Whatever your opinion on X-Factor, Simon Cowell, Rage Against The Machine, Chart-rigging and being told what to do, you've gotta admit this is good...

Killing In The Name Of was a good tune when it was released back in 1992 (was it really 17 years ago, now I feel old!) and it's still a great tune, if it means making a stand against manufactured pop now, well, that might not be quite such an important cause as the racism it was originally protesting against, but it's good enough for me!

Remember the guy who did 'Dear Lilly', a video letter to Lily Allen a few months ago, well he's back again.

This time it's Lord Mandelson's latest legal atrocity that comes under fire.

If you disagree with this downright dishonest and legally dubious bill head over to the Open Rights Group and see how you can make a difference.

Getting Things Done

Dear Lazyweb, I've just had that realization that I hoped I'd never have, I've got loads of plates spinning at the moment and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help balance them a bit!

I've been looking at various techniques of managing your workload effectively and David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) seems quite popular and there's a few guys at work using it to great effect, but I'm interested in a wider opinion.

If you've used GTD before how did you get on? Any plus points? Negative points?

Most importantly, does anyone have specific tool recommendations for supporting GTD? I'm pretty much handcuffed to my iPhone so I figure that's a pretty good organiser, but which tool?

I'm looking at Remember The Milk and Toodledo to keep track of tasks and goals and I know they both have iPhone clients but does anyone have any experience with either?

Then again, maybe noone is even reading this and I've just wasted another ten minutes!

Super Hearing? Super Mixing more like!

I had a disc pop through the door the other day, alright, so it was a couple of weeks ago, but I've been busy listening to it!

It was from ex-XFM DJ, instrumental VJ from the early days of MTV and JLH Music head-honcho James Hyman.

Having been a fan of his various mix-cd's in the past, the Quentin Tarrantino one my personal favourite, I was quite excited to receive the latest in the series 'Super Hearing'.

Well it doesn't disappoint. From the opening introduction over that John Williams 'Superman Main Theme' right through to Burial's Archangel and Glasvegas' Daddy's Gone it's a proper barnstormer! Reworkings of modern classics from the likes of A-ha, REM, The Chemical Brothers lead to something altogether a bit more oldschool from AC/DC, Elvis Presley, John Lennon and The Rolling Stones but it heads there via cutting edge mashups and dubs from the likes of Benga & Coki, Diplo, Kanye West, Kid Cuidi, MIA and Dizzee Rascal and even a tip of the hat to the late Michael Jackson it really has got something for everyone (check the tracklisting at discogs.com).

Twisting and turning from house to dubstep to hiphop to downbeat the movie theme is ever present (check the awesome movie-poster artwork!) but never cheesy or clichéd this mix blends and builds beats, rhythms and feeling to take the listener on a musical journey to a destination you feel like you know, but you're just not sure how you're going to get there!

If you like the Diplo meets Soulwax meets N*E*R*D and gets mashed up a bit with Toddla T and Benga on the way type sound, this is for you.

Bottom line: I think it's going to be pretty much resident on my iPod, the latest in a great series of mix-CD's, 10/10, keep 'em coming James ;)

Just saw this over on Chocolate and Vodka and I agree with @Suw, I think it's brilliant and I agree with many of the points raised within.
