Heaven - Unkle



This is a remarkable video made up of re-edits from a Spike Jonze film Fully Flared, and set to one of the pieces of music from the soundtrack, "Heaven" by Unkle. Give it a minute or two - it's explosive stuff.

The Girl Can't Help It

Photobucket





















There are plenty of reasons to watch this again; Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Fats Domino and the Platters; not to mention Jayne Mansfield in the stunning red Lincoln convertible.
It's about how to make a talentless good-looker into a recording star (before Simon Cowell).
Julie London's version of 'Cry Me a River' is compelling.



Simon's Cat



I just discovered Simon's Cat this morning courtesy of the Guardian website.
Everything I ever thought about cats is in this cartoon - I love their curiosity and wickedness, but I'd rather see it in your house than mine.









The whole world of Simon's Cat is available here
