Rhythmatism - by Cheryl J

Most disgusting headline ever. Making fun of Travis Barker.

In a case of the poorest taste shown in "journalism", and I use the word loosely here, the New York Post posted the following headline in an article about Travis Barker, the Blink 182 drummer critically injured in a plane crash on 20 September.



Barker was released from the Atlanta burn center at the weekend. The "story" they were covering was to say that a rep for his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, confirmed they're driving to Los Angeles in a tour bus provided by Barker's band, Blink 182.


I'm all for puns in their proper place but this is nothing short of disgusting. Not only did Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein suffer serious burns, four others lost their lives. How anyone could think it's an appropriate thing to joke about is beyond me.

For those not familiar with Barker's talent, take a look at these...

Breathe Me - Sia

Breathe Me by Sia is a song you have probably heard snippets of lately in the Olympic Games advertising. You may recognise it as the song that played out the final minutes of the series Six Feet Under in the beautifully moving finale.

It is also one of my all time favourite songs. It is achingly beautiful

Gnarls Barclay videos for Crazy and Run

Crazy is the first ever single to top the UK singles chart purely on download sales as it was released online a week before it was released as a CD single.

The filmclip is a personal favourite. A clever animation of the creators portrayed in Rorschach inkblot style. It's innovative and matches the funkiness of the song perfectly

Directed by Matt Cullen of production company Motion Theory who came up with the idea only a few weeks ago and shot it in early May. "For people who aren't on the internet, this is like a web CliffsNotes to getting into internet culture," he told technology website Wired
