Facebook Archaeology

I like facebook - but i dont like it to that extent that i check it every day.. In fact , the last time i used it was about 6 months ago. I guess i just got bored of it.

I logged in again for the first time in 6 months this evening and theres a huge pot pourri of old friends and cousins sending me friend messages... awesome. And some of the old friends and relatives I haven't met for years.


Well, its more of an impact if you dont log in for 6 months. Having that sort of collection of long lost friends and relatives in a neat facebook message queue is kind of awesome.

Next time, i think i'll take a break for a year and then pop in. 1st of December 2009 next time?

Empire of the Sun

Caught this video on a recent episode of Epic Fu



via Epic Fu:

Empire of the Sun is the new collaboration between Australian musicians Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore. Steele is the vocalist/guitarist for the band The Sleepy Jackson and Littlemore is part of the electro duo Pnau. Walking On A Dream is the first single from their forthcoming as-yet-untitled album. Not a TON of info out there about the group, but The Inspiration Room has a good write-up.

Sebastien Tellier - "Divine"

France this year, bit the bullet, and actually entered a decent tune into the Eurovision song contest - Sebastien Tellier's "Divine", which is produced by one half of Daft Punk.
In any case, the Eastern European countries all voted for each other, which resulted in some instantly forgettable Russian entry winning.


Anyway, here's the video:
