| Video: Snowball the dancing parrot Posted: 01 May 2009 03:18 PM PDT Here's some Friday afternoon fun: there's a story circulating the web at the moment featuring footage of this cool parrot called Snowball, a sulphur-crested cockatoo, who is able to dance in near perfect rhythm to music. As you can see in this video, he's able to bob his head and tap his feet in time to Stevie Nicks' 'Edge of Seventeen' (he also has a mean routine for Backstreet Boys).

| Zodiac Cartel does radio interview, sort of Posted: 01 May 2009 10:05 AM PDT Mysterious electro house producer Zodiac Cartel is taking extreme measures to keep his identity a secret. Appearing on Clubfoot radio in Nottingham, England, recently, the producer who is quickly becoming one of the most talked about artists in electro house thanks to his killer tracks, used a voice changer for the interview - the kind of voice changer that kidnappers might use when demanding a ransom over the phone. When asked by the interviewer if he will ever reveal himself, ZC replied, "This is something that I have searched the very recesses of my soul to find an answer to, it keeps me awake at night like a small rodent gnawing on the bones of a goat repeatedly right next to my pillow." Hilarious stuff! Listen to the full interview after the jump! |
