I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

I can’t wait to see the new Darren Aronofsky film Black Swan.
The soundtrack is from regular Aronofsky collaborator Clint Mansell who has used Tchaikovsky’s music as a base for his; which sounds intriguing.
Every time I watch the trailer the hairs on my neck stand on end.
I attended an “industry event” last week. In conversations over coffee I learnt that BT has a social media policy that is 32 pages in length, and written in pure legalese: “the party in the fist part” etc.
Whereas Zappos‘ social media policy is “be real and use your judgement”.
Guess which company is renown for great customer care, and which one isn’t.
The Social Network is the recent film from David Fincher about the founding of Facebook.
Tim Van Damme recommended the soundtrack on Twitter, and at $5 – yes $5 – it seemed a veritable bargain; quick preview confirmed that to be so.
It’s a dark suite of electronica, which having since seen the film doesn’t quite fit at times, but somehow that works for this film – possibly due to the quality of the music in its own right.
I particularly like the version of In The Hall Of The Mountain King which accompanies a tilt-shift view of Henley Regatta in the film.
Highly recommended.
URB have a rather great drum and bass mix from the mighty Underworld available for download. The mix includes a previously unreleased and flippin’ brilliant remix of Bruce Lee.
The supplied cover art is a little dodgy so I thought I’d take a stab myself taking inspiration from Underworld’s previous use of serif typefaces.
Why yes, I do like Underworld.
