Back on the Chain Gang.

Flying spittle says they don't care.

Right this minute, the Chain Gang's groovy 2nd album *&@#! (read as shift-87231) is on loop in my player because I honestly can't get enough of it. I know the girls personally, especially Dorky & Mae, and have seen their rise to underground cult status since the old Dredd days so having this kind of exposure right now is a sign that they've made it, not to the mainstream thank goodness but to public awareness. And rightfully so because these girls are gifted, as you'll be able to hear from their music samples.

You can order the album online.

Being out of the (advertising) loop for quite a while now, Arn and I only recently learned about Ogilvy Singapore's controversial Cannes Lion-winning "God Speaks" campaign*. As with anything, not everyone liked it.

Looking at the campaign as a spectator (as opposed to being an adperson) though, I think the idea behind the one that reads

"How can you possibly be a self-made man? I specifically recall creating you." - God

is something we all need to be hammered down with every once in a while.

*that I'm sure this ol' man had something to do with somehow.

Say hello to the new Eraserheads vocalist.
