This Week: * MUSIC GENRE - Hambient House * VIDEO - Cyriak vs Sparks * PIXELS - Star Wars in 250k ------------------------------------------------- ________ ____ __ ___ ____/ _)|_ // /_/ _ | "We're loving the ___/ _ |/_ > Introducing: Hambient House << Your editor Rob Mannuel writes, "I decided to create my own music genre 'Hambient House' where I mix old TV adverts for pork products with chilled soundscapes. I apologise if this is too sexy for work." What next? Pig Beat? Records with (wait for it) real scratching(s)? https://www.youtube.com/watch >> Cyriak does video for Sparks << B3tan diasporan Cyriaks has made a video for Sparks' The Existential Threat. It's everything you'd expect it to be. http://b3ta.com/links/1543490 >> Star Wars in pixels << David J Court writes, "My pixelmashes from back in 2008 seem to have been rediscovered again by a few, so I've stuck them all together on my blog. Fancy seeing shoddy 8 bit animated GIFs of all the films you've loved? It's your lucky day!" https://davidjcourt.co.uk/post/the-pixelmash-colle... ------------------------------------------------- White bread is just pasta with bubbles. Change our mind. ------------------------------------------------- : SITES IN BRIEF Flat, slow, clicky video * THIS HORSE DOES NOT EXIST - AI-image-generator, but for horses...which are clearly harder to do. https://thishorsedoesnotexist.com/ * PUNHUB - a simple idea, well executed. Just pun gags pasted on stockphotos. https://twitter.com/PunHubOnline * RISE AND FALL OF FLASH - good long read on the technology we once loved. There's been nothing to replace it. The joy of being able to bash out a shit game idea in an afternoon and reaching a million people. Best high in the world. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/202... * MUSIC GAME - wish they'd make a version of this in the style of Daley Thompson's decathlon, in which you must play Chopsticks as fast as possible by whacking at your keyboard. https://touchpianist.com * 'I HAVE EATEN THE PLUMS THAT WERE IN THE ICEBOX' GAME - indie games are better than big budget games, partly because they can go as weirdly niche as this. https://weecalrobot.itch.io/gottaeattheplums * SEND EMAILS STRAIGHT TO SPAM - Someone has made one of the ideas from Nathan for You. As with lots of his ideas, it probably would actually work. https://straight2spam.com ------------------------------------------------- We've done the mortality maths on this and if an equivalent of Johnny Cash released Hurt today - a 70 y/o man recording a 7 y/o song - it would be like Peter Gabriel doing an acoustic cover of Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines. ------------------------------------------------- : FESSHOLE Your anonymous confessions, fessed up for lols * STAR TREK - "My wife wanted me to pick some 'rousing music' for the background whilst we were signing our wedding certificate at the church , so I picked the theme tune to Star Trek voyager. To this day 15 yrs I have to keep her away from repeats so she doesn't discover it" * BANANAS - "Every morning I bring my wife coffee and a banana whilst she is in bed. I regularly hide the banana in my pants so she has to dig for it. Been doing it for years and it still makes me giggle like a 14 year old boy. I am a 56 year old man." * STUMPS - "A few years ago, my partners Aunt had one of her legs amputated to stop an infection spreading. After the operation we FaceTimed her and I said 'I can't wait to see you once you're back on your feet'. It still keeps me up at night." Join the 79,000 heartless shits that have followed this sociopathic junk. Link goes to the highest faved stuff of June. https://twitter.com/fesshole/status/12811357116856... ------------------------------------------------- Just scrolled past some photos of the Beatles and they hadn't been made into ladies by an app, and it was weird. ------------------------------------------------- : IMAGE CHALLENGE New faces for art Here's the best images from last week: * VEGETABLE RIGHTS & PEACE - Octo http://b3ta.com/board/11317777 * CHANGING THE FACE OF ART - Ninj http://b3ta.com/board/11318005 * MADONNA AND CHUCKLE - (a)lexistwit http://b3ta.com/board/11317764 * See all the other images from the 'New faces for art' challenge: http://b3ta.com/challenge/newfacesforart/popular >> This week: TV Dinners << Turn TV shows into food and vice versa: Dr Whoumous, S*M*A*S*H, Magnum PIE, etc. http://b3ta.com/challenge/tvdinners/popular ------------------------------------------------- If there's any hippy genetic engineers reading this: you could change the world to a better place by making a marijuana weed that grows in the UK like nettles. ------------------------------------------------- : PATREON THANKS We love all these people *HEBTROCO* *JAMES O'BRIEN* *KATE* *MARK MCCREADIE* *MR PHIL DONNELLY* *SHOWRAT* *SIMON JAMES* *STOOBERT* 24-7 DEATH, ALAN CHARLTON, ALISTAIR, BRIAN EELES, CHRIS BLAKENEY, CHRIS CARLINE, CHRIS LOCKE, CRISS MORENO, IAN SHEEN, JAIMIE VANDENBERGH, MARK ADAMSON, RICHARD BARCLAY, SPAZZCAPTAIN, WENDY GOODE, NAT KING COLESLAW, ALBERT MARSHMALLOW, DANIEL MUDFORD, CARL DENCH Ed Zitron, Eugenie vT, Tom Dolan, Tom Wright, lee burnett, Richard Matthias, @mattdawhit, Adam Atack, Adam Cooney, Adam Lloyd, Adrian Woodfield, Al Davidson, Albion Gray, Andy Storrar, Andy Tillett, Andy Webber, Anna, Anne-Marie Scott, Ben Watson, Bertram Wooster, blossomshed, Carl Morgan, Catherine McAllister, Chris Evans, Chris Shaw, Craig Tonks, Damien Smith, Dan Stott, Daniel Brown, Dave Nattriss, Dave Tickle, David Ault, David Catley, David Gardiner, David King, David Mills, Derek Law, Dominic Haigh, Emma Lay, Eric von Borstel, Faith H.
