In conjuction with their 2nd album release this week, my song of the week not posted every week is ‘No Sleep Tonight’ by Enter Shikari taken straight off Common Dreads. I have not decided if this is the best song off the album yet to go alongside the album launch but there are plenty of great tracks to make it another great album. Defo one of my fav bands and the best i’ve seen live.

Never really been a big fan of The Prodigy but they’ve been around for ages because they create a brilliant mix of songs. This is their latest release off the upcoming album Invaders Must Die.

Last night I just so happened to be browsng Google Maps and discovered that the UK maps now come with Street View in 25 cities across the UK.  If you thought Google earth was good then you should see this.  I was pleased to see that my hometown, Newcastle upon Tyne is also featured on the map and also includes a lot of the surronding areas around the city centre.  I live in the suburbs so unfortunately/fortunately my house doesn’t appear on the map.  Bad that I can’t be fascinated by seeing my own stuff on the map but good that people can’t snoop and we all love a good snoop.

I was already fascinated by the Street View pictures of Las Vegas Boulevard showing the likes of The Bellagio and all the other big hotels except they were taken at night so the pictures are very poor quality.  As the UK pictures are more recent they seem to be extremely high quality and can be compared to an average digital camera which is simply amazing considering the number of images that are taken.

I couldn’t think of anything interesting to look for locally so I just went for the Grosvenor Casino in Newcastle.  Tried to get The Gate complex but they shut off Newgate Street to the public so the cameras couldn’t get in.

I’m pretty sure this will come in very handy in the future and can think of dozens of different ways you can use it to your advantage like seeing if someone lives in a shit hole before visiting them.  It can also be used on your mobile such as an iPhone or a phone with symbian S60 operating system which could obviously come in very handy.  To have a go at it, just go to the normal Google Maps, search your location and then drag the orange man from the zoom bar onto the map and the Street View enabled roads will show up in blue.  Once you’re in Street View mode and can drive along the roads and rotate etc.  Takes a little while to get used to but before you know it you’ve just lost 2 hours of your life.

This week has to be the amazing multi talented artist that is Alesha Dixon with her new single ‘Breath Slow’.

Well here is a song that i’ve been listening to all week thanks to some linkage from a friend and title apropriately while I am waiting up for my flight to Benalmadena at 4am.

Well i’ve only made one post since my last week so think I need to get some more content in between. It’s been a redidulous fly by week, probs down to the weather or summit. This week’s choice is I Hate This Part by The Pussycat Dolls. Enjoy.

Which one is your favourite?
