DJ Minty Fresh (whoever that is) definitley stayed away from a coupla cheeky tequilas whilst producing this bag of tip-top remixes. Its a free download you can get here. Although being a fan of radiohead (or jay-z) will make you appreciate alot more (which most of you should be), it's still worth a listen. Favorite choon has gotta be 'Dirt off your android'.

It's Thursday but its not 'Thursday'
Cringest/worst post title ever?
Maybe...but the new Asobi Seksu tune is definitely on par with the previous banger 'thursday'....after a few listens anyway. yes/no?

A Big Fat Greek Riot
On the night of Saturday, December 6th, 2 Greek police clashed with a group of yoots. Exactly what happened is still not clear..however the police fired 3 shots, one of which caused the death of 15-year-old Alexander Grigoropoulos (pictured above). The 2 police are currently in jail awaiting trial, the shooter charged with homicide. As you'd probably guess what with the reputation of riots in Europe (exculding pathetic England) this incident sparked a big one. It's unleashed widespread anger throughout Greece towards a number of issues in society. Here's a few epic examples of the grief that's been going on since 2008...

Immoral Advertising?
This is probably a topic you'll keep seeing me add too throughout this blog.
The question popped up at some presentation I was shown at my college. Criticism over adverts has been going on for years, right back from the Dada movement to modern day fashion billboards. But where do you drawn the line? What should be allowed and what shouldn't?
From the mid 80s to the mid 90s, Italian clothing range Benneton and photographer Oliviero Toscani took the shock factor of advertising to a new level. All of these photographs were advertising a clothing range, from glamorising prisoners on death row to showing the effect AID's victims have on their families members. Whether it's immoral in your eyes or not, the plan worked. By 1994 Benneton were the 3rd most recognised company logo in the world. Oliviero Toscani was later sacked from Benneton, and refused work from most companies. His work is fucking intelligent, and he's definitely a big inspiration for anyone who lacks ignorance.
Unfortunatley alot of the advertisments are so graphic, they're really hard to find on the internet, but I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find em. But here's some I didnt manage to find. Just imagine these on huge billboards across the world..
