MySpace Trawl – Stuff We Liked From 2008 Before we delve head-on in to 2009 and bring you such weird and wonderful sounds as Mexican two-step, we thought we’d chew over some of the artists we covered in 2008. You know, so they don’t get all dusty in our archives. This feature tries to bring a mix of completely brand new and unheard acts alongside those who need a bit of a push to get your attention. If we wanted to harp on about someone who's released 50 CDRs and played one gig in Crewe, we’d write for some trendy sort of fanzine with a readership of twelve. Try to contain your excitement as we give our top ten list of last year.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: The Exploding Whale of 1970 (With Video) Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, myths, ancient artifacts, religion, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. Quick! Name three things that are better than an exploding whale! Can't think of anything? That's because - and we mean this literally - nothing is better than one of those big fat air-fish going boom. Imploding tigers would be better, but on this point science is still scratching their collective heads. Consider yourselves lucky - because we have whale-video of it right here!

Lindsay Lohan’s Mum: ‘You Will Not See My Daughter’s Vagina!’ Lindsay Lohan's mum, Dina Lohan, has dismissed reports that her daughter will be getting her fanny out for upcoming independent film Florence. The news has no doubt brought a tear to the eye of a million lonely lads who, if Dina is to be believed, will have to make do with what Lindsay has put out for their consumption already – as if that wasn’t enough. But who cares about those wankers? Spare a thought for the producers of the film: you jerk-offs have only lost out on another chance to be titillated - the producers have lost the entire plot to their film!
