We have a new contributor!

Ranting about the world at large can be a full time job so it’s always nice when someone offers to lend a hand and has the same kind of views and opinions as you.

Bullshit introductions aside, I’d like to welcome mattysmash to Jofftastic. I’m sure his words will keep you entertained for at least a few minutes.

Mattysmash (or just plain ‘Matt’ to his Mum) is lead designer at one of Peterborough’s newest web design agencies, Ninethirty Creative.  In a city where dire web agencies have had it their way for too long, Ninethirty are going to separate the monkeys from the men (cue macho grunting and chest beating).

I hope you’ll enjoy reading his thoughts as much as he enjoys sharing them.

Big Brother’s 19 year old entrepreneur Liam Young

There’s nothing the public like more than picking up on other people’s failings as a human being and lying to get yourself onto national TV… well, Big Brother… has got to be up there with the likes of murder, robbery and stealing the gifts out of the middle of crackers on Xmas day.

So when I turned over to watch E4 and saw big Scot John Loughton being controlled by Matt Lucas I thought it might be worth watching for at least a few minutes. Just a few minutes later a new housemate enters and it’s self-proclaimed “entrepreneur” 19 year old Liam Young from Liverpool.

IOW 2008 Festival to be the best yet!

New line up announcements for the 2008 Isle of Wight Festival are flooding in fast. It’s now looking to be the best the IoW has seen in years and that’s saying something when we’ve seen The Prodigy, Foo Fighters, Coldplay and The Rolling Stones.

Ok, so I’m not going and I’ll have to get over that at some point but you have no excuse and should have your tickets booked and your cowboy hats packed!

No Isle of Wight for me in 2008

As far as I’m concerned, for me the Isle of Wight Festival for 2008 has been cancelled.

It’s a shame because the line up is one of the best for years: The Kaiser Chiefs, Sex Pistols and The Police have been announced as headlining Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Other acts announced so far include Lily Allen, The Enemy, James, The Zutons, Kate Nash, Iggy & The Stooges and KT Tunstall.

If you’re a fan of music then without a doubt you’re going to have a fantastic time at the festival, so it’s a shame that the organisers have seen fit to well and truly fleece their customers with 2008 ticket sales.

The Police to headline 2008 Isle of Wight Festival

Just announced on the Official Isle of Wight Festival website is news that The Police will be headlining on the Sunday night!

IoW Festival Promoter John Giddings confirmed The Police will bring 2008′s festival to a close on the Sunday night. As their only UK festival outing in 2008, The Police’s performance will surely be one of the highlights of the summer.

Rumours were flying around last year that Sting or The Police would be playing however the festival date clashed with another concert Sting was performing at. Instead, last year’s headliners The Rolling Stones wowed an estimated 50,000 festival goers with their performance and raised the bar for this years acts.

Isle of Wight Festival First

Barely six months have gone past since the last Isle of Wight festival and already tills are ringing with the sound of ticket sales for the 2008 festival.

This time however, the tickets on sale aren’t going to get you through the gate to the main stage. Instead, the £75 Festival First tickets will buy you priority booking for a pre-sale block of Isle of Wight festival 2008 weekend camping tickets.
At first glance, this screams of being a scam. Why pay an EXTRA £75 on top of what’s likely to be in excess of £125 a ticket anyway just so you can get to the front of the ticket sales queue?

Accordion squeezes out Guitar Hero

In a case of ultimate game parodies, “Schadenfreude Interactive” have taken the whole musician-video game concept to another level with their latest title: Accordion Hero.

As far fetched as it sounds, with the current breed of musical games, you can bet that someone out there is considering turning it into a saleable product.
