Check out the original version:
TRACK 2) Lydia Cole: 'Mother Earth & Father Time' from Charlottes Web

Real Life Batman
The ultimate accessory for a Batman fan, your very own Batcave!!! Super cool - and what a supportive family. Very impressed!
Music Video: Mali Mali - Song For The Sun
from Saskias Cnr today: We had a chat about local lads Mali Mali and the new music vid for their 'Song for the Sun'
they're also the current Kiwi Download - find that here!
and listen to their recent homegrown show with Jon here...
K-Pop
from Saskias Cnr today...
we found out Saskia has a 'Korean Fan Girl' past - in fact this is the song that started it all when she saw this out the corner of her eye at a milk tea store in takapuna...
And this is f (x) the K-Pop girl band who are in the country filming their tv show at the moment! Not a bad tune...
The Sleepy Dragon
A week before Easter, we ran a board game competition giving away a copy of the game Dixit. We put up a picture from the game and asked people to write a story about it. This is the picture that inspired our winner Andrew's story about a sleepy dragon.
The story was so epic we thought it would sound smashing with a classic english narrator... we were right. check it out!
Post it Animations
From Saskia's Corner today...
You'd have to be pretty committed to make this!
'This stop motion tribute to my 2 favorite old school arcade games is based on actual recorded game footage. The recordings were printed out, one frame at a time, and transferred by hand to various walls around my office floor using thousands of Post-It Notes. The process consumed weekends and holidays for the past 11 months. Changing background scenery was masked out and replaced with 1 consistent frame throughout the animation, producing an eerie stillness amid the moving images on the walls.' - Michael Birken

Saskia's Corner - Hadoken!
After doing our version of the Japenese 'Hadoken' poses Saskia decided to art it up a touch... We also realised 'Vadering' is a thing now too...
recently we spoke about retro games, here's the site to track them down! GOG.com
if you're wondering the 'Hadoken' is classic street fighter - Exhibit A:
We noted another classic force punch, the Hadokens epic cousin from Dragonball Z the 'Kamehameha!'
