone who isn’t even my friend. You can read it here.
