Centuries of Sound - 1919
I made this!
A mix of music from a hundred years ago exactly, lots of it is good, well I think so anyway.
MP3 download, streaming, blog post, other things under the link, or you can just search for "Centuries of Sound" wherever you get podcasts from.
This month I've also redesigned the site, it looks a bit less like somebody's living room in a documentary about hoarders whose bodies weren't found for a year.

Awesome - always look forward to these!
Can't wait until we get the 1960s and 70s, but it's great to hear stuff that I would never ever come across otherwise!

Quite a while to wait til the 60s I'm afraid.
1927 onwards is going to be a huge step up though.

Ha! Indeed. I'm still (relatively) young, so can play the waiting game.
At your current pace we should be in 1960s in around 4 years I suppose.

A patent for a fart rocket.
The description is something to behold.
"This invention relates generally to toy gas-fired missiles, and more particularly to a toy gas-fired missile and launcher assembly in which the explosive mixture for propelling the missile is derived from colonic gas discharged by the operator of the toy."
"To operate the assembly, the operator places the inlet tube with its valve open adjacent his anal region from which a colonic gas is discharged."
(I know this has been posted before, but I think 12 years is enough time to have passed that this isn't really considered a repost)

"...and fire the missile into space".
So, as long as your knock-off version only aims for a stratospheric apogee then you're not violating the patent.

The Story Of Doctor Galapagos
I made this!
Doctor Byron Galapagos is driven by an obsessive desire to create the world’s first racing tortoise.
Riding on his majestic steed, Agamemnon, he welcomes two new employees to his facility.
This is the story of their introduction to the wonderful creations of Doctor Galapagos.

All you need is to have the first minute filmed in a hot air balloon over the Serengeti
then each of the following 7 minutes showing you walking on a beach in a different continent but filmed from a drone. Then the last shot of you telling the end of the story in a hot air balloon over the Alps while shooing a bearded vulture away

My favourite work of Attenborough's is that series where he was in a hot air balloon
drinking masses of vodka, eating chilli peppers and beans by the bucket-load, shitting and pissing off the side of the basket and screaming while they floated slowly over the town centre of Dunstable.
That was great.

Kid cheated in a game
against real players, excuses it because he didn't do it in a big competition
(or use his main machine/account).
Fuck that, I play a bit of PUBG, don't take it very seriously,
but if I get killed by a cheat, I would hope that cheat gets banned,
doubly so if the cunt's making money off it.

..so...
Let me get this right...
- Kid cheats at game
- People in charge of game ban him
- Kid goes on YouTube, cries and decides to put it online anyway because clicks = cash
- Kid doesn't want to lose his account even though he can create a new one.
No sympathy. I'm no nutter, but you have to learn that if you f**k up, there's consequences. Putting your tears online to bag yourself more money, then getting your mom to talk to the papers for even more cash? Sod off.

Apparently the video of him blubbing about him being banned from a computer game netted him around £20,000
He can create a new account, but he's been 'hardware banned', which means that the client on his PC will report back to Fortnite HQ if it detects that his computer is trying to access the servers (a bit like a MAC address). Not that it really bloody matters when he's got enough money to buy a whole new PC or ten.
No doubt they'll overturn the ban in a few weeks, anyway. As him up there ^ said - cunts, the lot of them.

If I was epic,
I'd get a 3d artist to recreate his crying face as a free cosmetic DLC, and create a contract whereby he can only be unbanned if he licenses that image to them to use for $1.
He can play, but everyone gets to taunt him with his own crybaby bullshit.

It's not based on MAC address, though. Not completely at least.
It takes a hardware fingerprint of the entire PC, much the same as Windows does and looks for specific vendor information/serial numbers. If enough serial numbers match, it decides that the machine is blacklisted and denies it access to the Server.
