Episode 23 of the Friends of the Stars podcasts breaks new technological ground, being the first recorded entirely over Skype.
Campbell, Craig & Executive Producer Robson discuss a variety of topics, including Campbell’s brief stint as the Milk Tray Man and his dalliance with a make-up artist called Kindly. The boys then push the boundaries of Voice Over IP technology by trying (and failing) to make beer appear over the internet. There is also a lot of bickering and swearing.

Here’s a fun video we came across. French band Hold Your Horses have borrowed heavily from several classic works of art for their “70 Million” video.

From the marvellous ‘Intercourse With Biscuits’ blog. They say “Absolutely loving this Botswanan guitarist. The technique is really intriguing. Apparently, it’s common there to deliberately ditch two strings.”

Made by the clever folks at GGRP, this cardboard record player would probably destroy your vinyl collection, but it’s rather sweet and, obviously, I want one really bad.

It’s a little know fact, this, but every Renaissance Man since Pongo Waring himself has had a deep appreciation of the action movie genre. Imagine how chuffed we were, then, to receive this link from fellow renaissance man Paul McGhee:
Incidentally, Paul’s blog Gold & Popcorn is a fantastic read.

I love ELO. I think they rule. One of my many half-arsed ambitions for the future of Friends of the Stars is to make a record with Jeff Lynne. That would be awesome. Anyway, some bloke just made a new animation starring the ELO spaceship. Here it is…
Hats off to Jon Bounds for the find
