These are all the dogs I've had. By David

Honey – Deaf and blind by the end and finally put down by a vet. She was an old, honey coloured sheep dog-type-dog. She was there when I was born – well, not there, but we had her…. There’s a really cute picture of me at around three or four asleep in my garden and she’s sitting next to me – protecting me.

Leo – Staff. He was cool. He pulled me in a sleigh once. He was hit by a truck and then died in a bloody mess in our kitchen after somehow running back home from his RTA.

Jet – Jet was fun. He was a cute, black dog. He died after eating slug pellets.

Rusty – Rusty was nuts. He kept running away all the time. Eventually, we didn’t go and pick him up from the pound again.

Sherman – Sherman was a MASSIVE Alsatian that howled like a wolf. He went beserk after my sister shut his tail in the door and he would try and kill her all the time after that. He ‘joined the RAF’ apparently.

Fudge – Fudge was one of those poor, lovely Golden Retrievers. I feel sad when I think of her. She had a bad life. I hope she finally found some peace somewhere. She deserved it.

Amber – Amber and Toffee were brother and sister Dalmatians. They’re gone now too. Hopefully to a better place.

Domino – Dalmation. Not sure what happened to him. I hope he’s OK..

Joanna Newsom soundtracking a Victoria’s Secret ad. WTF?

Here’s hoping for some more indie/lingerie advert hook-ups….

Will Oldham and Wonderbra perhaps? Maybe Sufjan Stevens meets Agent Provocateur? I could go on but I dont know any other lingerie brands.

If you haven’t heard The Whitest Boy Alive’s ‘Rules’ yet then bloody well go and buy a copy now.

In the meantime check out this awesome vintage synth demo from their very own “Mr Synth” Daniel Nentwig

Here’s Duffy drinking the Diet Coke. She has a big sip of it here. She looks happy about it.
Then she starts singing and I dont look happy about it.

Duffy - full can of Diet Coke in her hand - spies someone’s bike.

Why is Duffy wearing half a Superman costume and a rubber jumper? Why has Duffy stolen a bike? Where is Duffy going? What has any of this got to do with Diet Coke?

Oh. She’s going to the supermarket. Maybe she needs some rizlas or something?
