What a pint sized legend.
My name is Kat Thomas. My job is to create content. Stuff that will entertain you and stuff that you’ll hopefully want to tell your mates about.
So this is a blog dedicated to content – the good stuff I wish I’d thought of, and the shit stuff that I thank god I didn’t.

When it’s 3.06am, 42 degrees outside and I’m listening to the reassuring rattle of the air conditioning, I occasionally contemplate the fact that my profession, as I know it now, needs to evolve radically to serve a legitimate commercial purpose in years to come. It’s a sobering thought… when I’m sober at least. But then I imagine how this legend feels.
Part one in a four part series documenting the story behind remixing; the sui generis art of collecting material, combining it and creating something new. The simultaneous emergence of cut-up literature from William Burrows in Paris just as Led Zeppelin is experimenting with musical appropriation is ticking all the boxes for a euphonic enthusiast like me. Go on, have a cheeky watch as you inhale your cheese and ham sandwich this lunchtime. Find out more here.

Nice spot BV.
Fact. I love the olden days. Any excuse to immerse myself in the narratives of yesteryear and I’m there. So to speak. Today I’m liking this; probably some of the earliest colour motion picture you’re likely to see. Blush faced bygone beauties at their best, captured on Kodak Kodachrome in 1922. I reckon the enchanting soundtrack sets off this antiquated anecdote perfectly. Nice huh?
Got an errant penchant for planes? Hankering for a cheeky vaycay? Me too. Check out this time lapse video of a Boeing 747 getting its new Virgin Atlantic livery, shot over four days. Its left me gagging for a whiff of aviation fuel and the sip of a post check-in beer.
Here’s the trailer for ‘Let Me In’ the big budget, bells’n’whistles remake of the 2008 Swedish lo-fi romantic horror ‘Let The Right One In’. I fucking adored the original flick. I find the Hollywood obsession with recutting the classics benign at best and vexatious at worst. The original smashed it at Tribeca and Méliès d’Or… so did we really need a bastardized, bowlderized version? Apparently so. But, not being one for conjecture for conjecture’s sake, and ever the optimist, I’m quietly, cautiously hopeful this might not be a total catastrophe. Yes I’ve been here before and disappointment reined supreme. We’ll just have to wait and see. Check out the trailer for the original here.
