Russell Brand just makes me laugh, I don’t think he can help it, and I can’t help laughing along.

He first graced our british screens on MTV, stalking clubbers for the dancefloor chart, then he did some oddball um…. could you call them documentaries..?..  I dunno…  shows for UK Play called Re:Brand.  But like most folk I first saw him as the presenter of Big Brothers Big Mouth (originally EForum) and he instantly became the best part of the whole big brother franchise, and quite often the only reason to carry on watching big brother at all.

To me he’s a traditional great british eccentric, who with a quick wit can turn nothing into everything.

He’s become too big for Big Mouth, and to be frank hasn’t quite found the right TV vehicle since, the closest has been Ponderland where he basically made jokes from random video clips.  Best has been a one-off however, where he toured Jack Caddyshack’s (forgotten his name, he wrote “on the road”) america with his mate Matt Morgon.

The lack of a stable TV formula doesn’t matter however because during his stint on Big Mouth he started a weekly saturday night radio show on BBC 6Music and has been doing it ever since (now on Radio 2 instead).  Its always my highlight of the week, entertainment wise.  There’s also a podcast of it available but i find that it’s so chopped up that it loses its spontaneity.

I also love his cultural references, ranging from old children’s shows (”I’ll get it duckypoos”) to Morrissey (his cat is named after him) and Arrested Development (he’s recently started to pull up his top and declare “take a good look because its the last time you’ll see them!”).

His Autobiography is worth reading too. Thing is he’s now being accused of having too much exposure, but they can piss off ‘cos I can’t get enough of him.  In an ideal world he’d be given a 24 hour station where he can jabber on about any old crap all day and night.

OMG haha, George Michael was in last weeks Veronica Mars, adorable.
Wish I had stuff to say. I love Apple’s new ads, but i bet they don’t show them here, they feel a little too, i dunno, American. Maybe they’ll redo them with British actors, for some reason i can see Bill Bailey as the PC, and that guy from “I’m Alan Partridge”, “The Book Group”, “Teachers”..bit part, and i think I caught him in some period drama…dunno his name. Am I rambling?

Most of my favourite audio composition plugin’s have yet to be mactel-ified. Not to worry, i can wait. Just hope it’s not a never thing.

OMG, now Maybe (sp?) is in the same episode of Veronica Mars. This is weird, I guess all arrested development’s cast’s resume’s have reached UPN. Maibe? Maaiiibe? Oh, its Maeby.

“It’s 22 hours” Haha why have I still go that turned on?

A square while ago, when pins were pins and fur trees were fur trees, I chanced upon an episode of Arrested Development and I didn’t think much of it. It just seemed silly, and not witty silly, just, silly silly. But recently I’ve been hounded by someone to watch it, it got to the point that I couldn’t talk to them with it being brought up. In the end it was either a case of lying and making out i’ve been watching it, or actually watch it. The actually watch it seemed easier as my powers of imagination are quite flawed. So I watched a couple-o-episodes, starting with the pilot and OMG it’s adorable! It’s funny, but not hysterically so, I just find it so… cute! Haha, I dunno if that’s enough to make it a huge recommendation, but heck I dun care. I like it.

And that’s about all I can think of to say today because it’s beeen sloooowwwwwwwwwwwww
