Music: Disco 2000 - Nick Cave

Here's a fact about Nick Cave: he wrote a script for a sequel to Gladiator which was rejected by the studio. He also did a cover of Pulp classic Disco 2000 once upon a time, and you can download it below.

Music: Grass - Animal Collective

Something a bit different to help you through the rest of the week... from the 2005 album Feels.

Music: Harry Patch (In Memory Of) - Radiohead

Harry Patch, who died last month, was one of the last survivors of World War I and Radiohead have released a single in his honour which you can listen to below (all of the lyrics are taken from an interview with the man himself). Visit the Radiohead website to get your hands on the download for £1 and help support the Royal British Legion.

Music: This Momentary - Delphic

Single number two from Delphic - they now have their own Wikipedia page, and some of them used to live on Longhurst Lane.

Books: Life Of Pi - Yann Martel

Yann Martel is in the news today, so it seems a good day to recommend his first book, Life Of Pi, which won the Booker prize in 2003. It tells the story of a shipwrecked boy who makes friends with a tiger called Richard Parker, though the whole tale may or may not be an allegory for something else entirely. Martel's next book, if you'd like to know, will feature a donkey and a howling monkey and may or may not be an allegorical re-telling of the Holocaust.

Music: The City Is At Standstill - Liam Frost And The Slowdown Family

With local boy Liam Frost appearing on the NME website today and with news that his second album will be released soon, there's no better time to plug some of his music. As it's really really good. Here's one of the songs from his debut album for you all to enjoy and tell your friends about.

Music: Songs About Time - The Rentals

Matt Sharp used to be in Weezer until he left to form The Rentals. After a few years off, they've returned with four mini albums called Songs About Time - you can stream Chapter One and Chapter Two (above) from their website now.

Music: It Doesn't Have To Be Beautiful - Slow Club

Sheffield songsmiths Slow Club have a new album out this week and this is a song from it. I assume it's a single or something. The NME gave the album 8/10:

Sheffield duo Rebecca Taylor and Charles Watson, aka Slow Club, take the opposite route for their debut album, dishing up a mish-mash of folk, country, skiffle and oh-so-cute indie-pop sounds which are far too delicate to need that nasty masculine bass guitar anyway. It’s an approach which won’t be to everyone’s taste – in fact, there’s a certain type of person who’ll hate it. These people – for argument’s sake we’ll call them ‘idiots’ – will doubtless hurl their favourite four-letter word, ‘twee’, at Slow Club as if it were the cause of all the world’s ills, from climate change to Adam Sandler. As I said, these people are idiots.

Books: The Catcher In The Rye - JD Salinger

Following the news that JD Salinger has blocked the publication of an unofficial sequel (click here for the full story), today seems like a good day to recommend The Catcher In The Rye. Follow Holden Caulfield as he wanders through New York - according to some it's still "the defining work on what it is like to be a teenager".

Links: Rick Dangerous online

Continuing the retro games theme we started a few posts back, Rick Dangerous is an Indiana Jones-style platform game that many of us had fun playing back in the 1980s. Now you can enjoy shooting enemies and collecting treasure again, thanks to the free online version available here. If you're playing the game for the first time, start off by keeping your finger firmly pressed down on the right arrow key to avoid the rolling boulder...

Music: Goddess On A Hiway - Mercury Rev

I never quite understood why they did two videos for this song, but I think I like the fishing trip one best.
