No Good Boyo

No, not me, cheeky.

This No Good Boyo, by here. Tickles my funny bone to the "stuff comes out of nose" point. As does Mrs Boyo's blog, The Daily Scorch.

While I'm here (you don't mind, do you?), I think you might enjoy Sanddef's selection from the Uncyclopedia entry in the Welsh language, which has the merest whiff of satire about it. I quote:

Similarly, in order to promote the feigned existence of the Welsh language, whenever an Englishman walks into a pub in Wales, the Welsh stop speaking English and make up words instead. To try and appeal to the English speaking masses a new Welsh Dictonary was released in 2006 under the title How To Cheat in Big Brother.

Cripes, blogging in two languages at once! And I haven't even cancelled my Warcraft subscription.

Let's Go!

From Metal Hammer:

Mike Patton has bared the first fruits of his labour with Dan The Automater online.

The versatile duo has been working on the collaboration for some time and this is the first taster of the project that they've called Crudo.

You can here Let's Go on Crudo's MySpace page.

Metallinews

Last night Metallica played a gig at at the Wiltern Theater, Los Angeles as part of the Silverlake Conservatory's annual benefit show, to just 2,000 fans. The Silverlake Conservatory, set up by Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, is a music school for kids. Flea joined the band near the end of their set for a rendition of 'Fight Fire With Fire'. Fan shot Youtube clip:



Meanwhile, legendary Rock photographer Ross Halfin has also spent some time with the band. Photos from the sound check for last night's gig are here.

Finally, the Mission: Metallica website went live on Monday. Not much on it yet, a trailer and a preview which has snippets of some new stuff - which sounds very promising.
