After an amazing day at the World Cup - just stop and think how much better, how unforgettable this Friday night would have been if this was in a proper country at a proper time.

Branding, advertising, whatever the fuck it's called, is so simple, really, really simple. But few brands are confident enough to go for it. Everyone nods at this graphic but try getting anyone to actually be Party Cannon.

Cheerio then Twitter. I'll get my (better) community vibes elsewhere. Running = Tracksmith slack and Herne Hill Harriers Music = Test Pressing forum and Weatherall FB group The Flightpath Estate Advertising (+ beyond) = Colin and Noah's WITI slack Football = arseblog discord Peas

This is real fun. Check it out. Even if just to see how good a proper Hollywood production looks on a mobile screen.

Live on the radio today 5-7pm GMT. "Inheritance Trax" - the weird and wonderful records you'd pass on to your kids. Tune in Loose.Fm

People chatting about AI writing ads miss the point completely. It's really easy to write ads now. The hard part is getting clients to buy them. Do you think that will get better or worse, with clients knowing that a bot wrote them?

Back on the radio today with a special International Women's Day show. Alice Coltrain, Grace Jones, Roxane Shante, Peaches, Kelly Lee Owens, Nina Walsh and of course more Bananarama. Gonna be fun. 5-7pm GMT Live on LOOSE.FM (also it's my bday) #IWD2023 #vinyl

Those first few years of ö at Arsenal were magical. It was a privilege to watch him. Just played the game differently from everyone else.

I'd love to see how an autonomous car would handle the clusterfuck that is the school run. Where rules go out of the window, just for a few secs - because we all instinctively know, why someone is double parked or whatever. Figure that out - then we'll talk.

This looks cool. Usually the kind of idea / art direction / production reserved for bands like Daft Punk, Beyonce, Chem Bros etc. Nice change.

When strategy meets creative (the strong images are key for Just Stop Oil ) then you have a win.

It's been a while but Balearic or Baloney is back at Cannes this year. Nice little street bar, two blocks back from the beach. The perfect anti-party party. It would be great to see you 🎹🌞💚

On Wednesday night you can go see The Foo Fighters and A$AP Rocky or listen to me play Andrew Weatherall and Bananarama records. Life is about choices friends.

Go see some people talk about AI and Ads or watch the best cricket match in ages.

Two stories on Dezeen - one about using ChatGPT to design a building. The other about using mushrooms to build a hut at Glastonbury. A thought. Every time you see 'use AI/ChatGPT etc' replace that with 'mushrooms'. "We're using mushrooms to develop our next project"..etc.

No Ibiza pool party or hotel lounge nonsense just lazy summer beats absolutely perfected.

Yo.

Introducing... The Gravy Bomb. Because why should the turkey have all the fun at Christmas? #Christmas #gravy #turkey #bath #relax #food #giftideas

We hear a lot about Gareth Southgate’s man management. Manage to persuade Ben White to play for #England (RB,CB, DM doesn’t matter) and we have a great chance of winning the #euros #arsenal #afc
