  • Wow! Thank You!

    I started this blog at the end of December 2008 for a college assignment. I said at the time that I might keep it up if it was easy to use, which it was. When I was ill last summer, I started including more things on the blog, music and movies reviews and whatever else was pissing me off.

    The amount of hits went from one or two a day to now over 1100 a week. I never thought anyone would be bothered reading, so coming home and seeing that I had almost 50100 hits is just amazing.

    Thank you for reading

  • Mike Got Spiked Press Release: Bye Jonathan

    mike got spiked - Jonathan

    Got this in my inbox this morning from Mike Got Spiked, best of luck to Jonathan.

    I’m sure this is just the start of a new chapter for the rest of the guys.

    Hopefully plans to release their second album won’t be affected, looking forward to hearing it.

    Los Angeles, California.

    September 6, 2010

    It’s with heavy hearts and a lifetime of brilliant memories that mike got spiked today announce the departure of bassist and founding member, Jonathan Myles, from the band.

    Over the course of eight amazing years, Jonathan has shared in a wild journey that started with a group of friends playing to the rest of their mates in filthy pubs in rural Ireland, and has now taken mike got spiked to a full-time life on the road in the USA.

    From strutting his stuff with us on the Vans Warped Tour to being the life and soul of the party in pretty much anywhere in America that you care to mention, Jonathan will always remain a valuable asset to the history of this band.

    While Jonathan has decided to leave mike got spiked to pursue other interests, the remaining members, Dave, Conall and Gavin would like to express our gratitude to him for his artistry and dedication.

    Although we are saddened to see him go, we wish Jonathan the very best of luck with his future endeavours, musical or otherwise, and thank
    him for his continued input to our forthcoming second album.

    The search for Jonathan’s replacement is currently underway. Anyone interested in auditioning for the position should email

  • France 24 RFI Web Documentary Award 2010

    France 24 RFI Web Documentary Award 2010

    france 24 rfi web documentary awardsThanks to @Maeve_10 for pointing these out to me.

    Here are the nominees in the France 24 RFI Web Documentary Award 2010. Some pretty amazing stuff in there. I haven’t managed to watch them all yet but so far I think the interactive Prison Valley is amazing.

    It just shows I think, how important the web is when all these documentaries have been made specially for the web. It also shows how big the impact can be if organisations like Reuters and the Red Cross are getting involved.

    Bravo!
