It’s been a busy year for the Include Digital SlimServer jukebox! Feast your eyes on the top 5 uber-tunes:

1. Windy City Theme by Carl Davis & The Chi-Sound Orchestra (played 45 times) - this is proper Dave - disco genius!
2. Getting Nasty by Ike Turner (played 27 times) - dirtier than a tramp’s overcoat!
3. Bustin’ Loose by Chuck Brown (played 19 times) - a go-go legend, brilliant!
4. Ebony and Ivory by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney (played 15 times) - no comment!
5. Roads Must Roll by Boom Bip (played 13 times)

The internet radio stations that have been aired the most:

WeFunk - lots of great funk, but too much angry rap
Canora Radio - a recent find - tasty!
SwissGroove - good, but perhaps a little bland at times (too much self-indulgent “smooth” jazz)
Dinner Jazz Excursion - very nice, comfortable as your grandad’s pipe and slippers

Carl Davis - he has all his digits, and he’s justifiably proud of them.

Stevie’s nadir, McCartney’s shame - this tune single-handedly brought racial harmony to the entire planet which survives to this day. Cleanse your mind of this filth with some proper Wonder.

Today sees the launch of our new brand identity, we hope you like it!

Include Digital has created a brand new competition mechanic for the Spice Girls.

If you have a photo of yourself dressed as a Spice Girl past or present, visit www.thespicegirlsgreatesthits.com/comps/o2/ and you could win a pair of tickets to see the girls live at London’s O2 arena in January!

LucasFilm has commissioned Christmas card designs for the past 30 years; unsurprisingly, the influence of The Force is strong. You can see most of them here.

The staff of The Onion’s A.V. Club encounter several thousand band names a year, whether by receiving albums, press releases or gig listings. Just as it is inevitable that an infinite number of monkeys will pen the works of Shakespeare, you can pretty much guarantee that of these thousands of names, some will be laugh-out-loud absurd.

You can see the full list here, but the best of the bunch must be:

• The Asbestos Tampons
• Dyslexic Speedreaders
• Baboon Torture Division
• Gay Witch Abortion
• Statutory Grape

Search behemoth Google has announced a new tool to rival Wikipedia. Currently known as “knol” (it stand for a unit of knowledge, apparently), its object is “to encourage people who know a particular subject to write an authoritative article about it.” This sounds very much like Wikipedia, although some would argue that you need no nothing about a subject to be a Wikipedia contributor (despite credible evidence that suggest otherwise).

Google has yet to announce when the general public will get to experience “knol”, but you can find out more and see a screenshot of the prototype here.

Eccentric designer Tom Dukich has created the Rain Pod, an umbrella fitted with an iPod and speakers within the handle (you can just make out the controls in the blurry photo below). If you fancy owning it, get bidding on eBay.

Soul legend Ike Turner has left for a funkier plane. Granted, the wife beating was out of order, but hey, he created some great music, so I can cut the guy some slack. If you’re unfamiliar with his work, you could do worse than check out Getting Nasty - the title track is a beast!

Introduce your children to the realities of inner-city life with the excellent Urban Collectables collection.
