For 24 years, this goal was only seen by those who were at Anfield for the League (then Milk) Cup match against Manchester United. Everyone else could only read about it because the TV crews were on strike.
The story goes that Ron Atkinson, then manager of Manchester United, was the only person who had access to the footage and magnanimously gave the tape to Jan Molby after the game. After all these years, that mythical goal has now found its place in the tubes permanently.
Who would have known RoboCop had a shiny, chrome body when he turned up in Korea through television sets? And who would have known he was into fried chicken?
That’s the official video to the new single, Spiralling, from Keane’s upcoming studio album, Perfect Symmetry. I seriously don’t know what the hell is up with the retro (and honestly quite fugly) 80s Max Headroom-esque graphics. The ‘Ohh’ background vocals sounds like it was sampled from EMF’s Unbelievable and they are even some Zoo TV style video walls somewhere in there. A terrifyingly ugly and obnoxiously derivative video that looks like it was done by my neighbour’s 12 year old who could only afford 3D software from two decades ago.
I sure hope the Firebox.com site accepts international credit cards (update: oh baby, yes they do!) because I am so going to order the remote control K.I.T.T. car as soon as I can. It talks and has that snazzy, retro, swooshing red sensor light in front!
This one’s for the ladies (and the lady-like) – a Walkman Radio Bag from Loop NYC (online store here) which comes with actual speakers! Fire up your preferred music player, stick it into the bag, hook it up to the speaker jack inside the bag and you can start sodcasting.
Priced at US$14 from Karmaloop. Batteries not required. 80s hairstyle is a recommended optional.

My name is and I just learned that the hash sign is also known as an octothorp. It's exactly this kind of unnecessary information works its way into conversations that scares people away from me. Not that I am really complaining though…
