I thought it would be enjoyable to make a beer bottle top into a badge and then I inhaled the solder fumes and the burning plastic fumes and almost broke down when the blu tack I used almost smeared over the front of it and melted into liquid cancer. Super glue would’ve been better in hindsight.

dance-littlee-liar asked: Can you name your favourite artists?

I would say “ohh no I can’t possibly name a favourrite” but I shan’t. Including bands as well as artists I like Arcade Fire, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Bon Iver, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Fleetwood Mac, Florence and the Machine, Johnny Flynn, Joy Division, The Middle East, The Mountain Goats, Pixies, The Shins and The Smiths. Boom.

I would urge anyone to watch these two documentaries. I think that although they both portray their point in two very different ways they both do it rather well.

Jesus Camp this is a film about how the Evangelical message of modern day Christians in the Bible Belt of America affects their impressionable kids. Every time I watch it I ponder whether its message is strictly for or against the indoctrination of children but nonetheless I find the whole ordeal overwhelmingly interesting. Not just their conviction in the existence of God is astounding but how they believe that his message is more potent than every before is just astounding. At the beginning of the movie, there are a group of children performing a dance choreographed to a song based around the prophesy that Jesus is coming back to Earth soon and will “shake the nations”. 

Supersize Me is a documentary by Morgan Spurlock and his quest to see what happens if he just ate McDonalds food for 30 days. With a strict daily intake of three Macshack meals he watches his body turn to a sluggish lump of depression and ill health. Not only does Morgan show you what happened to his body, he also recounts what is happening to the US and its struggle to fight the fast food culture. The movie slowly reveals how America’s love of the must-have consumeristic lifestyle and the harsh reality of the obesity epidemic in the United States are two sides of the same coin. Also it makes me extremely jealous of how much tastier McDonald’s looks in the US compared to England :P
