Northern Soul return to our ads and contactless creditcards get fun

Remember the classic KFC Northern Soul ads form back in 2004? They raised the popularity of the US soul music genre that was big in the 70's in random Northern England social spaces such as bingo halls and casino's. True.

Well VISA have remixed a classic northern soul track. They've made a feel good ad featuring the 'crutchmaster' Bill Shannon an able-bodied conceptual dancer. The dancer isn't gliding along on wheelie shoes and he isnt a stunt man. He is a… Continue

Skittles make your wee glow in the dark

All of PUSA's hits including 'Lump' for a lump sum

I used to hate the Seattle joke band The Presidents of the United States of America or PUSA for short. Their riculous songs including Lump (she's lump, she's lump, she's in my head) and Peaches, a song about peaches, y'know, the fruit.
