Darren Hayman presents 'The Shit Piano'
Legendary.
We never do the ideas we have in pubs. In pubs we go, ‘That’s a great idea!’ in the morning we go, ‘Hmm not so great’. But what if the ideas we have in pubs are the best?
I had an idea to re-record my album ‘The Ship’s Piano’ in a day on casios and call it the Shit Piano. Although on the surface it’s an idea based on a pun I was thinking about the tradition of remixes and the earlier tradition of Dub versions of albums.
I tried to use the limitation of the Casios to find new and interesting readings of the songs. The album definitely isn’t ‘shit’ on purpose.”

Did you miss out on Battlestar Galactica? Do you dream of watching all of the show’s drama, thrills, and frustrating scenes condensed into a four-minute piss take on 16-bit roleplaying games? College Humor has answered your prayers to the Lords of Kobol with this clever video.

Roderick on the Line
A weekly call between Merlin Mann and John Roderick of the Long Winters. Irreverent doesn’t even come close. Definitely my favourite podcast at the moment.
The excellent Darren Jackson. Sounding a lot more like Low here than he usually does. Incidentally I first discovered Kid Dakota when they were on tour supporting Low.
Wonderful.
“Dedication, Discipline, Desire”
It’s true.
You need all three to become a professional sports alcoholic.
