Springbok Nudies, Splashy, Smith, Snarfer, Spread The Love

Clicking through my RSS feeds this evening I came across this interesting discussion at The Chiz over the forthcoming Springbok Nude Girls album, "Peace Breaker". I'm on the fence trying to make up my mind how I feel about them reuniting yet again but it will surely be interesting, if the cover art is anything to go by! Some creative interpretations on that in the post, too.

So maybe I'll spare the 60 bucks cover and catch their launch at Mercury next month.

The confirmed line-up for Splashy in April currently includes The Parlotones, Bed On Bricks, Sitter, Chris Chameleon, Rory Eliot, Lark, Jack Hammer, The Hellphones, Taxi Violence. Oh and not forgetting Shy Guevaras and The Kiff, who I've listed just for their names alone. I've always spelt it 'kief'... must be a Durbs thing.

Tickets are on sale at Game Stores throughout KZN for a discounted price - ok yeah, that's nice, but how about next time inviting the other provinces to the party?

This just in: Anna Nicole Smith is dead. It's probably still too early for a joke.

UPDATE: Gawker have posted an obituary and some of the comments are... hilarious.

I also wanted to mention above that I'm using Snarfer for reading feeds, apposed to Thunderbird (which incidentally now runs 100x faster since I removed all my feeds). Great app - does what it should well, and better than most others I've tried.

And I have to wonder *blink*, did the Nudies draw inspiration for their latest website design from the Snarfer character?

Lastly, a quick update on Spread The Love. While News24.com think they can pull a fast one, I'm aiming to have the new system and fresh cards up sometime over the weekend. Still only 3 simple steps if you include clicking the "send" button. ;)

Thanks so far to everyone that has contributed - if you have anything to add please let me know asap. Muchos gracias.
