We were toying with the idea of a ‘sidebar blog’ recently-a place to put links to all thise dope things we stumble across inn the constant pursuit of entertainment.

*and when I say everyone I mean everyone apart from a certain recently deceased funk legend initialled hotty who has a birthday coming up soon
Oh and the Death Proof poster is taken from the Tarantino part of the Grindhouse Double bill coming later in the year, which looks awesome, has great artwork and stars Kurt Russell-it doesn’t get much better than that.
