Nothing more than me thinking this is a very cool advert. Nothing mind blowing, just very atmospheric, and not gimmicky.

Now,

In today's world, there are a number of important questions we must ask - How will global warming affect me? Do I eat too much salt? Am I dead inside if I feel nothing after hitting a rabbit in my car?

But more importantly than any of that, the question we should all be asking relates to the new Apple iPhone - specifically - WILL IT BLEND?!

Yup, amazing news - Led Zep (sans Bonham, of course) are apparently to re-unite, to play a gig in London... beyond that, they may consider touring again.

Forget Rage, I know what I want tickets for!

Here we are, knee deep in festival season... Rock Ness and Glastonbury have already passed, whilst T in the Park and Connect are waiting to drop.

Of course, there is the one horrible thing that everyone has to embrace in a festival field - not a hangover, not mud, but going for a dump in a toilet that's more like a gateway to hell, than a public convenience.

But the next time, when you stagger in to a plastic box of misery, and the smell catches in the back of your throat - think of these guys:

So,

Back from up Fort William way this evening, taking photos all day... Managed 3 SDAs and 2 NPS on the canter now, with the camera, which has been good fun. Headed up with Doug and his mate Gordon, started off from the top of the gondola, and walked/photographed our way down the hill over the course of the day. Foggy to start with, thousands of midges, but a good hike nonetheless.

So, RockNess was last weekend, and I was up there doing my gig photography thing for the site - had a great time. Never mind free red bull, they were giving out free Carlsberg to the press all weekend... that's media hospitality!

Anyway, it was a truly phenomenal weekend, and I'd recommend that anyone who wants a great line-up, without the bollocks of frantic phoning and website refreshing to get a ticket - go to Dores next summer, and have a great time.

Seeing as I'm meant to have my ear to the ground, in terms of music...

Seems like there may be potential for Rage playing UK dates in unusual seaside locations, in late Summer.
