Dickhead



Porque somos todos cool, pergunto-me sempre sobre a raíz do "alternativo". Pergunto-me sempre sobre o que é isso de tendências. As respostas estão aí, da Estrada de Vilar à 5ª Avenida de Nova Iorque. Trata-se de um hino a todos os Dickheads que nos inspiram. Um caso soberbo de produção poética de um duo de cómicos (quase anónimo) de Londres - The Grand Spectacular. Aposto que são assalariados de uma agência. Este vídeo é mais um sucesso viral do tubo.

Being a Dickhead's Cool
Got on the train from Cambridgeshire
Moved down to an East London flat
Got a moustache and a low cut vest
Some purple leggings
and a sailor tat
Just one gear on my fixie bike
got a plus one here for my gig tonight
I play synth...
We all play synth
20-20 vision just a pair of empty frames
Dressing like a nerd although i never got the grades
I remember when the kids at school would call me names
Now were taking over their estates
woah ho

(chorus)
I love my life as a dickhead
All my friends are dickheads too
come with me lets be dickheads
(havent you heard?)
being a dickhead's cool
being a dickhead's cool
being a dickhead's cool
being a dickhead's cool cool cooooool

Polaroid app on my iphone
taking pictures on London Fields
up on the blog so everyone knows
were having new age fun, with a vintage feel
coolest kids at a warehouse rave
exclusive list look theres my name
I got in...
You couldn't get in

never bought a pack of fags i only roll my own
plugging in my laptop at the starbucks down the road
say i work in media im really on the dole
im the coolest guy you'll ever know
woah ho


(chorus)
I love my life as a dickhead
All my friends are dickheads too
come with me lets be dickheads
(havent you heard?)
being a dickhead's cool
being a dickhead's cool
being a dickhead's cool
being a dickhead's cool cool cooooool

Loafers with no socks
Electropop meets southern hip hop
Indeterminate sexual preference
Something retro on my necklace

Guarda-fato para gadgets!




O site "The Good Flock" é giro, defende o meio ambiente e agita de forma ágil a bandeira da criatividade!

Vendem produtos naturais, handcrafted, nos EUA... Uma inovação! Contudo, ontem questionámos: "Tanto eco statement para produtos que por definição são um dos expoentes da poluição?"

Enviámos mail, precisamente com esta questão. Duas horas depois tínhamos a resposta:

"Hello Pedro,

Thank you for your interest in The Good Flock.

As a company, we are dedicated to making our products using the most environmentally sound practices available to us. We make a variety of products ranging from pencil cases to laptop sleeves using these practices.

We hope that companies in every product category make the pledge to use environmentally sound practices.

The Good Flock"

The Web Is Dead



"Two decades after its birth, the World Wide Web is in decline, as simpler, sleeker services — think apps — are less about the searching and more about the getting."
