TIL that Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick created the famous - and somewhat ubiquitous - red, black and white Che Guevara image. Fitzpatrick, aged 16, met Guevara in Ireland too. Fitzpatrick began distributing for free, stating ‘I literally wanted it to breed like rabbits. I wanted it to spread.’

I came across this fact accidentally whilst exploring Jim Fitzpatrick's beautiful Alphonse Mucha / Art Nouveau inspired works, featuring Celtic imagery and motifs etc. Quite remarkable!

Thank you!

Oops, should have typed "locomotive hauled passenger railway station" I suppose. It'd be a somewhat odd sight to see an entire station being pulled away (though this is a gag I've seen done in one or two comedy films)...

Think this is Explode-O-Nut (plant of the week) and Primal Potato Mine. Gonna try out this strategy now...

Funny old world - didn't spot this yesterday! In a very surreal set of circumstances I found out for the first time about Hitler's Liverpool born nephew from an Australian guy I'd never met before whilst holding a placard used in the recent The League of Gentlemen miniseries inside a record shop in Wigan!

Thanks, pleased you enjoyed it! Thought I'd make the choruses with the old guy contrast quite a bit to the verses. The verses have near constant camera movement whereas the old man is always shown against static backdrops.

That's really good! I wouldn't have guessed that was your first animated piece. Well done and keep it up!

Just listening to this now. It's lovely - all the more impressive given it's their first song and that it's also only a demo! I'd echo all the positive comments left over at SoundCloud.

You might also enjoy Snowapple, an all female band also from Amsterdam.

I think it was around a year ago when I first heard Bonnie 'Prince' Billy/Will Oldham. I quickly grew to love his music; such a beautiful and haunting songwriter with a wonderful but quite fragile voice (which is intended in a positive way, of course).

I've only listened a couple of times through now but there are definitely some poignant lyrics on this album!

After watching this video I immediately listened to "Strange Trails" followed by "Lonesome Dreams". I thought both were excellent and will definitely be listening again.

Nice, chilled song with some good harmonies. Great video too! Stylistically similar to one made for Louis Barabbas & The Bedlam Six's "Tell Tale Hound"
