Californication

I love a bit of Foxy Mulder. Well it's not actually Fox Mulder, it is David Duchovny playing Hank Moody, a talented but down and out writer living in LA, a rouge with a heart and a penchant for the booze and the ladies.

There are quite a few naked women and smutty jokes in each episode but as long as you can handle that then you can sit back and enjoy the ride! The writing is really good and the one liners are pretty sharp.

I think he plays the character convincingly. You don't feel as though some alien abduction is about to take place or that Scully will swing by any second to investigate the paranormal activity happening in some women's fake breasts. Although the parties he goes to do seem out of this world!! (wah, wah, wah). He wrote it and starred in it, just like Paul Hogan did with Crocodile Dundee!!!

They are playing the fourth series in the States on HBO right now so it seems to be going down a treat. Watch and enjoy.

Charlie Kaufman

Is the man! I love his screenplay. He stretches your mind's ability to comprehend what the hell is going on.

He's done films such as Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind which featured Kate Winslet and Jim Carey, it's one of the few films where Carey plays a straight role. He can do more than slapstick which is good. The story is really orignial and compelling. I loved it.

He's also done Being John Malkovich, Adaption and Synecdoche, New York; which are all fairly trippy and mind bending films. I suppose they are a bit Alice in Wonderlandesque but for adults. All weird and wonderful. I would lap up anything he wrote. He's a very playful and intriguing playwright.

Steve Hughes

This guy is an Aussie comedian and has a great angle on being gay.

Paul Foot

I went to Soho Theatre on Saturday to watch Paul Foot do some stand up. The dude looked crazy.

His jokes were nice and random. It was directed by Noel Fielding, the king of random so it was suitably nonsensically hilarious.

It started off a bit slow and I wasn't laughing at much of it but then he warmed up and meandered his way through his repertoire. He always started off telling a story, then went off on a complete tangent of bollocks talking only to bring you back neatly to his first point. This is when you'd go 'oh yeah, I forgot why he started talking about that'. It was definitely a (emotional) roller coaster of thoughts, fun but a bit mental.

He did jokes about people being racist and homophobic but in a very non-standard way and took on the persona of a homophobic shire horse! He told everyone that he was gay and was talking about the different levels of homophobia. A on the scale was very homophobic which was punching people for not punching gay people. He said that him trying it on with a straight man and them not enjoying it was also a level of homophobia, ha! Anyway, he was mixing it up and fondling boys in the audience which got some laughs.

He is well worth a watch as I did LMFAO!(laugh my fucking ass off). Always good on a Saturday night.

Radiohead's got a new album

I haven't listened to the whole album yet but I do like the song on their site, 'Lotus Flower'. I think it's going to be a good un. Bring it on!

Tastebuds.fm

Move over My Single Friend and match.com, here comes tastebuds.fm!

So if you love your music and can’t get enough of gigs and live events then you are probably put off by the idea of dating someone with no taste,bad taste or just no interest in music. These people do exist, apparently! Being a music snob myself I would not consider dating someone unless they were seriously into their tunes man!

So this great new site has been born: www.tastebuds.fm. The idea is that you choose people to date because of their music taste. It is linked to your last.fm account so it takes your likes from there but you can delete these if they make you look like a loser and add as many new ones as you like. It also links to facebook so you can choose some pictures for your photo gallery from there and the best thing is - it's free!

You can also add a link to your favourite song on youtube or to a favourite website to show potential dates what you are into.

I think it's a winner and already have 3 dates lined up with people who have great taste in music, get in there!

Justin.tv

I have just discovered something quite exciting. It’s similar to chat roulette in that people can watch you live, however, justin.tv give you your own channel to broadcast from.

You can log into the site and attach a webcam or mobile phone (with a video function, of course) to the software and start broadcasting yourself immediately. During the 20 minutes that I was live I had managed to attract 23 viewers that were IMing me with advice on how to block people and asking where I was from, it was quite overwhelming at first.

If you are not shy,a bit bored and fancy broadcasting something live then it’s quite entertaining. They do have a warning banning lewd and violent behaviour luckily and I was told that your channel is pulled quickly if they detect you breaking the rules. If you can behave yourself however, then your channel will go out to 250 countries live, so if you fancy your chances at stardom then this could be the start of something beautiful! Your sessions are recorded and you can send a link so that people can watch you live or a link to the recording of the session so they can watch it at a later date. It hooks up to facebook, twitter and the usual.

There is an option to make your channel private and to put an access code on it so if you want just your friends to see what your doing then that can be arranged.

On the whole it's a great online find that could potentially be a lot of fun!
