Something to brighten up your dull Tuesday morning... Welsh boyos Ant and Seb do themselves proud at auditions for X Factor 2008. Somehow we don't think they'll be making it to the live shows...but they've definitely done enough to earn themselves a spot on our blog.

BEACH BREAK LIVE DOCUMENTARY on BBC3 TOMORROW

Beach Break Live is a fab little festy based in Polzeath that celebrated it's second year this summer. Aimed at the lucky breed of human called the Student, Beach Break is a boutique (that means fairly small) festival that takes place in a beautiful clifftop location at Carruan Farm in Polzeath. Taking place in June, this year acts included The Wombats, Mr Scruff, Scratch Perverts, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong and lots more...

Fuelled by an eco-friendly and festival-loving team who set out to take everything they loved about festivals and bring it together in one student-and-environment-friendly event, their search for funds to make their dreams a reality even took them as far as the BBC's Dragons Den, where they managed to impress the panel with their idea, which is no mean feat. Rejecting cash from the Dragons in favour of teaming up with Outgoing Travel, the festival has gone on to be hugely successful and as a result was filmed this year for a BBC3 documentary, which will be aired on BBC3 tomorrow night (19 August) at 9pm. Did you go? Did you wave at the camera?! Then you might be on telly tomorrow night! Fab!

Early Bird tickets are on sale for next year's festival already! For more info, go to:

Super funky Kings Of Leon cover

If you like a bit of funk in your life, you should check out The Bamboos new single, which is an excellent cover of Kings of Leon classic "King Of The Rodeo". Aussie outfit The Bamboos are masters of raw, old school funk breaks and super heavy soul, and this single features silky vocals by emerging talent Megan Washington as well as a very cool video. We are absolutely loving this well produced, well executed cover version (and y'all know the Kings rule).

Blogging, blogging, one two three... Is anyone out there?

So this is the first post on our new blog. Should we have something monumental to blog about? Or should we feast upon the opportunities for randomness and irrelevance that this offers? Actually, stuff that. We're hungry. All this talk of feasts has us salivating for snackage.

Cheerio

(We'll come back later and blog about snacks or something...Can't type on an empty stomach)...
