Top Gear of the Pops.

We’ve got Red Nose Day in Australia, and we even have some form of Comic Relief, but I’m absolutely struck with the intensity in which the whole campaign seems to over take the United Kingdom. This year alone they’ve raised over £40,000,000 and still taking your donations.

Among all the other TV specials they ran to motivate you to donate, the one that caught my eye was Top Gear of the Pops, which combined the now canned formats of Top of the Pops with everyones favourite car show Top Gear, all in the name of charity.. aww.

More of Dead Ringers’ take on the idents of the United Kingdom. The first video is actually Dead Ringers own creation of a BBC One ident, and not just a voice over like usual (I tried to think of some BBC One/Number 2 joke but you get the idea).

Check out last weeks here.

Not content with just mocking the idents, Dead Ringers went a step further and deconstructed the new BBC Two idents as part of special investigation parodying the current affairs show Panorama.

The Chaser also took a jab at the new ABC idents here.

As I’ve mentioned before it was literally an episode of Dead Ringers that first introduced me to the BBC One idents, so its probably that hilarious show I have to thank for even starting this site.

Series seven of the show started last week in the UK, and above is the parodied idents from the first episode.

It’s not an ident, but it is my birthday. Part 2.

It seems like only a year ago today I was turning 21… now as a 22 year old facing his first birthday on a (full time) work day I’m so thankful I like the people I spend eight hours a day with.

In keeping with the tradition I started last year, here is the latest Sony Bravia advertisement. And, while this one is a hell of a lot more dramatic then ‘bouncing balls’ I think there’s something about the use of Heartbeats that will keep last year’s ad my favourite.

Here’s hoping they’ve made another one by the time I turn 23 (or I finally give up on this blog, whatever comes first).

The adventures of Augie March.

> Download in Quicktime H264 (40.5mb) or iPod Compatible (10.5mb)

Never has a song I voted for in Triple J’s hottest 100 come in at number one. The highest was number four. So you can imagine my excitement when Friday morning last week, listening to a stream of the countdown from Paris I heard that the phenomenal One Crowded Hour by Augie March took out the top position in the most voted public song poll in the world. Enjoy!

Apple announced the iPhone early yesterday morning Australian time, and like every other Mac toting 21-year-old I obviously want one. The only problem is it won’t be released here until 2008.

That didn’t stop SBS, Seven, Ten and Nine all covering the story in their evening bulletins (what, too good to plug an unreleased product ABC?). I’m unashamedly an Apple fan (heck I own shares), but I just can’t think of another company that makes this big of a positive splash (see videos) a year out from release.

Jesus Christ, help us all Lord.

Last night on Channel 7 an interesting audio screw up occurred which resulted in in the line “Jesus Christ, help us all Lord” being repeated over and over again during the documentary ‘Mayday’.

Initially it was thought the audio was from within the doco and someone looped, however it since came out that the audio is actually from footage of an convoy in Iraq thats been on YouTube since September. Footage of the audio screw up and the footage from Iraq is after the jump.

Maxine quits. Nation loses kickass broadcaster.

I’m not sure when I first got into Lateline, but I do remember it having something to do with Maxine McKew really putting Christopher Pyne in his place during one of the Friday night forums a few years ago.

Since then she has grown on me as an intelligent and honest journalist, a brilliant interviewer and engaging broadcaster. Tony Jones’ send off last night looked back at her amazing body of work and in his own words her ability to conduct “some of the best interviews ever done on Australian television”.

All this of course, in stark contrast to last Friday’s other farewell.

Naomi quits. Nation briefly more intelligent.

Naomi Robson’s five minute farewell certainly was a tear jerker (for her at least), and the cavalcade of well wisher was certainly impressive.. Kerry Stokes, and um, Steve Vizard.

Kochie and Mel’s invite to drop by Sunrise reminded me how rarely we saw Naomi outside of TT’s studio cocoon, and may be the reason that its so laughable that someone as unrelatable and insular as Robson thinks she can be Australia’s Oprah.

In summary: Fuck the autocue, I need to save a child you dummies!
